SofiaValley RSS Planet

This is the RSS Planet at http://planet.sofiavalley.com. The purpose of this Planet is to promote Sofia (and Bulgaria) as a place with many tallented developers and hackers and make it easier for foreigners to follow tech related activities in the region.

As an added bonus we also support another Planet in Bulgarian, targeted at the local IT community. It uses the same infrastructure but is accessible via different URL.
