meetups.pixelastic.com

This repo holds the sources of the http://meetups.pixelastic.com website.

It contains recaps of various meetups and conferences I attended. There are a lot of recaps from around 2009, but then less and less of them. I still add some here once in a while.

Notes from 2024

We're in September 2024 and I need to make this old website run again. Many of the languages have seen major updates (several of them) and some tools do not even exist anymore. Below are some rough notes of what I did to make it somehow work a bit.

• Install ruby deps with bundle install
• Install grunt-cli globally
• Create _algolia_api_key file, it's required
• Install npm (yes, it needs npm) with npm install
• If things don't work, remove the package-lock.json and node_modules and retry npm install
• Cross your fingers
• Run npm run build

yarn global add -- grunt-cli bower

Installing Bundle dependencies

bundle install

After 4+ years not touching this repo, the above command failed because it couldn't install the json dependency. I had to do a mix of the following commands, hope it will help you too:

• bundle update json (to update from 1.8.3 to 1.8.6)
• bundle update yajl-ruby (to update from 1.2.1 to 1.2.3)

Installing bower dependencies

bower install

Installing NPM dependencies

This is an old project; it has to use npm, not yarn.

npm install

Running

npm run build
