My co facilitator and me have no twitter name, therefore the names are not separates visually.

Custom Plugins are disabled on GitHub Pages. (/cc @amirci )

The events pages looks like this:

I'll see to fixing it.

In the answer there's "It’s recommended that you open registration on Thursday, September 22nd..." and then talk why opening registration 1 month before the event is good. I guess the above date was referring to some retreat happened in the past as with this year Sept 22nd - Nov 18th it's almost 2 months.

Should the text be rephrased to something like "It’s recommended that you open registration one month before the event:"?

Or maybe put the date of the GDCR in a config yml in _data and then use it in hero.html (all other places referring to GDCR date if any) and do some magic with Jekyll in order to calculate the date to suggest for opening registrations?

A event should have not just empty strings for the mandatory properties. We should add a minimum length of 1 to fields like name, URL, city, country and such.

Following up on our discussion in #36, page.excerpt is the standard way (and automatically filled if you leave it blank) for displaying a short preview of a blogpost.

A simple sed should be enough, just need to make sure that the template is changed and it doesn't break things.

Right now, the Readme contains a lot of detailled information that does not appear on the /register-event page.

Merging that information into the /register-events page will make it easier for hosts to create an event, as they have all the information in one place.

We can then change the README to focus on contributions, technical details of setting up the project, and so on.

Send an email to past GDCR facilitators to remind them to register the GDCR for this year (if they want to organize one and if they didn't register already)

• find facilitators, people that have organized coderetreats in the past

Use a web crawler to capture the information of previous coderetreat.org so we can archive it

This is something where I'd like your input on @apandichi @mplavcan @amirci (in the orga channel). I only just now (when merging #158) noticed that some of the events have moderators that are not actually moderators, but companies sponsoring or hosting events.

With us getting back to the roots of coderetreats, making them about communities and individuals and not having global sponsors and such, I'd personally prefer to remove those moderators from the events.

We could, should we decide to explicitly give exposure to the companies supporting coderetreats, introduce a new field sponsors next year.

What do you think?

Figure out a way to publish the Jekyll branch to github.io

@adibolb has an excellent collection of constraints he just made publicly accessible (https://twitter.com/adibolb/status/902058609554706432). We should add it to the hosting and facilitation guides.

In the future, we could have it hosted here with more people contributing their constraints.

I will add the link to this ASAP

The platform should have a public app that allows us....

• to query the number of people in a given room
• to join a room

Update the link to Slack from

http://slack.softwarecraftsmanship.org/

to

https://softwarecrafters.slack.com

The "Continue" links on http://gdcr.coderetreat.org/blog/ point to 404

In the listing there is a column for facilitator, and for sponsor. However there are not one for the organiser, which not necessary is the same as the sponsor or facilitator. This would be nice to have!

Hi guys, I see there is an inconsistency between my local:

and the live instance of the website:

To be honest, I haven't digged into the code that much in order to pinpoint the issue, but I would like to first hear your opinion on that one (whether it is just a miss from my side or a miss in the implementation of the site itself); then, we can take it from there.

at the start page the location markers are no longer visible (to me)
using FF 54.0.1 nor IE 11.0.9600

appear.in does not provide an API to check whether a room is full, so we had to resort to providing a way increment the room number manually.

The current format of a booth is gdcr16_${timezoneStart}_-_${timezoneEnd}-${numberInTimezone}. Especially ${numberInTimezone} could use some better UX or atleast a poignant explanation.

• update the website to reflect that

http://coderetreat.org/events has several events in Istanbul at the moment, but they are not grouped together.

It would be awesome to have a quick alphabetical sort or something in the view model to visually organise same-city (or same-country) events together!

We want to make it easier to maintain the website. In order to do so, we'd like to convert all pages that don't necessarily need HTML to look decent to markdown.

We expect that this will decrease complexity when making changes to the styles and will help us stick to a general structure when writing new articles.

The blogposts should keep their overall structure, some breaking changes are fine 👍

We can do this one by one in a PR that is referencing this issue, I'll cross the posts off the list once they'r converted. Netlify will provide us with PR Previews 👍

Using new Date().getTimezoneOffset(), we could probably guess the timezone of the host visiting the tool and make an educated guess about the booth they want to join.

While most pages already look better on mobile than the landingpage 😅 , the menu is in a bad state.

A foldable menu with access to the different links (similar to how bootstrap goes about this) and a viewport setting would be great here.

The videos are hosted on XXXX

Take the list of videos and add a page to the Jekyll site for it.

Add forms on the new website: one for sponsors, one for event organizers needing sponsors. Submitting the form will send an email to us. We match them by city/country, make the introductions and then get out of the way. We let sponsors / organizers discuss and figure the rest of the process between themselves.

The only page that is using the homepage layout is the landing page, for no bigger benefit. It would be great to reduce complexity by merging this into the default layout page.

post is already using that one, so it proved itself quite good already.

Should also help with #37 as it pays into consolidating the different styles used throughout the page.

The SVG on our landing page has been broken for some time now. The problematic files are this one and this one

Easiest way is to just remove all the flags, a creative solution (without specific country flags) would be nice too.

August 7th ?

RIght now, the website looks rather bad on mobile. Any quick fixes to improve readability on mobile, even if they mean removing a lot of visuals, are appreciated 👍

Add new logo
Perhaps deprecate older branding

Currently it is possible to add a sponsor to the event in the json-file, which then shows up in the listing of all GDCR events. The field is however not present in the JSON generator at the "Register a coderetreat" info page.

Suggestion is to add a sponsor-field.

Also, if #215 gets done, add host/organizer to the generator.
