Planet Ubuntu Users

A new aggregation of blogs from Ubuntu users was set up. This differs from [http://planet.ubuntu.org/ Planet Ubuntu], and you do not need to be an official Ubuntu member to join. Please see http://ubuntuweblogs.org/ to discover and http://ubuntuweblogs.org/submit.html to submit your ubuntu weblog.

The idea came along from Carthik Sharma and Tiago Faria (aka Gouki):

Every Ubuntu user has now the opportunity of having his/her weblog on a Planet. Thank you for making this happen !
