openUBMC Blog Contribution Guide

Want to share your knowledge with the openUBMC community? Contributing a blog post is easy. Here is how you can submit your technical content.

Preparations

Before you contribute, please complete these two quick steps:

1. Register an openUBMC account to become an official member of the community.
2. Register with the openUBMC forum and get familiar with the forum rules and community discussions.

Contribution Option 1: Forum Featured Posts

The easiest way to contribute a blog is by writing a popular post on the openUBMC forum.

• Review process: Every month, the sig-docs reviews the community forum.
• Selection criteria: They select experience-sharing posts that have high views and strong discussion. These posts become official openUBMC blogs.
• Announcement: The final list of selected blogs is announced during the monthly meeting.
• Tip: To simplify the future blog formatting, try to write your forum post using the official blog document format from the start.

Contribution Option 2: Self-Nominate to sig-docs

You can also proactively submit content directly to the sig-docs.

• Submission: Send your blog content and a short personal bio via email to docs@public.openubmc.cn.
• Response: The sig-docs will review your submission and reply within one week.
• Announcement: Accepted blogs are added to the list announced at the monthly meeting.

Understanding the Blog Format

All openUBMC blogs must be written in the Markdown format.

Your file must include the following information in the file header (metadata):
