The DPDK blog serves as a channel for the community to broadcast to a wide audience beyond the core developers the latest news and views on the project. This may include summaries of important releases or technical decisions made, but it may also include stories about deployments, descriptions of potential uses, industry insight into how DPDK is changing business or member personal viewpoints.

We are looking for posts that teach and give value to our community. Ideally, posts range from 700 to 1,000 words. Guest posts must be vendor neutral, though it may mention vendors involved in specific deployments, or their hosting of an in-person event, or other indications of meaningful participation in the community, but it shouldn’t feel like an advertisement of your services.

Your post must be your content, not published elsewhere on the Internet. You are allowed to publish other places but AFTER 24 hours of it being published on dpdk.org. You should also link back to dpdk.org as the original source. Diagrams or photos are strongly encouraged. Be interesting and inspiring!

If the idea is accepted, you will be given the green light to write the entire post. It will be edited for grammar and any changes that have been made will be sent to the author for final approval. You will then receive a publish date, so that you can plan to promote accordingly through your personal and company’s channels. Your blog will be shared on DPDK's social media channels including Twitter & Linkedin and in our monthly emails.

Please feel free to retweet or share. Don’t forget to share your work on your own social channels and favorite news aggregator sites!
