This is a repository for easily creating conferences. To create your own conference create a repo in your username with your confname then type.
$ git clone --bare https://github.com/sods/_confweb.git
$ cd _confweb.git
$ git push --mirror https://github.com/USERNAME/CONFNAME.git
$ cd ..
$ rm -rf _confweb.git
$ git clone https://github.com/USERNAME/CONFNAME.git
$ cd CONFNAME
$ git checkout gh-pages
Then you can clone the new website as normal.
The main settings can be found in the _config.yml file. They include conference location, name, year, days of operation.
Then a few layout files are added
_layouts/program.html
_layouts/single.html
_layouts/multi.html
_layouts/registration.html
_layouts/getting_there.html
_layouts/about.html
These dictate how the program is displayed. single.html and ```multi.html`` are for single and multiple track sessions.
There are some include files for bits of html which are need about the place.
_includes/listperson.html
_includes/listsponsor.html
_includes/listtalk.html
_includes/listmulti.html
_includes/listsingle.html
_includes/map.html
_includes/google_tracking_code.html
Then the sessions themselves are stored in the _posts directory. Each session is recorded as post in the format YYYY-MM-DD-session-name.md, and inside each session is the list of speakers and talks. See example session for details.
