I blog about the events and Mozilla stuff here http://www.mte90.net/en/mozilla/ but is not a bad idea blog about the community partecipation.
As a Rep i contact other italian mozillians for a public etherpad for aggregate our partecipation to publish in our forum weekly/monthly.
Participation is about sharing your thoughts, experiments, learning and success in participation at Mozilla. It could also be a post on a proposal you have to help Mozilla improve participation, but it should help other people learn from your experiences vrs ‘reporting type posts on volunteering activities’. Let us know if you have any questions!

The post syndicated should be in English and since we are using a tag it should be easy to post an article in English and another one in your local language without the tag (so it won’t be syndicated).
Why do we care if there were a bunch of different languages?
There’s lots of great machine translation tools out there that will allow
people to read something in a different language.

For the first phase I think we should to stick to English only (as Mozilla planet) so people can get the content directly. People following the planet via RSS or other channels are not going to take the time to go a translation tool, copy & paste the text.
We can evaluate having more languages later without making it a noise problem for planet readers.
Why should the default be English only and add more languages later? That’s exclusive by default vs. open/inclusive by default.
Let’s cast a wider net and then shrink it if there is noise and if people are annoyed.
We are a global community. People have ideas and blog in many different languages, and I think we should be encouraging people to see what’s said in other parts of the world by making that visible. That’s especially the case for Participation.
+1 to this, mostly because I’m curious about what’s happening that I wouldn’t otherwise know about because it’s not delivered in our main English channels. It might also perhaps be a good experiment to help Reps figure out how this could work there as well?
