DjangoCon US 2016 is built on top of Pinax Symposion and PinaxCon. With our changes, your mileage may vary.

As a contributor, you can help us keep the Django community open and inclusive. Please read and follow our Code of Conduct.

Make sure you are using a virtual environment of some sort (e.g. virtualenv or pyenv).

Create a database (defaults to Postgres):

$ createdb djangocon2016

Install requirements:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a local settings file and set your DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to use it:

$ cp djangocon/settings/local.py.example djangocon/settings/local.py

$ export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=djangocon.settings.local

Sync models to database:

$ ./manage.py migrate

Load default fixtures into database:

$ ./manage.py loaddata fixtures/*

Create a superuser account to access the admin:

$ ./manage.py createsuperuser

Start the web server:

$ ./manage.py runserver

The static file compilation is done with Node dependencies. On a Mac install node via Homebrew:

$ brew install node

Install all node dev dependencies:

$ npm install

To compile all static files simply run:

$ make all

You can watch for changes of CSS and JS files and have them re-compiled on-the-fly. Run each command in a separate shell.

$ make js watch=1
$ make css watch=1

• All client/browser related files are stored in client/.
• Static files which don't need processing are in client/assets.
• CSS and JS are compiled into the build/ folder using a make command.
• Django's collectstatic takes everything from the build/ folder plus the "classic" application static files and puts them in <venv>/var/static/. This is also the folder we serve with the webserver.

For CSS we use a factory of: Node-Sass for CSS compilation + autoprefixer.

For JS we use browserify to collect all dependencies, from client/js as well as from the node_modules into one file. We transform that with Babel from ES6 to ES5 for compatibility reasons. We compress that with uglify.
