That’s right. This site’s code is hosted on GitHub, one of the world’s leading cloud-based source code repositories. The site also runs from there.

Why GitHub?

That GitHub serves jekyll websites was a big selling point. That jekyll processes more or less standard markdown was an even bigger selling point. That I could get a dirt cheap price on DNS routing through a third party (AWS) and point it at GitHub sealed the deal.

Can I get the source code and content for your site?

Yes. I have decided to make the Jekyll code (templates, css, javascript, typescript…etc.) and folder structure that I use, open-source (MIT License). I am licensing the content under a slightly modified: Creative Commons Required Attribution Non-Commercial No-Derivatives v4.0, International License.

What are the modified terms of use/redistribution?

The slight modification is that each of my articles is considered a whole work, attributed to me.

That means you may:

  • Publish your own articles alongside mine so long as they are clearly marked as yours.
  • Change the overall structure in which the articles reside, so long as the content and attributions of each individual article remains unchanged. (e.g. Wrap the body of my content in a different theme.)

However, you may not (without my express written permission):

  • Make changes of any sort to my content.
  • Directly claim nor indirectly imply my endorsement of your use of my content.

Where can I get the code and content?

You can find the source code and content for this site at: jason-c-daniels/jason-c-daniels.net

What do I (Jason) maintain it with?

It varies over time.
