My name is Bob Bloom. I am the lead organizer of:
- Toronto PHP (https://www.meetup.com/toronto-php/)
- Laravel Toronto (https://www.meetup.com/laravel-toronto/)
- York Region PHP Group (https://www.meetup.com/york-region-php-user-group/)
In lieu of doing websites for each of our three groups, I am doing this GitHub organization as a website proxy.
I am a bit amazed that after searching for a quick way to do websites, I could not find a solution.
Hugo, and other static site generators, were promising, but judging by my reticence gettting into the weeds of it, I demurred.
BTW, after doing static pages on Cloudflare Pages, using Astro, with the help of AI (which is not perfect with Astro), it is probably feasible doing it this way. If anyone is interested in doing this, let me know!
I have been creating repos to do notes for specific meet-ups. It is handy to be able to edit something regardless of where I am or what device I am using. And, of course, our attendees are very used to GitHub. And, why not do PR's for contributions?
Appreciation to our tremendous corporate hosts:
