This is a tool built with the intent to provide permanent links for OpenJS project meetings, no matter what the real join links are.

This project works like this:

• Meetings are added to ./template/meetings.json. All properties are required: name, filename, and link.
  • Name is the group name.
  • Filename is the name of the slug for any given meeting.
  • Link is the link that end-users will be redirected to.
• The builder (index.js) should be run, either directly with node index.js or with npm run build.
• Once run, the builder will spit out pages based off of the ./template/meetings.json file and the ./template/template.html file, consistently replacing the necessary information for each entry.
• These pages can/should be deployed to a place where they can be accessed online.
  • GitHub Pages is the simplest solution, since the repository settings for Pages can be pointed to the ./docs directory and a nice and clean URL will be provided or can easily be CNAMEed.

To add a meeting, you'll need to submit a PR adding a section to the entries property of ./template/meetings.json. Here's the raw property you'll need to add:

    {
      "name": "group name here",
      "filename": "url-friendly-version-of-group-name-or-abbreviation-here",
      "link": "meeting url here"
    }

A finished example:

    {
      "name": "Cross Project Council",
      "filename": "cpc",
      "link": "https://zoom.us/j/920010234"
    }

To update an existing meeting, please feel free to submit a PR to any of the entries. Including a reference to where/why you're updating it would be ideal so the maintainers of the repo can merge swiftly without needing to ask for additional context.

This tooling was 100% inspired by David Guttman (@davidguttman) and the tool he built that does this for the Node.js Mentorship Initiative.
