This is the website of the Python sprints group.
It was started by the London Python Sprints meetup, but open to any other Python User Group (PUG), interested in running sprints.
The website is built using Jekyll, a Ruby (yes, Ruby ;) static website generator supported by GitHub pages. To build the website locally you need to:
- Install ruby and ruby-dev
dnf install ruby ruby-develon Fedora, CentOS and RedHatapt-get install ruby-full ruby-devon Debian and Ubuntubrew install rubyon MacOS- More information about installing Ruby is here https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/.
- Install Jekyll with
gem install jekyll bundle. - Install dependencies with
bundle installin the project directory. - Run the server with
bundle exec jekyll serve. - Open the rendered website at http://localhost:4000/
Send a pull request adding a new file _chapters/<your-chapter-name>.md, where
<your-chapter-name> is the name of your chapter in ascii lowercase, and
separating words with underscore (e.g. london_pyton_sprints).
The content of the file should list:
- object_id: same as the name of the file, as described before (without the extension)
- title: name of your chapter (using normal text)
- website_link: link to your website
- address: name of the city, country... or anything relevant so users understand where you are based
- lnt and lng: latitude and longitude used to display a marker for your chapter in a map
- Posts (files in
_posts/*.md) are the event pages in markdown - Projects (
_project/*.md) are the open source projects we contribut to - Sponsors (`_sponsors/*.md) are the companies providing the venue and pizzas
- Layouts (files in
_layouts/*.html) are equivalent to Django templates, and used to render the posts (events) - CSS is managed with scss/sass and built by Jekyll
- GitHub pages automatically builds the site when the repository is updated
