Something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_aggregator ?

I'm not aware of official UNCLUG web space. One of the list owners want
to give a shout about that?

Yup, that's exactly what I had in mind! Actually I took some time out and hacked up a page using that too. Please check out http://www.unc.edu/~ritesh/unclug

Currently, this has the entire contents of my blog (for testing purposes only). Later, I think it will be better if we aggregate specifically tagged feeds only. I am running a refresh every hour using a simple shell script (I will check if this is working over time).

Once there are enough feeds we might try and acquire a group web space from UNC facilities for the same. I don't use my unc web/afs space at all so hosting this there is fine with me.

While we are still testing this out, I would like any interested bloggers to do the following:
 - create a tag on their blogs for postings you feel would be interesting to the LUG.
 - post a test message / mark a few previous messages with that tag
 - send me a link to the feed for the tag
 - (optional) send me a 100x100 image of your face/avatar/icon. It will appear on all your posts!

I will include that feed in the config of the aggregator and update the page. Feel free to drop me a mail if you have a question.
