Hi Team, as you may remember we decided on having a blog for DebConf6, where organizers can post entries during DebConf (including DebCamp), which gets added to Planet Debian on 6th May, to annoy^Wshow all those not attending what they miss.
This is now working and a first blog post is there. It is *not* yet
added to Planet Debian.
The blog is intended to be used by all organizers that want to, and
should contain whatever interesting information or just funny incidences
that affect DebConf/DebCamp. Basically everything related to the event,
except if it's very personal, then use your own blog.[1]
If you want to link to some images you can put them up on
media.debconf.org and link to them, thats what that side is for.
Lets add a little "Howto blog there":
- Files need to be textfiles only. Name them like you want, but let it
end with .txt
- Add those files to the svn, debconf6-data in the blog/ subdir. They
will get updated every 5 minutes, so it may take this time until your
blog post appears.
- Images should be put onto media.debconf.org. That means you should put
them into svn, debconf6-data in the website/media/dc6 folder. Thats
also updated every 5 minutes.
- The content of the textfile for a blog entry is easy:
* The *VERY FIRST* line is the heading of the entry
* The second line starts with meta-author: followed by your name, eg:
meta-author: Joerg Jaspert
Do *not* leave that out or the head line of the blog will have an
empty "Posted by" section. This is there so people can see who of
us has fun. :)
* All the following lines are body of your post. Blank lines between
paragraphs get our blosxom to enter <p></p> around them, so you
dont need to add those codes or <br/> for space between them.
You are free to use html tags as you prefer, like <img...> or <a
href=...>, just be careful that you close things like <b> or the
whole blog (and later planet) will turn into a ugly bold thing.
- Wait those 5 minutes and *check* if your blog entry really looks like
you want it on http://debconf6.debconf.org/blog - if not fix it.
- Except for fixes from the previous point - do not edit files
later. Little spelling errors arent that important, but the posts get
sorted by the last modified date, so if you edit an old post - it will
show up as new again, which we do not want.
- Don't create subfolders in the blog/ dir, that wont work.
For an example blog entry you can look into the debconf6-data subdir
blog/, where I placed an initial entry.
[1] Well, you can always use your own blog of course, noone can force
you to use this one. But IMO it makes a nice thing when we all enter
some stuff here.
