Blog carnival for Information/Data Quality Bloggers
The International Association for Information and Data Quality (IAIDQ) is celebrating its five year anniversary by hosting:
"El Festival del IDQ Bloggers – A Blog Carnival for Information/Data Quality Bloggers".
This offers a great opportunity for data quality bloggers to get their writing noticed and to connect with other bloggers around the world, read on for details.
So what is a blog carnival?
A blog carnival is a collection of posts from different blogs on a specific theme that are published across a series of issues.
Anyone can submit a data quality blog post and experience the benefits of extra traffic, networking with other bloggers and discovering interesting posts.
It doesn't matter what type of blog you have as long as the submitted post has a data quality theme.
El Festival del IDQ Bloggers will run monthly issues from April through November 2009.
Rules of Submission
- Post about data quality on your blog during the month of the current issue. Please do not submit older posts. We want recent material for each issue.
- Email your submission to: blogcarnival@iaidq.org – your email should include:
