Ok, the URL can be anything that starts off with blogs.apache.org/ So that can be blogs.apache.org/ooo blogs.apache.org/openoffice blogs.apache.org/openofficeorg (no dots or caps in the url Im afraid) etc.. The Title of the blog can be flexible too, I just checked and indeed it can be renamed, example: https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/ has the title 'The Apache Software Foundation Blog' http://blogs.apache.org/infra/ has the title 'Apache Infrastructure Team' ... so I think therefore please choose a URI to use and we can use something like 'Apache OpenOffice blog' or 'Apache OpenOffice.org blog' as a title, noting that this can be renamed at any point.
