pdxruby.github.io's Introduction

Cat Herder (source code to pdxruby.org)

This application was written way back in late 2005 at a group hackfest hosted 
by the Portland Ruby Brigade. We wanted a way to propose and RSVP for events
without requiring any particular person or group to manage a calendar for 
everyone else. 

Anyone can register for an account, propose an event, and sign up to attend 
other people's events. There is also some basic support for aggregation of
members' RSS feeds, and feedback from event participants, but the primary use
of the system is still as a simple event calendar.

The file doc/TODO contains a few miscellaneous items we've thought about 
changing over the years, but overall this whole codebase is probably of more
interest as a historical oddity than as a useful application for other people
to use. It uses a mish-mash of APIs, coding styles, and tests contributed by
about a dozen different maintainers over the last three years, and certainly 
shows its age when compared to a shiny new legacy-free Rails 2 application.

pdxruby.github.io's Issues

Logo distorts on narrow view ports

support editing in github editor as well as prose

It's more familiar for most people, and is simpler since it doesn't have CMS-type features. Let's support both!

pdxruby.org domain

Hello!

Stumptown Syndicate currently holds the domain registration for pdxruby.org, but none of the pdxruby folks who used to be on the board there (me, @kcomandich, @aeschright) are still on the board. The domain expires in 60 days and it probably makes sense to transfer that registration to someone who's still actively involved in managing the site.

Is there a consensus on who that might be?

(I'm willing to be that person if nobody else is, if we can get sponsorship/contributions to cover the renewals.)

Pull in archive of old site

Let's pull http://pdxruby.org/old/ under this site too.

remove CONDUCT in preference to codeofconduct.md?

Preserving URLs and all that.

posts index and rss feed

If date-oriented "posts" are introduced (eg event postings), we'll want to restore this markup feed link:

  <ul class="post-list">
    {% for post in site.posts %}
      <li>
        <span class="post-meta">{{ post.date | date: "%b %-d, %Y" }}</span>

        <h2>
          <a class="post-link" href="{{ post.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}">{{ post.title }}</a>
        </h2>
      </li>
    {% endfor %}
  </ul>
  <p class="rss-subscribe">subscribe <a href="{{ "/feed.xml" | prepend: site.baseurl }}">via RSS</a></p>

It was in index.html.

Create a vertical variant of the PDX.rb logo and place on sidebar

Maybe create a vertical variant of the PDX.rb logo

Serve over SSL

Would be great to front this with Cloudflare or some other service that would force https

https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/blog/2016/02/17/how-host-your-static-site-https-github-pages-and-cloudflare/

check for broken links

Still to check:

/learn
/history
/past-meetings

Archive old site

SQL backup + zip of the web directory. Put somewhere shared. Is there a shared Dropbox folder?

Use GitHub SSL

After #69 we should switch to using GitHub to manage the cert. Docs here.

Flip DNS

Update pdxruby.org DNS to point to gh-pages.

Add file /CNAME containing pdxruby.org.
Add CNAME record pdxruby.org: pdxruby.github.io.
Remove existing record.

Add an edit link to each page, wiki-style

Except with pull requests

Who else should have access to manage DNS?

Right now it's just me in a pdxruby organization on Gandi. That's a bus factor < 2, so who else should have access? @reidab @geeksam @aeschright? Anyone else?

asset links in archive are full URLs

#4 (comment)

Problems with this:

Breaks under HTTPS
Not self-contained

Some options:

Do nothing. Github pages doesn't do HTTPS for custom domains, so once we switch to pdxruby.org, we'll be on HTTP (and the links will work then).
Change all those http://... links to //... and add cloudfront SSL termination on top of Github pages (fixes 1 but not 2)
Serve the archive under its own domain (old.pdxruby.org or something) with a redirect from the existing (/old) URL, and rewrite all those http://pdxruby.org/old/... links to /...
Update the links to /old/..., which requires they be served at that path but is otherwise self-contained.
Update the links to be relative (../css/ etc). This is the most "correct" solution, and actually can be done by a few lines of bash.

set media dir to /img to enable browse and upload
local link search (something wrong with links.jsonp)
metadata editor isn't showing title, i think some magic value is needed in _config.yml
