Many of us don't bother setting tags for each of our blog postings. If it were to become a policy to have it set for a "Planet Debian On-Topic" subplanet, we probably would... although it's far from automatic. And many of the interesting messages are not strictly Debian-related, even if they are technical. > > Meeting one's fellow developer in person also (at least for me) helped > > a lot in turning random political content I strongly disagree with > > from something that pissed me off into something that just makes me > > roll my eyes and remember the good conversation we had. :) > > Agreed.

Yes, please subscribe me to that group. For me, the planet is a window to the lives of the people that form up this social group. We share a technical affinity, so we tend to write technical topics, but we write about our political views - As much as we write about our hobbies, our families, our lives. For me, Debian is as much a technical project as a social one. And that's the reason I enjoy the planet. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
