Subject: Re: [Pycon-mobile-guide] [Guidebook] Update: Intro to Guide Building Team (PyCon)
Date: Sun, 02 Apr 2017 18:29:59 -0400
Hi all,
Thanks for the intro and the templates! I've gotten started on a few
parts of the guide this weekend. Here's what I've done so far:
- Update links, graphics, names, etc. to reflect PyCon 2017
instead of 2016.
- Set up sidebar menu sections and icons.
- Deleted old speakers, sponsors, etc.
- Got a good chunk of automation in place based on the templates Gulnaar
provided. I've uploaded *all the **speakers and sponsors*, and can
easily regenerate the entire list as it changes.
Here's what I'll be doing next:
- Getting the *schedule* import automated as well. Not expecting much
difficulty, based on the previously completed work.
- Getting *links/connections* automated (e.g. speakers to their talks).
This is new/different work but it shouldn't be hard.
- Importing *sponsor logos*. This is a little trickier because the
exported data doesn't link the files to their sponsors, but I'm
hopeful that some simple heuristics for matching by name should make
this automatable as well, meaning the entire sponsor list can be
deleted and rebuilt as needed without manual intervention.
- Getting "special pages" imported, such as the Code of Conduct. This
is very little work, just have to check the code from last year
still works.
*Ewa*, what I need from you:
- Are we in the same section of the venue as last year, and can we
therefore use the same venue map? If not, we'll need a new one.
- Has the YouTube channel for video uploads been set up? We'll want to
link to that instead of the 2016 version.
- What is the plan for Open Spaces? Blank data for them seems to be
showing up in the export, suggesting it'll be possible to register and
schedule them... but they're all empty for now.
- Similarly for Startup Row. Have the selected startups been announced?
I don't know where to get the list from.
- All the GitHub issue links I sent you earlier are still valid for this
year. However, like last year, they're not *critical*, just nice to
have extras, like showing speaker photos.
And finally, some parts I'm unsure about and which might require
manual work:
- Special events, such as the charity run. These aren't currently
showing up in the schedule, but there are few enough that they can be
updated by hand. The only risk is that if we do that, we have to be
very careful when updating the rest of the schedule automatically so
as to not overwrite them!
- Plenary sessions. These should be treated as regular events in the
schedule, but they're not in the data export.
- Likewise keynote speakers. Might just have to manually add them
as speakers.
- Any other extra guide entries, like last year's car service
discount coupon.
More info to come, likely next weekend!
Cheers,
Felix
