Dave Johnson on social software, open source and Java

planet.sun.com

We haven't released the standalone Roller-Planet application yet, but the .Sun Engineering team quietly deployed the latest bits at planet.sun.com a couple of weeks ago in response to requests from the Glassfish, SWDP and other teams for planet-style web sites. You can follow the links on the main page to find planets for Glassfish, SWDP, Sun India, Sun Alumni, Sun Java System Web Server, web services and globalization bloggers.

What's Roller-Planet? It's a community aggregation server, similar to Planet-Planet but with some key differences: it's got a web UI that enables groups of users to run their own planet sites, it's based on Java and it uses the ROME feed parser and fetcher. I've written about it before. We don't have a release plan yet for Roller-Planet so if you really want to try it you'll have to fetch and build it from the Apache Roller SVN repo.

Doh! That's embarrassing. Thanks Sam, we'll get that fixed.

<a href="http://www.planetplanet.org/">Planet</a> is just "Planet". :-)

Really? And all this time I thought it was Planet-Planet. I was fooled by the planetplanet.org domain name and the PLANET PLANET logo graphic on the site.
