899441 - Removing old Mozilla employees that now work for competitors from Planet Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Websites :: planet.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Erik Vold [:erikvold] (please needinfo? me)]

I'm not sure where else to ask this, but I'm curious why we have ex Mozilla employees like Ray Bango (whom now work for companies like Microsoft) in our Planet Mozilla feed?

I get once a Mozillian always a Mozillian, but should we really listing these people in Planet Mozilla over active community members that are not listed merely because they are not employees?

Unless I'm very much, and shockingly, mistaken, active community members are quite welcome to be listed in planet.mo regardless of employment status.

Indeed - no one is omitted "because they are not employees".

If you have specific examples of people posting things that are no longer relevant to the Planet Audience, by all means bring it up with the planet peers. A bug seems like a fine way to do that, though you might get prompter response if you email them at [e-mail].

Without specific examples I'm not sure this bug tracks anything actionable.

Resolving INVALID as this isn't an issue.
