Hey everyone!
Maybe would be good to create a blog and motivate the authors of the packages inside PyOpenSci to post a blog post about their package.
any thoughts?

@xmnlab i LOVE this idea. icould EASILY create a blog link on our website like today. would you be open to coralling folks to actually write the posts??? or would YOU want to write something?
hey @lwasser
I was thinking more about number 1 … I can contact people and ask if they could contribute with a blog post about their package.
about write something … I don’t have anything in mind, but if you have any suggestions I can try.

@xmnlabif you can get folks to write blogs that submitted packages, i’d love that.
i’ll go ahead and will setup a blog page on our website once we have something submitted. thank you SO MUCH. what a great idea. so perhaps either @cosmicBboy or @marskar or BOTH might want to write a blog about their experience iwth pyopensci or whatever they want to write related to open source software really. please contact folks!!

that would be great! I will do it thanks!
@lwasser I started an initial guideline for the blog post. could you review that before I share that?

thank you @xmnlab this is so great. let me add the yaml header to your doc and then we can add it as a readme to the blog directory of our website?? i think we will add blogs into _posts on the website. it should be fast for me to add i just have had a busy week. but i’ll do my best to have this done by our meeting on thursday!! And then @cosmicBboy can start to write!!
Ivan, are you game to discuss the blog in our meeting on thursday (Assuming you are able to attend ofcourse!)

wonderful!! ok i’ll put this on the agenda and i’ll make sure that we get to it a bit later in our meeting!! much appreciated, Ivan!!
@lwasser so our initial guideline is ready to be shared? should we store that into the governance repo?

hey @xmnlab i’m sorry i didn’t reply here!! the governance repo would be a great place for the guidelines to be shraed. i also realized with the pandera blog that the blog file name needs to start with a date. We can automagically sync hackmd with the governance repo too to allow us to udpate the hackmd and push it up to github?? does that work for you?
i also wanted to show you this – the analytics show that a BUNCH of people came to the site after @cosmicBboy 's blog was posted and advertised!! what a great idea. looking forward to more blog posts maybe one by @NickleDave ??! and i could do one on earthpy as well potentially. maybe after agu tho.
excellent idea!
