Blog Guidelines

From Teaching Open Source

Jump to: navigation, search

The Planet is a great way to communicate what you're doing with teaching Open Source and to easily keep up-to-date on what others are doing. The Planet feed will in turn be picked up and used in a number of very public places.

Because your blog postings will be incorporated into other content, please follow these guidelines:

  • Keep the postings relevant to Teaching Open Source. If your blog contains other content, send a tagged feed to the planet.
  • Ensure that each posting makes sense when taken out of the context of your blog and viewed on its own. If you are referring to one of your previous posts, link to it rather than refer to it as being "below" or "above".
  • Do not use profane, obscene, or rude content, or content that belittles or attacks persons or groups.
  • Do not link to profane, obscene, rude, or illegal material or to sites that knowingly violate intellectual property rights (warez).

Feeds that include posts that do not conform to these guidelines may be removed by any user by editing the Planet Feed List.
