How to contribute to the Brainhack global 2022 website

Hugo based static website: https://gohugo.io/documentation/

Uses the wowchemy theme: https://wowchemy.com/

Based on bootstrap for the layout: https://getbootstrap.com/

Run the website locally

  1. Install hugo

See the instruction related to the operatiing system you are using on the hugo documentation.

  1. Fork and clone this repository

  2. Run the site locally

hugo server -D

Configuration

  • config options: static/admin/config.yml
  • navigation bar: config/_default/menus.toml
  • default CSS can be "overwritten" in: assets/scss/custom.scss.

Content and what to modify where

Pretty much all the content of the website is either in the data or the content folder.

  • Event location data for the map: data/locations.yaml
  • Event details: content/events
  • Contributors details: content/authors

Partners

  • new partner details should be added in data/partners.yml
  • new images for partners should be added in static/media/partners

You can toggle off the partner section by settting active = true in yml front matter of content/home/partner.md.

Projects

Projects are updated dynamically using the braintransform Python package. The package provides the transform_issues_to_pages.py script, which parses the GitHub issues in a given repository, filters the issues that correspond to projects, and scrapes the relevant data to generate project Markdown files that are written to the specified folder. For the current website, the files are written to the content/project folder: the website generator framework reads the contents of the folder and appropriately renders the project data. The process is automated using the .github/workflows/issue-to-page.yml GitHub workflow.

Images

Images from the brain art competition are stored in static/media/brain-art.

Extra information about the images is stored in data/brain-art.yaml.

You also decide where each image is to be used as background in the yml frontmatter of the page you want to use it in.

For example in content/home/team.md:

  # Background image.
  image = "brain_art/jungles_brain.jpeg" # Name of image in `static/media/`.
  image_darken = 0.5  # Darken the image? Range 0-1 where 0 is transparent and 1 is opaque.
  image_size = "cover"  #  Options are `cover` (default), `contain`, or `actual` size.
  image_position = "center"  # Options include `left`, `center` (default), or `right`.
  image_parallax = true  # Use a fun parallax-like fixed background effect? true/false

Team

The details for each team member is in content/authors folder.

For team member Jane Smith, the details will be in the frontmatter of content/authors/Jane-Smith/_index.md.

Team belonging is defined in that frontmatter. Which group to display on the landing page is changed in the frontmatter of content/home/team.md

An avatar.jpg can be added to the folder to be used as the profile picture.

The corresponding page will be found at [base-url]/author/jane-smith/.

Updating events

Requirements

This must be done locally on your computer.

This requires python 3.6 or higher.

Make sure to install all the packages from the requirements.txt files before running the main script.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Procedure

All the information about the events is centralized in: data/locations.yaml

Any image for an event must go in static/media/events.

Pages for each event are generated in the folder content/events by running the script tools/generate_events_page.py from the root of the repository

python tools/generate_events_page.py

This script uses the mustache template content/events/index.mustache to create the pages by completing with the info from data/locations.yaml.

To add new events you can use the commented templates at the top of data/locations.yaml.

If you want to remove an event from the website, you can simply set its display field to false.

Commit the newly generated files, push and open a pull request to update the website.

Updating the calendar

To do so you should have been granted access to this google calendar:

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=8mum7e3jm9628q1m6urpktbf1s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe%2FBrussels

To add all the google calendar events of a brainhack site, you must have an .ics file that lists all the events of that site.

You should ask the organizers of the brainhack site to provide you with that.

The content should look like a series of events delimited by a BEGIN:VEVENT and END:VEVENT tags (see below)

Before adding these events to the global calendar, make sure that the SUMMARY: field of each event starts with the name of the brainhack site (see below).

A quick search and replace should help you fix that.

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20221124T123000Z
DTEND:20221124T170000Z
DTSTAMP:20221122T121943Z
UID:[email protected]
CREATED:20220920T092305Z
DESCRIPTION:
LAST-MODIFIED:20221109T142705Z
LOCATION:
SEQUENCE:1
STATUS:CONFIRMED
SUMMARY: Donostia - Time to Work on Projects (Coffee Break @ 3:00pm)
TRANSP:OPAQUE
END:VEVENT

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20221124T110000Z
DTEND:20221124T123000Z
DTSTAMP:20221122T121943Z
UID:[email protected]

DESCRIPTION:
LAST-MODIFIED:20221109T142655Z

STATUS:CONFIRMED
SUMMARY: Donostia - Lunch Break
TRANSP:OPAQUE
END:VEVENT

Once this is done you can import the .ics file into the google calendar:
