Currently the Dask project communicate with the general public through a few different media:
- The twitter account @dask_dev
- The blog blog.dask.org
The twitter account is available to promote information like the following:
- New releases or important features that arrive in the Dask project
- Important or interesting uses of Dask in the broader community
- Documentation, talks, blogposts, or other knowledge artifacts produced by Dask contributors in the past that remain relevant but may not be broadly known.
However, as with any communication medium we should beware of misusing the twitter account. In particular
We tend not to broadcast for-profit promotional or sales material. It is important that Dask's brand remains trusted and neutral to corporate interests.
That being said, we do not mind retweeting for-profit products if there is not a conflict of interest, and if those products are likely of value to our users. This is often a judgment call. We endeavor to remove conflicts of interest from those making these judgements.
We tend not to over-broadcast, out of respect for those that subscribe.
TODO
We need to publish instructions on how external folks can get content retweeted.
The Dask blog is published at blog.dask.org/ with an Atom feed at blog.dask.org/atom.xml.
Content resides at github.com/dask/dask-blog and anyone can contribute content by submitting a pull request with markdown or HTML to that repository (markdown preferred).
In particular we highly encourage Dask users to contribute stories of how they have used Dask to solve interesting problems.
