Purpose
Setup a simple web site, with an easy to remember URL: http://sophia.events, and acting as a hub which lists the incoming technical events in Sophia-Antipolis.
The rational
A lot of great stuff is happening in Sophia:
- meetups
- events from TelecomValley
- events from RivieraJug
- ...
... but it's not always easy to follow all the sources.
Some people ask about a place that lists them all... here is a simple attempt that tries to answer this need.
Want to help making this website look better ? :)
Fell free to modify it and to submit a PR.
Clone de repository
$ git clone https://github.com/lucj/sophia.events.git && cd sophia.events
Run stack
This assumes you have Docker / Docker Compose installed on your machine
$ docker-compose up -d
A web server is run in a Docker container available on port 8000.
Modify the files
Fell free to modify the css / html.
Once you'r happy with your changes you can report the modifications of the html in the template/index.mustache file.
