Tuscany blog

How about setting up a blog for the Tuscany project? We could use it to
publicize interesting events for all the different Tuscany sub projects -
new releases, use of Tuscany by another another project/company, upcoming
conference talks or slides from presentations, new spec release etc.

Other projects do this, for example the Dojo project has one at:
http://blog.dojotoolkit.org/

I think I could sometimes find interesting things to comment on from the
Java SCA perspective, but to be successful there would need to be more
frequent posts, so buy in from others involved in Tuscany to make sure there
are regular topical posts - would others be willing to participate?

If so, the next question is how to do this. There's various free blog sites,
http://www.jroller.com/, although thats specifically Java so may not fit our
multi-language nature so http://www.bloglines.com/ maybe better, I know some
other Apache WS people use that. Any other suggestions or which blog host to
use? Then there's how to administer the blog userid and password, i guess
the obvious thing is to share that with every Tuscany committer so all the
committers can post when ever they want, although there are other Tuscany
users and contributors who may want to post so should we consider
distributing the uid/pswd more widely?

I don't think it really matters where we put it - we can publicise it via
the aggregator and on the Tuscany website.
I think ant should just kick one off, give committers access, and we'll see
how it goes. I'm not a committer (maybe.. one day :-) ) but I think it would
be a worthwhile thing to do - helps get the message and concepts out there,
means people don't have to subscribe or wade through tons of mailing list
posts to get the major information and is a less formal, less technical and
more generally accessible format than any of the methods we currently have.

So +1 from me.

Ok we've http://apache-tuscany.blogspot.com/

I've invited all the committers and anyone else who expressed any interest
in this to join, you should receive an email. Anyone else interested just
say and you can be invited as well. I'll also add this to the Apache WS
planet aggregator .

Its looks a little sparse right now, as soon as you signup i'll make you all
admins so feel free to pretty it up :)

Would we be allowed that while we're incubating? If so I'd be +1 for that
above all others. But incubating-apache-tuscany seemed like a bit of a
mouthful.

Are you sure about "tuscanysca"? Wouldn't "tuscanysoa" be more inclusive?

OK, so after a minor off-line chat with ant I think the nice URL from
blogger makes me think +1 for blogger over airset.  If everyone else is
happy the last thing we need to do is express preferences over the URL for
the blog.  As ant mentioned, its in the form of

http://<whatever-you-choose>.blogspot.com/

so long as whatever-you-choose is not already in use of course.  BTW
"tuscany" is not available.  We have a placeholder on "tuscanysca", but can
change this.  Any comments?  In the absence of any strong feelings being
expressed in the near term we'll go with "tuscanysca".  Once this is decided
we can send out invitations to join blogger so that you can post.

Turns out blogger also supports team blogs:
http://help.blogger.com/bin/topic.py?topic=20

The main reason blogger may be better is you can choose a nicer URL to the
blog: whateveryouwant.blogspot.com

Re: Tuscany blog

Posted by kelvin goodson <ke...@thegoodsons.org.uk>.
I had an IRC chat and netmeeting session with ant, and have set up a test
blog using airset.  It has some limitations on the aesthetic side, but seems
to have all the features we want from a technical perspective.  Take a look
at the publically visible URLs ...

web interface ...
http://www.airset.com/Public/Blogs.jsp?id=3336

RSS feed
http://www.airset.com/syndicate/public/3336/blog.xml


If we go with this I'll collect the email addresses you'd like to use for
this and send you all invitations to join the group.

There are various levels of access control I can give out including .....

Project Leader -> Full control of blog
Team Member -> Read/Write

+ the public URLs

Let me know what you think.

Cheers, Kelvin.

Re: Tuscany blog

Posted by kelvin goodson <ke...@thegoodsons.org.uk>.
+1 for group blogging from me. I feel sure there will be times when joy or
despair will motivate me to blog to somewhere other than /dev/null which has
been my only option to date.  I'm not sure if it will fit the bill,  but
I've been setting up groups with airset.com recently (primarily for shared
calendars),  and it has lots of access control facilities for group members,
and the ability to blog and provide RSS feeds.

Regards, Kelvin.

Ant

Happy to contribute. I think the uname/password will be problematic if you
intend to distribute it and this is intended to be the blog voice of
tuscany. Maybe it needs to stay a committer thing, or even have one person
manage posts, and use the mail list as a submission vehicle for others?

Alternatively we need to find some hosted community blogging service
(although I did a quick google and didn't find anything obvious - was just a
quick look though) or set up our own (would need some hosted LAMP service)
and hand out unames/passwords as required.

b.t.w jroller gave me an error saying they are not accepting new users. So
blogger (i think blogspot is part of google also) vs bloglines?

Whatever you guys do. make sure to add your blog to the ws planet
aggregator so that it shows up here:

http://ws.apache.org/blog/

All you need to do is add an entry in the config.ini:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/admin/planet/
