revamp for new csvconf announcement
max-mapper opened this issue · comments
@danfowler feedback here is appreciated, or if you wanna tackle any of the following let me know
- should we re-use this design/template? I am ok with it personally
- change the first section, this can be where we announce the venue, location, and link to the call for proposals section
- update content/redesign the 2nd section (with the 3 round logos). this is the section that should explain the conference?
- remove the speaker list and replace it with information about the call for proposals
- we can maybe feature photos from the last one somewhere http://lanyrd.com/2014/csv-conf/coverage/ ?
- Love the design template, good to keep.
- Will update by the end of this week to the new venue, dates.
- Need to think a bit more about what this section says, but probably good to keep for now and change when we come up with something better/relevant for 2016
- I'd like to move the speaker/presentation lists to a new page (perhaps /2014/). Will replace with cfp
- Looking for photos from lanyrd, but can't find any: Flickr has these: https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=csvconf edit: this is a nice one to point to: https://imgur.com/KZmZbH5
I think it would be a cool idea to drive the site from the presentations and schedule (and maybe adding speakers) CSV files directly as Jekyll supports this: http://jekyllrb.com/docs/datafiles/
I am bit stretched with time right now, but I love to do crazy things with Jekyll and have written a few Jekyll plugins. What is pretty standard in Jekyll now is the csv or yml data files that @danfowler mentioned, and have worked with this a little bit.
I just pushed some major changes, @danfowler feel free to add/remove anything on there
@maxogden thanks, Max. I just made a few small updates.
