The Fourth Annual C# Advent
This year's Advent is going to be a little different that the Advents in 2019, 2018, and 2017.
This year, the C# Advent has its very own site!
Not only that, but the process is more automated this year. Gone are the days of me having to maintain an Excel spreadsheet.
Step 1:
Go to www.csadvent.christmas. Find an open spot in the Advent, and click to claim it. You will need to login with GitHub. There are two spots every day, for a total of 50 spots.
Step 2:
Fill out the request form. You'll need a name and email at least. You can also supply a URL for the link for your name (e.g. if people click "Matthew Groves", I want it to go to my Twitter). You can also add an optional comment. Only the Name and URL will appear publicly! Click submit.
Step 3:
You should get a confirmation email. I will get an email too, so I can go in and approve your request (approval is a necessary, because there could be a date conflict, or there could be spammers, etc).
Step 4:
When approved, you will get another email. Approval should be pretty quick if I'm awake (I'm in the eastern US time zone).
Step 5:
Create your content. Don't publish it until the day you selected. Make sure to link back to www.csadvent.christmas. At any point, you can login to the Contributors Area to supply a link and title of your content.
You do NOT have to do this until the day you picked. However! You will receive an automated email reminder 2 days ahead of time.
Step 6:
When it's your day, tell everyone about your article and the C# Advent! Tweet them! Submit others to Reddit! Facebook! LinkedIn! Whatever else! Let's show the world how great the C# community is! Please use the #csadvent hash tag when applicable.
Thank you! Looking forward to another great Advent in 2020.
