Contribution, Committing Content (Google Docs Method)

TDC Contribution Guide - Committing Content to be Published

After your content piece has been drafted, edited, and tested locally, it's time to commit your content and open a pull request back to the Tanzu Developer Center GitHub repository.

I need a checklist to ensure my content is ready to submit to the Tanzu Developer Center

We have a reference page for that. See the Contributing Checklist (Google Docs Method)

I need to submit my content to be published on the Tanzu Developer Center

1. Submit your content via out Google Form. This form will ask you a handful of questions which, if you have gone through the above checklist you should be ready to answer.

2. Here's what to expect next. Once you submit the Google Form, a few things are going to happen:

   1. Someone may reach out to you with clarifying questions - Typically within the next day, someone on the Tanzu Developer Center team will reach out to you with questions, or at least to let you know they received your submission and are working on it, or laying out a plan for timing. If somehow things slip through the cracks, feel free to ping the team in the #tanzu-developer-center Slack channel (VMware Employees Only), and make sure someone has seen your submission.
   2. A team review - Someone from the team will review your content to ensure everything looks okay and the content is a good fit for the Tanzu Developer Center. Here there may be some back-and-forth between the author and the team regarding changes.
   3. A deployment preview will be sent to you - Once the content in the Google Doc is agreed upon and ready, a preview link will be sent to you where your content is staged in its final format. If you are creating an Author page too, this will also be part of the preview provided. Review this closely and let the team know if there needs to be changes, or if the content is ready to be pushed live.

3. The live link will be sent to you. At this point the content is live and social media (optional) has also been submitted. Congratulations, you are done!

I need to publish a video on to the Tanzu VMware channel.

1. Submit this form with your completed video to be published to YouTube.
2. Once this is complete, you can embed the video onto the Tanzu Developer Center.
