+QEMU Advent Calendar 2020 is around the corner and we are looking for                                                                                                                                                                                                     volunteers to contribute disk images that showcase something cool, bring
+back retro computing memories, or simply entertain with a puzzle or game.
+
+QEMU Advent Calendar publishes a QEMU disk image each day from
+December 1-24. Each image is a surprise designed to delight an audience
+consisting of the QEMU community and beyond. You can see previous
+years at [https://www.qemu-advent-calendar.org/](https://www.qemu-advent-calendar.org/)
+
+You can help us make this year's calendar awesome by:
+ * [Sending disk images](mailto:eldon-qemu@eldondev.com?Subject=QEMU 2020 advent disk image)
+ * Sending ideas for disk images
+
+Here are the requirements for disk images:
+ * Content must be freely redistributable (i.e. no proprietary
+   license that prevents distribution). For GPL based software,
+   you need to provide the source code, too.
+ * Provide a name and a short description of the disk image
+   (e.g. with hints on what to try)
+ * Provide a ./run shell script that prints out the name and
+   description/hints and launches QEMU
+ * Provide a 320x240 screenshot/image/logo for the website
+ * Size should be ideally under 100 MB per disk image
+   (but if some few images are bigger, that should be OK, too)
+
+Check out [this disk
+image](https://www.qemu-advent-calendar.org/2018/download/day24.tar.xz) as an
+example of how to distribute an image. Links to files over 25MB are appreciated
+in lieu of email attachments.
+
+PS: QEMU Advent Calendar is a secular calendar (not
+religious). The idea is to create a fun experience for the QEMU
+community which can be shared with everyone. You don't need
+to celebrate Christmas or another religious festival to participate!

Thanks a lot for tackling this!

I've pushed the patch to the website now, so the blog entry is now online.
