Geronimo Blog
Did you know that we have a Geronimo Blog? Well, we do. Kevan created it a few months back and authorized those people that expressed interest at the time. That included me but I didn't even think about it again until yesterday when I discovered that nobody had yet posted at all. So ... I had the privilege to be the first person. I created just an initial Welcome post along with my thoughts about the purpose of the Blog and a hint of what I really wanted to post about (more on that later). I sort of felt that some introduction was necessary before posting any real content. I also just added a link to the blog on our web site under "Community". Since it might take a while to sync you can find the blog here: http://blogs.apache.org/geronimo/ As I mentioned in the initial post, I hope that we can use this blog to highlight new features, upcoming events, whatever people may find interesting or informative basically things that might be too easily lost in the volume of information on the mailing lists or wiki and that we want to call out in a special way. We might choose to come up with some guidelines or procedures for posting or we might just leave it open. Thoughts? I believe that Kevan is currently an admin and can add those interested in posting if you didn't express interest earlier. Joe

Ah, right. Thanks for the reminder Peter! I did startup the roller plugin, just last week. Was an easy way to get a roller instance up and running. I don't have full admin rights to our weblog. As there is already some custom theming, not sure how much customization we can do. Will keep it in mind, though. Any suggestions are welcome... Good to here its still kicking ... well if (or when) the project gets admin rights you have all the source files (custom css, xml, images and vm files) neatly put together in a geronimo roller theme plugin. It should give you a jump start in putting together something that have the same look as the Geronimo front page. If the blog was running on a Geronimo instance it could have been as simple as installing the theme plugin to get it up and running ;) but the roller manual contains details on how to apply custom themes manually. If you want to take a look here is the theme preview png https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/plugins/roller/trunk/roller-themes/src/main/resources/themes/glike/glike-preview.png regards peter petersson --kevan

On this note, we'll want to update our front page to pull in our blog posts as "news" instead of the Confluence news. Confluence has an rss macro, but the output is quite ugly. So ugly I had to write my own macro. As soon as we get some content I'll switch us over. -David
