Greetings,
Last Thursday[0], at the TC office hours, we brainstormed a bit around
the idea
of having a tech blog. This idea came first from Joshua Harlow and it
was then
briefly discussed at the summit too.
The idea, we have gathered, is to have a space where the community could
write
technical posts about OpenStack. The idea is not to have an aggregator
(that's
what our planet[1] is for) but a place to write original and curated
content.
During the conversation, we argued about what kind of content would be
acceptable for this platform. Here are some ideas of things we could
have there:
- Posts that are dev-oriented (e.g: new functions on an oslo lib)
- Posts that facilitate upstream development (e.g: My awesome dev setup)
- Deep dive into libvirt internals
- ideas?
As Chris Dent pointed out on that conversation, we should avoid making this
place a replacement for things that would otherwise go on the mailing
list -
activity reports, for example. Having dev news in this platform, we would
overlap with things that go already on the mailing list and, arguably,
we would
be defeating the purpose of the platform. But, there might be room for
both(?)
Ultimately, we should avoid topics promoting new features in services as
that's what
superuser[2] is for.
So, what are your thoughts about this? What kind of content would you
rather
have posted here? Do you like the idea at all?
Yes, I like it :)
I want a place that is like http://blog.kubernetes.io/
With say an editor that solicits (and backlogs topics and stories and
such) various developers/architects at various companies and creates a
actually human curated place for developers and technology and
architecture to be spot-lighted.
To me personal blogs can be used for this, sure, but that sort of misses
the point of having a place that is targeted for this (and no I don't
really care about finding and subscribing to 100+ random joe blogs that
I will never look at more than once). Ideally that place would not
become `elitist` as some others have mentioned in this thread (ie, don't
pick an elitist editor? lol).
The big desire for me is to actually have a editor (a person or people)
involved that is keeping such a blog going and editing it and curating
it and ensuring it gets found in google searches and is *developer*
focused...
