Disclaimer
This is a personal blog. The opinions expressed here are my own and do not in any way represent the official opinions of my employer.
Commenting
To provide feedback on any post, you have two options:
-
You can use Twitter to simply reply to the tweet announcing the blog post, which is displayed at the end of each post.
-
If you don’t wish to use a tweet for your comment, or if your comment is too long, you can comment on the post at metamodel.blog website. You will need to authenticate using a Google or Facebook account to do that. (Anonymous comments are disabled to prevent spam.)
Contrarian opinions are welcome, if expressed politely and supported with some evidence. Misleading and offensive comments will be deleted and repeat offenders will be blocked.
Guest posts
Guest posts on modeling-related issues are welcome. Please email r@saravanan.us
You are also welcome to propose a guest post if you disagree with a blog post, and the comment section is too limiting to express that.
Rights
Posts in this blog may be reproduced in their entirety, without modification, under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND). If reproduced online, the attribution should include a link to the original post.
Original graphics created specifically for this blog may be reused, without modification, under the Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-ND).

Privacy
This blog uses Hugo, a static website generator, and Remark42 for comment handling. Both are open source products and are hosted on a dedicated server for this blog.
If you are just reading the blog, no personally identifiable information is collected by the static website. There are no ads or affiliate links. There is embedded Google Analytics code that aggregates generic usage statistics.
To append a comment to a blog post, you will need to login with a social account (Google/Facebook). The user’s name is used to label the comment. Your name is not used for any purpose other than the authentication for commenting, and no other information about your account is collected. In particular, the commenting information is not shared with Google Analytics. (The comment handling software, Remark42, runs in a separate docker container and is unaware of the Google Analytics code in the static web site.)
