Re: [PROPOSAL] Allow Blog Posts from Community Members on Official OFBiz Blog

[Sharan Foga <sh...@apache.org>]

Hi Everyone

Thank you all very much for the feedback and support.

I completely agree with the distinction Taher made regarding the focus on  news / success stories / project and community promotion and announcements  rather than vendor promotion / forks / advertisements.

So for the next steps I will

- publish the article  I have from Pranay
- take a look at  our social media guidelines  https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Guidelines+for+Use+of+Social+Media
and update them based on this proposal (I can draft a proposed process for people to submit their content, whether it is directly to me or one of the other blog admins or by some other method)
- send out a communication to the user list announcing the change

Thanks
Sharan
