This is the website for a workshop. It was created using a template for GAP days.

It is based on Jekyll, a static website generator, and the hyde template.

If you want to test site on your own machine, first install Jekyll (as described on its website), then do this:

  git clone https://github.com/rse-standrewscs/ibans-workshop-spring-2020.git
  cd ibans-workshop-spring-2020
  jekyll serve -w

Now open a browser on http://localhost:4000/ to see a live preview of the site.

== Steps for new workshop

To create a website for a new workshop, follow roughly the following steps:

1. Copy the data of the previous workshop into a new repository. Add that repository under a suitable name at https://github.com/

2. Edit all relevant files; at the very least do the following:

   • _config.yml: update baseurl to match the name of the repository at github.
   • index.md
   • location.md
   • registration.html
     • the "registration_open" entry at the top can be used to enable / disable registration
     • Update the "form_api_token" value at the top of the file. See https://getsimpleform.com for more information. (Note that notification emails for new registrations are sent to a single email address. So I recommend setting up an address that can deliver to multiple people.)
     • Also update the "email" field at the top
     • edit the available arrival/departure date options in the form
     • edit the rest of the page suitably
   • _data/participants.yml

     • This contains the list of participants, in YAML format. Basic entries look like this:

       - name: John Doe
         affiliation: University of Nowhere
       

       Entries can be followed by links, e.g. to slides, other PDFs, etc.

       - name: John Doe
         affiliation: University of Nowhere
         links:
           "slides": http://bit.ly/gap-worksheets2015
           "photo": ../photo/john_doe.jpg
       

3. Optionally, edit program.tex, run pdflatex on it, and add the resulting PDF. Or, if you don't want to use it, just remove both the .tex and .pdf
