This file will keep on to evolve to share with our community how you can get involved in the project and how to contribute.

Contribute a Blog Post

There are several ways in which to do this.

• Via Github (if you are familiar with git, Github, and markdown)

  • Start by forking this repository
  • You can directly work on Github or add the post by working on a local copy of the repository in git
  • The blog posts folder is _posts
  • The post should be written in markdown
  • The image should have a dark and not too busy background as the title, description, date, and authors will be displayed against the background image in the post
  • The image should be uploaded to assets/img in this repository (either via git or Github)
  • The header should look like this:
