[Ubuntu-be] Opening a blogroll and implementing social stuff to the ubuntu-be website

Thu Jan 20 10:19:59 UTC 2011

Hi,

@pierre: It would be nice to see the planet working again, we could add our own blog to it. I really hope you manage to get it fixed! ;-)
@martijn: the planet is indeed something we have already, but the big downside with this is that it still requires you to allready have a blog.
If we would make our blog open to everyone they could all just submit their articles. Or won't that be a good idea?

greets

wouter
