If you are a SymPy contributor you can have your blog on Planet SymPy. Blog content can be SymPy/SymEngine/SciPy/Python themed, English language and not liable to offend. If you have a general blog you may want to set up a tag and subscribe the feed for that tag only to Planet SymPy.

Planet SymPy is kept in GitHub, here. If you have an account you can add or edit your own feed:

• git clone git@github.com:sympy/planet-sympy.git
• Put your hackergotchi in website/hackergotchi/. A hackergotchi should be a photo of your face smaller than 80x80 pixels with a transparent background. git add the file.
• At the end of the planetsympy/config file add your details (the name in brackets is your GitHub handle):

feed 15m http://sumith1896.github.io/feeds/feed.sympy.xml
        define_name Sumith (sumith1896)
        define_face hackergotchi/sumith1896.png
        define_facewidth 80
        define_faceheight 80
                        

• git commit -a; git push
• Send in a PR ;)

If you do not have a GitHub account, file an issue in the issue tracker listing your name, GitHub account (if you have one), RSS or Atom feed. Attach a photo of your face for hackergotchi.

Planet SymPy Guidelines

Planet SymPy is one of the public faces of the SymPy project and is read by many users and potential contributors. The content aggregated at Planet SymPy is the opinions of its authors, but the sum of that content gives an impression of the project. Please keep in mind the following guidelines for your blog content and read the SymPy Code of Conduct. The SymPy project reserves the right to remove an inappropriate blog from the Planet.

Blogs should be SymPy themed

The majority of content in your blog should be about SymPy and your work on SymPy. The blog can also be about anything that interests SymPy community, for example, scientific computing, language syntax and semantics, etc. Blog posts about personal subjects are also encouraged since Planet SymPy is a chance to learn more about the developers behind SymPy. However blog feeds should not be entirely personal, if in doubt set up a tag for Planet SymPy and subscribe the feed from that tag so you can control what gets posted.

Posts should be constructive

Posts can be positive and promote SymPy, they can be constructive and lay out issues which need to be addressed, but blog feeds should not contain useless, destructive and negative material. Constructive criticism is welcome and the occasional rant is understandable, but a feed where every post is critical and negative is unsuitable. This helps to keep SymPy overall a happy project.

You must be a SymPy contributor

Only have your blog on Planet SymPy if you actively contribute to SymPy, for example through code, user support, documentation etc.

It must be a personal blog, or in a blog class

Planet SymPy is a collection of blogs from SymPy contributors.

Do not inflame

SymPy covers a wide variety of people and cultures. Profanities, prejudice, lewd comments and content likely to offend are to be avoided. Do not make personal attacks or attacks against other projects on your blog.

For further guidance on good practice see the SymPy Code of Conduct.
