Cómo agregarme

Para ser parte de este portal tú tienes que hacer un fork de este proyecto, agregarte a la carpeta Authors como una clase, implementar la interfaz IAmACommunityMember. Si estás haciendo esto a través del editor de GitHub, no te olvides de agregar la clase al archivo .csproj.

El resultado debería verse algo así:

public class WilsonVargas : IAmACommunityMember
{
    public string FirstName => "Wilson";
    public string LastName => "Vargas";
    public string ShortBioOrTagLine => "al parecer es un zombie";
    public string StateOrRegion => "Trujillo, Peru";
    public string EmailAddress => "wilsonvargas@developermodeon.com";
    public string TwitterHandle => "wilsonvargas_m";
    public string GravatarHash => "3544142bb4e";
    public string GitHubHandle => "wilsonvargas";
    public GeoPosition Position => new GeoPosition(47.643417, -122.126083);
    public Uri WebSite => new Uri("https://blog.wilsonvargas.com");
    public IEnumerable<Uri> FeedUris { get { yield return new Uri("https://blog.wilsonvargas.com/rss/"); } }
}

A few things:

• Name the class after your first and lastname with PascalCase
• The FirstName and LastName property should resemble that same name
• ShortBioOrTagLine property can be whatever you like. If you can't think of anything choose: 'software engineer' or 'software engineer at Microsoft'. Please keep it short, like a 140 character tweet.
• StateOrRegion will be your geographical location, i.e.: Holland, New York, etc.
• EmailAddress, TwitterHandle and GitHubHandle should be pretty clear, TwitterHandle without the leading @
• Position is your latitude and longitude, this allows you to be placed on the map on the Authors page
• The Website property can be your global website or whatever you want people to look at
• With FeedUris you can supply one or more URIs which resemble your blogs. Your blogs should be provided in RSS (Atom) format and of course be about Xamarin.
• And finally FeedLanguageCode specifies in what lanuage the majority of your content will be. This is used to be able to apply filters to the feed. This language code should be in ISO 639-1 format
• If you do not want your e-mailaddress publicly available but you do want to show your Gravatar go to https://en.gravatar.com/site/check/ and get your hash! If you don't fill the hash, you will be viewed as a silhouette.

If you also do some blogging about other stuff, no worries! You're fine! Just have a look at the next section on how to filter out your Xamarin specific posts.

Just Xamarin please

Per default PlanetXamarin implements a default filter looking for Xamarin in the title and categories (tags) you have on your blog posts. This behavior can be modified by implementing IFilterMyBlogPosts, where you can implement your own filtering logic. It could be that you want to disable all filtering because your blog is solely about Xamarin. Maybe, you run a Xamarin newsletter or podcast.

public class BruceWayne : IAmACommunityMember, IFilterMyBlogPosts
{
    // ... Author properties from the above class, removed for brevity

    public bool Filter(SyndicationItem item)
    {
        // Here you filter out the given item by the criteria you want, i.e.
        // this filters out posts that do not have Xamarin in the title
        return item.Title.Text.ToLowerInvariant().Contains("xamarin");
        
        // This filters out only the posts that have the "xamarin" category
        // Not all blog posts have categories, please guard against this
        return item.Categories?.Any(c => c.Name.ToLowerInvariant().Equals("xamarin")) ?? false;
        
        // Of course you can make the checks as complicated as you want and combine some stuff
        return item.Title.Text.ToLowerInvariant().Contains("xamarin") && (item.Categories?.Any(c => c.Name.ToLowerInvariant().Equals("xamarin")) ?? false);
    }
}
