How to participate
- Eligible projects can submit blog posts through the CNCF contributor marketing-services process; the page also identifies the CNCF blog, Kubernetes blog, and monthly CNCF newsletter as distribution surfaces.
- Check the channel's current eligibility, audience rules, and content or listing requirements.
- Track qualified visits, sign-ups, or partner-sourced pipeline with a channel-specific measure.
Rules and practical details
- This is not a general startup PR channel: eligibility and editorial fit depend on CNCF/project status and content must not be a vendor pitch.
- Primary eligibility is for graduated and incubating projects; an exception described on the page allows a member to share a blog about any open-source project. Posts must be broadly applicable and not vendor pitches.
