From 14e0ef5fb8e205e2da62fdccbc84bd29f5041dc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Littauer Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2016 14:24:35 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Overhaul list The list needs an overhaul, badly. The conferences as they are aren't actually all the useful to anyone - some of these links are broken, some are old, and there's no general information on registration or CFPs. I've gone three and added a template and converted three as an example. I think that editing them and having a much fuller list would be good, for everyone. Can others tell me if this looks like the right idea? Would you be keen on helping out? Relevant to #3, #23, #34, #67, #69. --- README.md | 89 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 82 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index d92e9a9..96b2a8e 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,9 +1,8 @@ -Awesome Conferences [![Awesome](https://cdn.rawgit.com/sindresorhus/awesome/d7305f38d29fed78fa85652e3a63e154dd8e8829/media/badge.svg)](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome) -=================== +# Awesome Conferences [![Awesome](https://cdn.rawgit.com/sindresorhus/awesome/d7305f38d29fed78fa85652e3a63e154dd8e8829/media/badge.svg)](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome) -An awesome list of conferences.
