Planet GNOME is about the people moreso than the project. We talk about the
project *all the time*. The reason why I started Planet GNOME (and Planet!)
was to read about and better understand the *people*. That's why full feeds
are preferred over GNOME-specific tags, why we have hackergotchis (to put a
face to a name), and why this idea has been so influential around the FLOSS
community.

It's related to GNOME because they're part of our *family*, and we are all
better off for knowing each other.
