Please feel free to use social media to talk about IEEE VIS 2020. Enjoy the 2020 edition of #ieeevis.
Feel free to visit our Help page above for answers to common questions, where we also have a short tutorial on using Discord. If you are still having issues, feel free to ask in #support in Discord or e-mail web@ieeevis.org.
See the Makefile for build scripts. Generally, to run it locally, use make run.
For streaming, we have a simple shell script that copies assets from the separate ieeevisstreaming repo, which is included in a submodule. If you want to update the streaming assets, please first update that repository, then update the submodule with git submodule update --init --recursive . Then run the script scripts/copy_streaming_assets.sh, which will copy in files from that submodule and rename things/fix links. See the script opening comments for typical usage.
The IEEE VIS 2020 Virtual site was adapted from the MiniConf software by the IEEE VIS 2020 website, technology, and archive commmittees with content input from all conference committees.
MiniConf was originally built by Hendrik Strobelt and Sasha Rush; you can find the original open-source implementation on GitHub, and our fork as well (which will become public after the conclusion of the conference).
We welcome your comments about your experience and anything we can do to make your virtual experience better. Please join us in #support or #suggestions on Discord, or feel free to e-mail the committees directly.
