[Ubuntu Oregon] team blog

So I was thinking it would be nice to have a blog. Integrating that
into our website is probably a good idea, but regardless, being
included in the Planet Ubuntu¹ feed (and maybe in the LoCo Portal²
feed) would be a good way to get the word out on what we're doing.
Currently, no one really casually runs into us and I think that would
be a good thing to try to have.

I should point out that until I was aware that the team needed a
leader that I didn't even know what LoCos were, let alone that there
was an Oregon team, despite being a contributor for many years. I'm
probably not the only one.

That being said, I've looked into the notion of aggregating our posts
via something like Yahoo Pipes, but I discover now that on Planet
Ubuntu this means it will link to the Pipes feed and can't be
redefined to point at some other site.

So I'm kind of leaning towards the idea that we actually have a blog
blog with various authors who can contribute to it. I guess we get a
Drupal website with the Canonical hosting³. Any Drupal lovers out
there can confirm that we can get a well-formed RSS feed out of it? I
know enough about Drupal to know that we can have a bloggish kind of
thing.

Anyone excited about blogging?
