blog: OSH Experience

[paritoshsinghrahar]

Description

I want you to write a blog about the OSH experience from a newcomer's point of view for the backend repo. So that it tells your experience about open source and also may serve as an intro to backend repo for prospective contributors.

Write a blog on Medium and share the link in a document called outreach-work.md in the “/docs” folder of mentorship-backend. So you need to create a post and add a new line to this document.

Mention AnitaB.org as a publication while publishing the blog/article (called: story on medium) at the end of your blog.

@paritoshsinghrahar Do we need to use medium only for blog post or any blogging site will serve the purpose?

[SHITIZ-AGGARWAL]

@paritoshsinghrahar I would love to work on this issue since OSH helped me to make my first ever open source contribution and many more

@devkapilbansal medium only as stated in the issue and mention AnitaB.org as a publication while publishing the blog/article (called: story on medium).

[decon-harsh]

I would love to share my experience , Can you assign me too?

My blog will focus mainly about the early problems i faced and the rise in my confidence after the first PR. I would love to mention how easy is to work in OSH when maintainers are giving their best to help you.

@paritoshsinghrahar Do we need to use medium only for a blog post or any blogging site will serve the purpose?

Yes, AnitaB.org has a publication there. I'll still check with the team.

[paritoshsinghrahar]

@decon-harsh I am assigning this to you as well. Happy writing!! 😄

[decon-harsh]

Sorry , I didn't see it. Is it specifically for the mentorship back-end repo? I had worked on vms!

@paritoshsinghrahar Can I work on this???

[devkapilbansal]

Hi, @paritoshsinghrahar @isabelcosta @PrashanthPuneriya @SanketDG when I try to add to publications it shows no publication available even after I follow AnitaB.org

[devkapilbansal]

@paritoshsinghrahar Do we need to use medium only for a blog post or any blogging site will serve the purpose?

Yes, AnitaB.org has a publication there. I'll still check with the team.

Please check and let me know.

[PrashanthPuneriya]

Pinging @isabelcosta @mtreacy002. Can you please guide them since you have already written few blogs?

[SanketDG]

Hey. please feel free to post on your own Medium (I'd say avoid using Medium but it's your choice at the end of the day!) or your own blog. No need to wait for the org publication.

did you try this?

[decon-harsh]

@paritoshsinghrahar I guess to add publication one must have editor or owner level permissions.

@paritoshsinghrahar I have just mentioned this at the bottom of my blog

[devkapilbansal]

@paritoshsinghrahar I guess to add publication one must have editor or owner level permissions.

Yes, I tried to too @paritoshsinghrahar

[paritoshsinghrahar]

@decon-harsh Yes, but one can request for publication. It will help the article discovered in a better manner. And anyway blogging your experience on your page helps too.

@ashwinijha6 @devkapilbansal Oh, ok. Great.

@ashwinijha6 @devkapilbansal Oh, ok. Great.

How can I?

[ashwinijha6]

@paritoshsinghrahar just had a question mentioning the publication & tagging them to your story are the same thing right?

[paritoshsinghrahar]

@decon-harsh https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/214035868-Leave-a-note
Actually, that happened in a vice-versa manner with me. When a publication left a note on my article. I see one cannot private message the other way round.

I'll change the Issue description to not add as a publication.

[paritoshsinghrahar]

@ashwinijha6 It's fine.
