"Buzz"
Posted by Jo Cook on October 30, 2012
I've done a bit of work on the site today to sort out the menu and so on- this is now done in appearance/menus and new pages need to be manually added- you have been warned. Anyhow, the main thing is that I've switched on the syndication stuff, which appears in a category called "Buzz" and hence a page/menu item called "Buzz". This can be changed to something else if you'd prefer.
I haven't yet switched on the scheduled updating of this- I'm thinking of polling for updates every 3 hours or something like that, but I have checked that it doesn't re-add old posts if I delete them.
So, from you guys I'd like to know what you want the page/menu item to be called, then I'll set up a document for everyone else to add new blog-sites to.
Sound OK?

Looks good, I like the way that menu is expanding...
Buzz sounds good to me, unless there are any other bright ideas.
A couple of points:
· What are the selection criteria for inclusion – anything from our selected sites which mention ‘FOSS4G2013’?
· Is there a way of including some more branding/provenance info on the posts? It looks a bit at the moment as though everything has been posted by us, though I can see the links to the source. This may be something we can pick up in the next version of the design

Must be in a defined blog, must include FOSS4G or foss4g as a keyword (I think, not necessarily a tag).
The branding is because they come in as our posts- but the permalinks should point at the original. I think that's best, personally, otherwise the branding could get a bit weird. I can revisit this in a couple of days to test it though...
