Thanks Richard and anyone else involved for getting all this stuff
moving.
I was browsing the new Ozalt.net site and stumbled on the (currently
empty) blog link: http://ozalt.net/blog/
I'm always on the lookout for Aussie .NET blogs, and was wondering
what the chances were of getting an aggregate feed to a whole heap of
Aussie ALT.NET member's blogs up there. IMO this would be a great way
of sharing knowledge around our local community.
Cheers,
David

That's definitely the plan - I just haven't got around to setting it up as yet.
Out of curiosity, which blogs would you like to see there?

Basically anyone who attends Oz Alt.Net meetings (including virtual ones), and has a software dev-focused blog would meet my selection criteria. :)
Previous presenters from Sydney ALT.NET like you, James Crisp, Ali and Damian would be a nice start. If people want an opt-in kind of thing then I'm happy to volunteer to moderate requests (and I'll set very reasonable prices for bribes in exchange for approving links :P).

That's convenient, because I just did :-)
http://ozalt.net/blog/aussie-alt-net-bloggers/
I probably need more bloggers in there. At the moment there are the following people:
Damian Maclennan
Ali Shafai
James Crisp
Paul Batum
Michael Minutillo
Xerxes B
& Yours truly
If you want a feed added, simply reply with the feed url and I'll set about including it (once I make sure it's an Aussie blogger and it's got Alt.net content).

Hi Everyone,
Hello from Canberra (The forgotten state on the ALT.NET movement, or are
we just lazzzzzzyyyy?)
I have just joined to this group. Although I am not much of a writer at
the http://analystdeveloper.com/blogs/gurkaneng, I am interested in the
ALT.NET topics and technologies. I have also written Poor Man's TFS
entry which certifies me as an ALT.NET guy :-) (Though it needs to be
updated)
May I request to be included in the ALT.NET bloggers list? My RSS is

Hi all,
Before I get too heavily spammed with "add my feed" emails I'd just like to clarify the criteria I'd like to use for adding a blog to the feed.
My apologies for not doing this earlier as well - I want this process to be as transparent as possible, since it's your community and you should have a say in how it shapes up.
So, here's what I've come up with as an initial list:
1. Australian (duh!)
2. Blogs regularly. I think at least one or two on-topic posts per month.
3. Blogs content mostly related to alt.net (e.g. OO principles, agile, unit testing, DDD, clean code, and so forth)
4. Writes good posts
Bonus points for:
4. Is active in an open source project that applies alt.net principles and practices
5. Has presented at alt.net groups or is active in the Australian Alt.Net community
Am I missing anything here? Or being to stringent?
For reference, the list of blogs that are in the feed at this stage are:
http://wolfbyte-net.blogspot.com/
http://damianm.com/
http://www.xerxesb.com/
http://richardsbraindump.blogspot.com/ (yes, it's mine. Is this a conflict of interest?)
http://www.paulbatum.com/
http://jamescrisp.org/
Do you think the blogs I've listed meet the criteria or should I remove some. And what other blogs are there that meet the criteria and should/could be included?
Any and all feedback is welcome.

Ok you can keep your blog there, but you owe us all a beer :P

I would like to nominate my own blog - but I am happy to defer the
ultimate decision to the group. Things have been a bit quiet lately
because I haven't been coding all that much.

Just a suggestion, and then I'll go back to lurking :)
Any chance of doing two lists - one of active people blogging about
Alt .NET topics, and one for the guys who are active on the list but
may not actively blog about Alt .NET?
Some of the guys on the list I'm sure have a good interest in Alt .NET
but may not be in a situation to work in that environment daily, but
still blog about their working day's .NET information and might be of
value to others - or the guys themselves might be interesting to
follow - get to know your fellow dev, and all.
I'm not putting that forward for my benefit, and not trying to be
difficult, but it'd just be interesting to get a list of Aussie .NET
guys blogs beyond just the ones that make the grade.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Guys
Sorry I'm late to the party... not sure if my blog qualifies as I'm a
kiwi living in Perth *ducks* but I blog pretty frequently, have been
following Alt.Net since day 1, attended the Seattle and London open
spaces in 08 and present pretty regularly.
