GSoC 2016 Student Blog URLs

All accepted GSoC 2016 students are required to post at least one blog entry every week during GSoC. Start now so you get in the habit of writing a post every week!

You don’t have to create a new blog for GSoC; it’s even better to use an existing one, if you have something appropriate already. You can use any traditional blog service that you wish, or you can host your own. I strongly encourage you to create a category or tag for your OpenMRS posts. Just make sure it has an RSS feed available that can show your OpenMRS/GSoC posts.

Some free-of-charge ideas for blogging platforms, if you don’t have one yet:

  • OpenMRS Blogs, powered by WordPress (preferred)
  • Wordpress (open source/PHP, self-hosted or hosted)
  • Ghost (open source/Node.js, self-hosted or hosted)
  • Blogger (proprietary/hosted)
  • Jekyll (open source/Ruby, self-hosted or GitHub hosted)
  • Hexo (open source/Node.js, self-hosted or GitHub hosted)

Please reply to this thread with your blog URL. This task is due by the end of Friday, 6 May 2016.

I would strongly recommend you all not make a blog solely for GSoC and instead make one that you will continue to use beyond GSoC! I see a lot of you making blogs solely for GSoC and this is not intent we had in making you make a blog. We want you to continue blogging after GSoC.

If you made your blog already and it has 2016 in the url, – change it now to something that will be permanent. @ch3ck you’re among this list. Consider it ;).

I strongly agree with the comment from @r0bby. Especially as a student, a blog for all your open source development work & other related tech topics will really help to improve your “portfolio” and the online presence you have for potential employers.

Finally having finally worked on my personal website for over 2 weeks, it’s up and ready with my integrated blog. Here it is: http://blog.shreyans-sheth.me. (I’ve had to change this a couple of time but now it’s done. Few problems with the jekyll theme)

Do review the site as well and tell me what you think! Cheers :smiley:

PS: I finally shifted to jekyll (which is awesome), integrated Disqus comments and got the RSS running. @michael all done!
