These look like two distinct issues:

A. Importing OpenDocument to Drupal. See this relevant discussion: 
http://groups.drupal.org/node/9929

B. Publishing directly from OOo to Drupal. Here we have on the Drupal side 
two potential starting places I think.

1. The existing Blog API module in Drupal core. This would involve writing a 
Blog API client extension in OpenOffice.

2. As suggested by others, the Services module (not part of Drupal core). 
This would involve writing a Drupal Services client extension for 
OpenOffice. Here there would be more potential for customization, but the 
development would be tied to a contrib Drupal module's APIs.

Of the two, the Blog API seems to me the first option to look at. A key 
advantage is that the extension would not need to be Drupal-specific.
