How to contribute

For events.ccc.de, we use hugo, a static site generator. Blog posts are created as markdown documents. If you want to create your own post for events.ccc.de please use the template below. The so called frontmatter defines metadata for your post, such as title, publish date, header image, category and tags. If you are unsure about a suitable category or tags, or any other field just ask us, we are happy to help. Please provide a header image for your post. It should be at minimum 678 pixel wide and in landscape format. Your image should not exceed 500kb.

Optionally, you can provide us with a 512x512 pixel image for the “upcoming event” section on the top right of the blog.

Send you blogpost, header image and optionally the upcoming events image to blog@events.ccc.de.
