# Upstream Marketing Blog Guidelines

Blogging serves as a way to highlight and give exposure to the work that is being done by the kubernetes [community](https://github.com/kubernetes/community).

## Guidelines for contributor blogs:

* Use inclusive language understandable by everyone
* Ensure that the blog post is reviewed by the anyone being mentioned in the piece
* Stay on topic and stick to the facts
* Avoid interjecting personal reactions
* Shy away from jargon and colloquial expressions
* Revise your post before submission to make sure it’s unambiguous and accurate
* Emphasize the things you want readers to remember; tell a story
* Provide evidence and data where applicable, to back up your message
* As the author, never talk about your employer, sell, promote, or pitch; this is about upstream community endeavours and the individuals+groups that create it.
* Avoid ambiguity
* Avoid including anything that lacks adequate evidence
* Make sure to have at least one original quote and one picture
* Much of what’s outlined already in the [website blog guidelines](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/77aa44ba8a506b2d8a7110ff96f545c36db906f3/sig-docs/blog-subproject/README.md
) owned by sig-docs

## Blogger Expectations, Responsibilities, and Info

1. Active bloggers should write one blog a quarter. The time commitment is typically 5-10 hours per quarter depending on the number of blog posts in the review queue.
2. Adhere to the code of conduct, values, and principles of the project.
3. Bloggers are expected to attend at least one upstream marketing team meeting a month or check-in to remain active.
4. If you receive a request to write about a project, an individual, or a group of people from your employer, you should ask a non-partisan blogger to write it.
