These are just issues that a burgeoning community, like Ubutunu, needs to deal with and I'm sure you and Christer will do a great job managing it. Aaron,

My post was definitely not meant to be political. These are just issues that a burgeoning community, like Ubutunu, needs to deal with and I’m sure you and Christer will do a great job managing it.

If we can set some guidelines on use we could see about opening things up.

At any rate, here are the reasons why we made the decision to keep that planet to approved LoCo groups only. The reason is, http://www.ubuntuweblogs.org and http://planet.ubuntu.com cover the needs for Ubuntu members and nonmembers alike to aggregate their blogs, and receive decent traffic. If we allowed yet another planet for individuals, then we would run into duplicate content. The only way to avoid duplicate content would be to employ heavy moderation keeping the planet about US teams only. I think we can all agree that we're grown-ups, and heavy moderation is just babysitting, which isn't needed. Another reason we chose the direction for the planet that we did, is because the US Teams Mentoring Project is about just that: US Teams, not individuals. Thus, if a team has a news site, where it publishes the latest events, meetings and happenings about the team, then the planet is the place to publish this content, thus, keeping other teams in the loop and know-how about ideas for their own team. The planet is for approved teams only, to give some motivation and desire to become an approved LoCo team. If you have any questions about the decisions we made, I would love to discuss them with you in #ubuntu-us on Freenode. Thanks.
