Use OSM instead of Google Maps

https://github.com/SeaGL/seagl.github.io/blob/master/maps/2017.html has integrated Google Map and link to view externally in Google Maps. At the least, there should be also a link to Open Street Map if not going so far as to replace all the Google stuff with Open Street Map alternatives.

Register for 2015 banner makes page horizontally scrollable

We should probably remove the banner until registration opens.

TravisCI test to make sure site builds without errors

It'd be great to add a test so we know if PRs will break the web site's build.

seagull logo is squished in mobile safari (iOS 5.1 iPhone 4S)

Publish RTMP URIs

Update CoC

The CoC is ready to be updated on the site but it lives in markdown form.

See: https://github.com/SeaGL/organization/blob/main/Code-of-Conduct.md

If this can happen ASAP that would be great.

Add 2021 archive

2016 Schedule and Sponsors pages throw a 404 error

http://seagl.org/schedule/2016.html

http://seagl.org/sponsors/2016.html

Maybe we can add a "coming soon" section.

https://seagl.org/meet - should indicate it is optimized for desktop use

https://seagl.org/meet and the whole mobile experience is subpar, we should add some text on the page that mentions that the desktop experience is best

Make 2013, 2014 schedules redirect to latest (2015)

FSF copy update suggestions

SeaGL is a grassroots technical conference dedicated to spreading
awareness and knowledge about the GNU/Linux ecosystem, Free Software,
and the Open Source movement.

Free Software is a movement, but this doesn't say so.
Open Source is not a movement (in fact, the purpose of that term
was to get away from being a movement), but it is described as one.
GNU/Linux isn't an ecosystem, it's an operating system.
"Ecosystem" makes me uncomfortable because of its amoral outlook.
See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Ecosystem.

Later on it says

We will have a small hall available for exhibitors. Free
tables will be available for Open Source and Non-Profit
organizations,

You can see the issue.

We have enjoyed down-to-earth
conferences like LinuxFest Northwest for many years,

Referring to this has the effect of bringing in the idea that the
system is "Linux" -- it could be reworded to avoid that.

Add a map to the venue on the web site

Adding a map to Seattle Central would be great to allow people easily plan their commute, whether by public transport or car. Maybe use Google Maps?

News archives 404 due to routing

When navigating to a news page beyond the first one from http://seagl.org/news/ the link adds an additional /news thus 404ing.

Automated publishing of future-dated posts

Looks like #169 went live despite being future dated. Isn't a big deal, but might be nice to fix for queuing when we get closer to the event.

add media page with photos & videos from 2013

So far, this is the only media I'm aware of: http://youtu.be/OHT3ocyy2gs

If you're not able to create a patch, please just add a link or links as comments on this issue.

Fix mobile view of style guide

On the Style Guide, when viewed on small devices (e.g. mobile phones), the "Contents" section goes to the bottom. It should be at the top. This is a low-priority bug to fix.

"Schedules" link in menu points to 404 page

The "schedules" link on the nagivation menu points to a generic 404 page. I think this should point to /schedule/index.html, although this page doesn't contain the most recent schedules.

Build errors with containerized instructions

I'm having some trouble building the site. I'm not Docker or Ruby fluent enough to figure it out on my own, but it seems like something relatively straightforward for someone who knows what they're doing. :-)

I can build with the bare metal by replacing the system ruby 3.0 with the ruby 2.7 module. (I'm not sure if that will affect anything else on my system)

Maps link on homepage is a dead link (returns an HTTP 404 not found)

"Maps" on http://seagl.org links to http://seagl.org/maps/2016.html , which does not exist.

link SCHEDULE to a "coming soon" page

Anyone got a few minutes to change "SCHEDULE" to link to a page that just says "stay tuned for the 2019 schedule, ETA mid-September!" or something like that?

Style guide

Hi there, I've been approached by Salt to give feedback on style related topics. Here are some things that come to my mind that could be relevant for people working on SeaGL material. It is a mix of food for thought but also ideas on how to maybe change existing things.

Fonts

So you use Dosis and Lato. Stick to those, you should be able to cover any circumstance with them, especially with Latos variety of cuts. Keeping an eye on not using different fonts is essential for recognition.
I'd try to settle on one set of size ratios between Dosis and Lato. make sure Dosis is never smaller but always bigger than Lato like here:

(Lato is used quite small here)
Stick to Dosis on capitals ONLY. Mixing non-capital with Lato probably does not work well.
Don't use Dosis smaller than the current top menu:

Borders

Find a common set of borders that are allowed. This should ideally not be possible by such a given set:

choose a set of attributes that work for you and stick to only those:

borderless/bordered
thin/thick borders
opaque/transparent borders
bright/dark borders
And of course try to be consistent and not use different degrees of any attribute.

45° Edgyness

Edges are part of your look (like in the Seagull and the banner border). Come back to this property when creating any new elements or designs. Try finding subtle opportunities to include a 45° angle everywhere.

Colors

Narrow down your palette to a small number of colors that are not too close to each other and try sticking to those. Use shades only if necessary. Start by only looking at colors in your logo and see how far you can go by limiting your colors exclusively to those. Example: there should not be three different blues here:

or here:
Make this your new default white for all backgrounds:
avoid combinations with bad readability by either defining specific arrangements that work good enough - or - make it a rule not to use them.("text on orange background has to be dark blue")

Gradients

Embrace them or avoid them if possible:

Content license of sponsor logos

The website currently says:

Unless otherwise specified, all website content is licensed CC BY-SA.

I expect that the sponsor logos aren’t compatibly licensed and need an exception. What should it say and where should it go?

Close out 2021 conference content

update website with post-2013, pre-2014 information

http://seagl.org (the "home" page)
- venue is the same
- dates are Oct 24th and 25th, 2014
- look for "...was...", change to future tense or whatever
- add text w/same style of "The cost of attendance..." stating
  "Attendee registration will not require the use of non-free
  software."
- replace the Attendee Registration with Call For Participation
  (see b0122db)
Schedule (link in nav)
- change target to 2014.html (a new page) with "coming soon"
Sponsors (link in nav)
- change target to 2014.html (a new page) with "your name here!"

Need thank you post

This is reminder for me to post a thank you to everyone the day after the conference.

404 for http://seagl.org/schedule/2015.html

Maybe just put up a stub/"coming soon" page for now?

This "failgull" page was recommended by penglish2:

Could use that for 404 or 500 errors.

Need CONTRIBUTING.md file

I'll take care of this. :)

Found a typo in Cascadia award nomination news page

http://seagl.org/news/2017/08/19/CA_nomsclosing.html

...software work in the Casacadia region and who are currently...

Should this be Cascadia instead of Casacadia ?

More deps need installing for local dev - bare metal

At least on macOS, after installing the jekyll gem I also had to install the following to get jekyll to work:

bundler
github-pages

The docs should probably be updated. I'll try to do that in a bit.

Link to OSEM schedule for 2020

Tasks:

Create 2020 conference in OSEM.
Update site.custom.url.schedule.

participant registration link is hard to find

we need a link on the 'get involved' page, presumably pointing at osem.seagl.org

Need keynote venue post added

This is just a reminder that I need to add a post for the new keynote speaker venue.

Clarify parking instructions

Our existing parking instructions are confusing:

We direct attendees to the Harvard Garage, but then tell them not to use it.

…make an immediate left turn into the Harvard Ave. parking garage.

…go one block west to the Parking Garage located at Harvard and Pine.

Please use street parking or private parking. SCC's lots are for teachers and students.
We suggest that there are parking lots near the front entrance to SCC, but actually that's at a local maximum distance from parking lots:

There are several private parking lots located near the front entrance at 1701 Broadway Ave. or on Harvard Avenue

/schedule is out of date

https://seagl.org/schedule/ currently shows SeaGL 2013 and 2014. It is rather out-of-date. It should either be updated, merged with some of the archive work that is taking place, or removed.

Missing 2017 map assets

Some resources need to be copied/updated for
see https://github.com/SeaGL/seagl.github.io/issues/76 #76

Sponsor logos not being resized

It appears that sponsor logos are not being fit to a set scale, causing larger ones to be out of place or cut off (see LinuxFoundation). It would make sense to keep things proportional and not clip any logos.

Jekyll plugins

it looks like there are a bunch of potentially helpful plugins. Do we want to add any?

add 2019 map page

the map link points to a page that doesn't exist
** https://seagl.org/maps/2019.html
** can we add a screen capture image from OSM on this year's page in addition to the link to Google maps?
** it would also be nice to point out cross streets and name the nearby railstop
** maybe mention it's across from the Jimi Hendrix statue as that's easy
to remember and likely to be recognized
