As of a while ago, we have a blog on Apache Blogs here: blogs.apache.org/cloudstack
Most of the Apache blogs are used sparingly, and to announce releases, etc. (See blogs.apache.org for other examples.) This is also how I envisioned us using the Apache blog, but during the meeting it was brought up whether we should be encouraging other folks to post to the Apache blog on a wider array of topics. The question is, how are *we* going to use this blog? - As an "official voice" of the project for major announcements, etc. - The above + individual committers blogging there with more informal topics, etc.? I do want to see folks in the project being active and blogging, it's merely a question of whether it's done on personal blogs + pushed to things like Planet Apache + Planet CloudStack (when that's up) or whether we are comfortable using the blog for more individual posts. While there's some disagreement in how this particular platform should be used, I don't think there's any disagreement that the project does need to have many active voices rather than one or two. I hope that *all* contributors/committers are thinking a bit about how to promote CloudStack around release time, and the rest of the time. I spoke at a conference this weekend about CloudStack and received some interest from more than a few people who were totally unaware of CloudsStack until they caught the talk...
