For those coming to #LGM this year, I'll be moderating a BoF session titled "Pluto's Revenge: rethinking Planet software for community today" Join us!
We'll talk about what the modern equivalent of "Planet Foo" services should involve for communities these days.
Original Planet servers were built to intake personal blogs & output RSS, for people who often had feed readers. Communities today use other apps & protocols: Discourse, ActivityPub, Matrix, git tags ... (1/2)

If you're puzzled why this session is at a Libre Graphics event not, say, a web dev conference ... well, (1) I don't go to web dev conferences, and (2) at its core, a Planet service exists to provide connectivity for a community, so to rethink what that service looks like, I think you have to examine it from a community's POV. But obviously it's not specific to LGM; feel free to explore it in your own group; I hope lots do so! #LGM2026 #PlutosRevenge #RSS (2/2) https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2026/program/bof_plutos-Revenge-rethinking-planet-software-for-a-community-today/
