<div dir="ltr">Hi Guys,<div><br></div><div>I thought I'd add another take on this whole Python Group Website. I am slowly building a Python group in Phoenix (where I moved to after leaving the Columbus area) and I am going to take the static site route. The allows me to host the site entirely on github. This combination has the following benefits:</div>
<div><br></div><div style>* Static sites are portable and reliable</div><div style>* Dynamic components can be added in iframes or via javascript</div><div style>* Anyone can contribute via a pull request or even a patch.</div>
<div style>* Contributors gain experience using git source control</div><div style><br></div><div style>At this point, I don't have much. Just a stub site: <a href="http://desertpy.com">http://desertpy.com</a>. I am adding a presentation site, for static HTML presentations, as well:</div>
<div style><br></div><div style><a href="http://presentations.desertpy.com/fabric-godber/">http://presentations.desertpy.com/fabric-godber/</a><br></div><div style><br></div><div style>I haven't made an index page and that presentation is not yet done. I think I will be using pelican (<a href="http://docs.getpelican.com/en/3.1.1/">http://docs.getpelican.com/en/3.1.1/</a>) for site generation.</div>
