It would be cool if you could upload photos directly from your phone directly to the meetup from nescala.org. just something to think about

Some people are too lazy to upload a member profile photo. I'm just using the default Meetup one right now for members without an avatar. Think about showing something more Scala-y instead

here's what I've figured out so far:

I know that if I need to authorize with Meetup, I do it by first browsing to localhost:8080/login.

Using the auth key in the meetup.properties file @softprops gave me, I am able to use Redis Desktop Manager to browse the database and see that some proposals have a slides key with a URL. I see from looking at nyc2014/templates.scala that I need to add a similar video key.

Not sure how the values for the slides key actually got in the database — did @softprops simply insert them manually? I'd hoped I could just add the key in RDM, but RDM isn't letting me change the values or add new keys. Not sure whether the app simply doesn't support editing (I found one online claim that it does, but failed to locate any instructions), or whether I'm somehow not authorized properly.

In nyc2014/proposals.scala I see setSlides and setVideo methods that appear to write to the database. However, neither of them is called anywhere, unless it's via some reflection magic I'm unfamiliar with. Not sure if this is live code or not.

In the same source file, I see val editing: ... which appears to support editing of proposals via the web interface. But I don't know what URL to put in my address bar to make this UI appear (and I'm not even sure if anyone other than the original proposer can edit their proposal, and if they can, if slides and video fields will even appear).

Also not totally clear to me whether the code to display the video links is actually ready to go and is just waiting for the right keys/values to appear in the database, or whether further changes akin to those already made for slides in 741ad8f are necessary.

Doug, can you get me unstuck...?

Folks,

This is probably easy to fix - I get a compile error

ExampleSpec.scala:11: error: not found: type App
[INFO] def setup = { _.filter(new App) }

Any ideas, thanks a bunch

because it's slooowww

so I can submit pull requests simply by branching, without having to fork the repo

just make it one. also change proposals to panel for the panel form

the font is embedded in the svg ( base64 encoded ). Safari may not like that. Maybe just export as a png and use that?

I wanted to preview some changes I made before sending them as a pull request, but sbt run gave:

some missing config file, I guess?

http://redislabs.com/pricing 24MB for free redistogo is 20mb $7/mon.

sounds like a better deal!

atm I cache meetup member info per event for all time which makes it impossible for someone to get their twitter info or photo updated without manual work. Let's fix this.

I must be doing something wrong here the number doesn't seem to be the same as reflected on meetup?

"This year's symposium will be held @ Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences."

should differentiate day 1 and day 2.

it's nbd in the sense that I doubt anyone will be confused, but I'm interesting in actively combating any possible perception that the "real" symposium is day 1 and day 2 is just a bonus offshoot. I think both days are equally important.

If #25 were addressed, I would take this one on myself, but right now I don't feel confident doing it unless I can preview the results.

otherwise newlines don't render

for the love of code that code is so old. we can probably just remove it now

I just proposed a panel, but it's not showing up in http://nescala.org/2012/talks.
Is there any place it's exposed?
