Hack For LA website must launch redesign by summit

[ExperimentsInHonesty]

Who's Here?

• Bonnie
• Nina

What did we do?

Discussed the need for the HackForLA website to get completed before the summit.

What are the current challenges

• Lack of time for Tech Team lead to review and comment on Pull Requests.
• New format, means Tech lead is creating rules and structure as we go, which involves some rework.
• Coding teams’s lack of familiarity with the gh-pages/Jekyll/Liquid standards (Tech Lead is familiar).
• Coding team's relative inexperience. Requires mentorship from Tech Lead.

The tasks that remain to get the website launched

I would add two points here.

1. We should establish a timeline to ensure task are handled timely and the site is live before the summit.
2. I suggest we merge all the pull requests to have a working copy of the "completed" work. This would allow for the following;

• Everyone would be able to see the full state of the site.
• A full review of open issues or possible refactors can begin
• Helps catch early issues
• Can better distribute open tasks with current volunteers

Document additions could include:
Current working schedule
List of team members
Availability of team members to current working schedule (some people available on Mondays and some on Tuesdays), and additional time they may be available (such as if we do an all day push).

Resources available to help team finish site:
Space options:
Bonnie's house in Playa Vista (can accommodate 8 people working).
LACI DTLA we can book a room.
Potential other locations
Bonnie's Zoom meeting account so we can meet remotely.

All the related open PRs have been approved. New issues from the task list above have been added directly to the hfla website repository.

I'm closing since we made the cut over, and did it before Summit!
