My name is Bob Bloom. I am the lead organizer of:
- Greater Toronto Area (GTA) PHP Group (https://www.meetup.com/gta-php-user-group-toronto/)
- 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.
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?
