How to contribute a technical article?

[kzaitsev]

Hi, I would like to start contributing to the community as a content creator in the technical aspects of Google Cloud.

How could I post something to a place such as this https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/developers-practitioners?hl=en? What topics should I choose? Where could I find the guidelines on blogging with GDC?

Thank you.

Hi @kzaitsev, thanks for your question! We'd love to see what you have to share, as I'm sure other cloud users/community members will benefit. 

A great place to start sharing your content is here - in the Community! Depending on the topic you're covering, one of the Cloud Forums is likely the best place to share. For example, if you want to share a how-to guide with best practices on loading data into BigQuery, you'd post this in the Data Analytics forum using the label, BigQuery. Or as another example, if you want to share lessons learned from studying for the Cloud Security Engineer certification, you can share that here in the Learning Forum with the label, Professional Certification.

Ideas for content/topics to contribute: 

• 🌟Recommended: Provide and expand on a question/answer from the Cloud Forums. Use the "Unanswered topics" filter to see only those topics that have not yet received a response.
  
• Document your approach to a problem using Google Cloud solutions, including lessons learned and best practices
• Summarize your key takeaways from a recent event, video, whitepaper, etc. 

Once you publish, please @tag me into the post or share with me directly - I'd love to see what you come up with and if there are other areas in the Google Cloud ecosystem that we can reshare/cross-promote your content. Thank you! 🙌
