JVM Bloggers Project

JVM Bloggers

Never miss any blog post from developers around JVM in Poland :)

Overview

Goal of this project is to gather information about every developer or company blogging about JVM related technologies in Poland, no matter if he is an oldschool Java fanboy, fancy Scala lover or niche Gosu expert.

Every Friday at 12am application sends a newsletter with all new blog posts from last 7 days. Currently newsletter is sent to the most of Java User Groups in Poland. If you want to have your group or personal e-mail added, please contact me (address below).

I want to promote blogging as the best way to share knowledge and learn from your readers at the same time. And the best way to do that is by helping blog authors to reach wider audience.

Your blog/JUG/conference is missing?

Please create a Pull Request adding it to

• bloggers.json for personal blogs

• companies.json for company blogs

• videos.json for videos from JUGs/Meetups/Conferences

and that's all. Once it is merged, you are on the list!

Roadmap

Done

1. Send weekly e-mail about latest blog posts to JUG mailing lists
2. Add technical blogs from Polish companies
3. Add moderation to discard off-topic content
4. Write some admin panel to manage moderation. etc.
5. Publish global RSS feed with all blog posts. You can limit and exclude authors using parameters. example: http://jvm-bloggers.com/pl/rss?limit=15&excludedAuthors=author1,author2
6. Add videos from JUGs and conferences in Poland

Planned

• Create website with all newsletter (latest and old ones)
• Fetch data about number of comments in articles
• Analyze tweets from developers and highlight those with most RTs, stars and the most active conversations
• Maybe export the idea to another country? :)
• .... this is a place for YOUR idea :)

Technical details
