The new service looks very nice.
Definitely better than the confluence stuff.
I was a bit puzzled as to how we get posts up there, do you know if
we need
to sign up for an account (I was looking for a registration link,
but didn't
find one), and post directly on there, or does it somehow aggregate
our own
blogs?
Just need to file a jira (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA)
and request an account for blogs.apache.org. Then I can give the
perms for the OpenEJB blog specifically.
As far as posting to blogs.apache.org/openejb, seems like there's a
"Save as Draft" option. Not sure if it will work, but we might be
able to use that to get lazy consensus. Sort of a write the blog
entry, post a link to the draft to the list, if no complaints/feedback
in a day or two, publish it.
As far as getting your individual blog syndicated, there's this new
service http://planet.apache.org/ . To get your blog in there you
just need to add your info to this file in svn: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/planet/committers.ini
Also, do you know if there's any functionality to include links to the
latest posts on blogs.apache.org from the news section on
openejb.apache.org- so we could perhaps get the best of both worlds?
The news stuff on the front page just uses an rss Confluence macro, so
we definitely can have the best of both worlds.

Very recently the ASF setup a new service: http://blogs.apache.org
Every project gets a section in it[1]. We're currently using the
somewhat
limited Confluence blog support[2]. The confluence blog support
doesn't
have tags and doesn't show entries in the rss feed older than 30 or
60 days
(something in that ballpark).
Should we switch over to blogs.apache.org?
