That sucks, I like your blog and I usually like Planet Debian too. But if they start making Blogs disappearing, i’ll probably stop using Planet Debian.
I have also appreciated reading what you have to say on planet debian. I think especially the Progeny centric posts relates more to Debian then the other stuff you post. Then again, I like reading John Fleck’s entries on planet gnome. :)
But it’s not such a big deal. I can just subscribe to another feed.
I can’t understand why the founder of Debian was removed from Debian Planet… I prefer to remove myself from Debian Planet also. Anyway, I don’t have much time devoted to free software, I prefer to package Java for Debian or help free classpath hackers, no writing about me.
The person who removed Ian is a Canonical employee, and he himself has plugged Canonical/Ubuntu in postings that appeared on Planet Debian, as have many others (not that there’s anything wrong with that, but the same rules should apply to all). A cynic might wonder whether Ian’s real offense was to say something negative about keybuk’s employer.
Who ever removed Ian needs to be tarred and feathered. If it wasn’t for Ian, the founder of Debian, the “Canonical employee” wouldn’t even be working with Ubentu/Debian GNU/Linux! I have removed my account from Debian Planet in protest.

Maybe ubuntu/canonical is the only commercial debian derivative which is acceptable on pdo..

“Free as in free speech…” and all that nonsense
It happened now:
Ian Murdocks, one of the founder of Debian Linux, Blog was removed from Planet Debian.
Why is that?
Joey Hess is showing us the answer:
