Before you federate with the Fedora Planet, understand the guidelines on appropriate material to federate to Fedora Planet. Read these guidelines on appropriate material before you aggregate your blog.

Prerequisites

  1. Register a Fedora Account System (FAS) account.

  2. Sign the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement (FPCA).

  3. Be a member of at least one other group in the FAS system (also known as FPCA+1).

Enroll your feed in Fedora Planet

  1. Configure a category on your blog for content containing appropriate material for Fedora Planet. (For help with this, see below.)

  2. Log into the Fedora Account System. Navigate to your profile and click Edit Profile.

  3. Find the RSS URL option.

  4. Paste the URL of your category-specific RSS/RSS2/Atom feed into the option box.

  5. Scroll to the bottom and click Save.

Your blog content will eventually appear on Fedora Planet, together with independently-authored content from other Fedora community members.

There are two fields on the Fedora Account System profile page: RSS URL and Blog URL. RSS URL is used to build Fedora Planet. Any RSS feed you add to your profile will automatically be pulled into Fedora Planet. Blog URL is used to publish a link to your public blog, so it can appear in your profile. Blog URL is not used to build Fedora Planet.

Using categories, labels, or tags

Use a single category, label, or tag on your personal blog to enroll in Fedora Planet, rather than your whole blog. This allows you to highlight posts that are interesting for the Fedora community. Here are some specific instructions for making a category or label and finding your correct URL:
