I've been wanting for a very long time to have hackergochis on Planet Grep. The support is there, but if people don't submit them, that makes it so much harder to actually have hackergochis.

Experience as a reader of Planet Debian has taught me that the photos do add some value; they personalize the experience, and make a Planet more interesting to read -- at least in my personal opinion.

In an effort to get more hackergochis, I've added libravatar URLs for everyone on Planet Grep for whom I have at least one email address. With this, hopefully things will start looking somewhat better.

If you don't like the avatar that's being generated for your feed currently, you have two options:

  1. Configure a hackergochi using libravatar or gravatar. Planet Grep will pick that up.
  2. Send me a pull request which adds your photo to the Planet Grep configuration (safe-for-work photos only, please)

If you currently don't have a hackergochi on your feed, that means I have no information on you. In that case, please contact me. We can then figure out what the best way forward is.
