Where I personally draw the line is that I'm fairly comfortable with Debian-involved people advertising their own services on Planet Debian: their own companies, their own consulting services, their own posts, and so forth. I would start getting very annoyed if syndicated blogs contained advertising for third parties. The stuff pushing Flattr directly is sort of borderline since it verges on multi-level marketing, but it's also a little like asking for donations using PayPal. It does advertise PayPal in a way, but only ancillary to the core purpose. (This is entirely apart from the question of whether Flattr is a good idea. Personally, I think it's a scam and am surprised by how many people are endorsing it. But one of the points of Planet Debian is that it includes all of the project, in all of our disagreements.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
