2017 Website Working Group Documents
Meeting Notes
September 8, 2016
- Introductions
- Organization
- Joshua will continue to act as Chair and call meetings
- Will continue to use Google Hangouts for live meetings
- But we will not have regular meetings. Instead...
- We will use Github to track issues: https://github.com/code4lib/2017.code4lib.org/issues
- Use Slack for discussions: https://code4lib.slack.com/messages/conference-website/
- Tech stack
- We will use the same code as last year, and just change the data
- Luke gave an overview of the stack, which made use of Jekyll for static site generation and a script to convert Google Forms data.
- Timeline
- Short notice gives us less time than last year, but we are not starting from scratch so it evens out
- No details on conference date or venue yet, which actually gives us some breathing room
- Last year's team got the site up fairly quickly thanks to divide and conquer approach to site pages
- Primary tasks
- Luke will take the first ticket of stripping out the 2016 details from the repo
- Will also set up stub pages so we don't have to "evolve" pages like last year
- Eric will tackle upgrading the site to Jekyll 3.2
- Joshua will contact Shaun about handling DNS
- Joshua will contact members from last years team about handling precon (C. Harlow) and presentation (D. Lacey) data
- Luke will take the first ticket of stripping out the 2016 details from the repo
- Other notes
- We will use the same CSS and color pallette as last year for now. Will swap out background image.
