Any open source blog?

Hi,

I find that being active in supporting and contributing to open source software really boost your experience and expertise. I've been active in WordPress (PHP blog software) community and without my involvement (developing plugins), I wouldn't know a thing about web developement.

With that said, do any of you know of open source blog software for asp.net with active community behind it? Also ideally this software should support plugins/modules.

The closest thing that I found is DotNetNuke.

@Phil Weber, what blog do you at for http://www.philweber.com/ ?

Thanks a bunch for the assistance.

DasBlog is a widely used, open-source .NET blog application: http://www.dasblog.info/

I use Movable Type (http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/), which is not open source. It is, however, written in perl and has an active third-party perl/php developer community: http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/docs/

DasBlog is good enough, though I was expecting the one which stores into database instead of flat file. Thanks.

There used to be an open-source .NET blog app called .Text which uses SQL Server, but it is now a commercial product: http://communityserver.org/

http://www.opensourcecms.com/ has a huge list of opensource CMS and Blog packages (and many other similar style projects). They only deal in PHP/MySQL though.
