These scripts help devopsdays organizers manage their events.
The technical details and guidelines for contributing to this repository are outlined in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Full reference of all fields and features is located in REFERENCE.md in the theme directory.
New utilities and updates to existing utilities are welcome, as are suggestions for default content. Add new script in contrib.
If you want others in your team to be able to preview/approve changes before they are merged, we recommend you follow these steps to work with your own repo prior to submitting a PR.
Use add_new_event.sh to add a new event.
- If your city name contains spaces or special characters, the script will remove them for purposes of the event stub, which will be used in the URL and have a name like
yyyy-city. - The script will create a data file for your event in
data/events/yyyy-city.yml. This is where you will configure many of your updates and customizations. In particular, you need to list your local organizer team here. - The script will populate your event directory in
content/events/yyyy-citywith default content. You should edit it as desired. - Once you have created a logo graphic, place it in
static/events/yyyy-city/logo.png. (The file MUST be calledlogo.png.) The sample welcome page has a commented-out element to display a logo named in this way. For front-page use, you also need a square version instatic/events/yyyy-city/logo-square.jpg(url configurable in your datafile).
If you have set up a Google Analytics account for tracking your specific event, you can enable tracking for your event pages by updating the ga_tracking_id field in your YYYY-CITY.yml file. Example: ga_tracking_id: "UA-74738648-1"
To customize the logo that appears on the root of devopsdays.org, place a square file (jpg format only) in static/events/yyyy-city. It must be named logo-square.jpg and should be a minimum 300px x 300px, but optimizally should be 600px x 600px.
- The gears logo is available in AI, PSD and SVG format in the repo at devopsdays/devopsdays-assets
- Prospectuses for other events you may want to reference are also available in the devopsdays/devopsdays-assets repo.
Many sponsors are sponsors for multiple devopsdays. If a sponsor listing already exists with the correct information, you can just add them to your datafile.
The sample datafile has some sponsor levels pre-populated; edit as desired. You will want to decide what's in your sponsor packages before accepting most types of sponsors (other than Community).
Sometimes, an existing sponsor will want an event-specific URL for your event. Rather than creating a new sponsor, you can add an optional url field to the sponsor in your event data file to override the default URL for that sponsor. For example:
sponsors:
- id: victorops
level: social
- id: netapp
level: gold
url: http://netapp.com/?tracking=myeventthing
- id: thoughtworks-gocd
level: gold
If you want to update a sponsor, keep in mind that we don't want to retroactively change history for past events. See this previous discussion for guidance. Basically you need to preserve past history before defining a changed default.
Note that if a sponsor asks for an update affecting all future events, the shared sponsor entry will be changed for all events without any intervention needed from local organizers who have listed that sponsor. This is a benefit to using the shared sponsor entry.
Use add_sponsors.sh to easily add new sponsors. (Only do this if the sponsor doesn't already exist.)
- Sponsors need a file in the data directory, as such:
data/sponsors/sponsorname.yml. Before creating a new one, look to see if there is an old one, possibly with a date prepended. If it has the right URL and logo, you should use it instead of creating a new one. - Put the images for your sponsors in the
static/img/sponsorsdirectory. They need to be PNG files and named exactly after the name of the sponsor in your event file (and the corresponding sponsor data file), i.e.,static/img/sponsors/sponsorname.png. - Add the new sponsor to your event's datafile with the appropriate level.
See contrib/make_sponsors.rb for another option.
Guidelines regarding sponsor logo files and formatting:
- The dimensions of the image file must be at least 200px wide. 600px will look best for high-density display.
- The background must be either white or transparent.
All logos will be resized at release time, to 200px wide. Versions for high-density display (ex. Retina) will also be created. It is recommended that you do not use a sponsor logo that is smaller than 200px wide to keep from quality degradation at resize time.
See the example local organizer team members listed in the generated data file found in data/events/201?-yourcity.yml. To generate the team_members: section you can use add_organizers.sh.
The organizer photo must be in JPG format, and should be a minimum 300px x 300px, but optimally 600px x 600px. These images should be placed in the static/events/YYYY-CITY/organizers directory (which the add_organizers.sh script will do).
Any PRs adding a new local organizer will need to be accompanied by an email to info@devopsdays.org with their full name and email address.
A sharing image is added to the Open Graph tags for your event pages, to improve the sharing on social networks such as Facebook (or in Slack). This image must be named sharing.jpg and located in static/events/YYYY-CITY. It should be a minimum 1200px x 630px, and use ratio: 1.91:1.
If no image is provided, then the meta tag will not be created. Facebook might try to infer it, but the links shared will just likely have no images.
Use add_speakers.sh to add speakers and talks to an existing event. It will produce speaker-specific pages that link to their talk pages.
You can set additional optional frontmatter for speaker files:
Website = ""
Facebook = ""
Linkedin = ""
Pronouns = ""
Github = ""
Twitter = ""
If you have a two-speaker talk, create both speakers, add the talk under one of them, and set the talk file in content/events/2017-ponyville/program/rainbow-dash.md with a Speakers attribute like this:
Speakers = ["rainbow-dash","twilight-sparkle"]
Use add_program.sh to add the program for your event. The program template expects 4 full talks each day and lists default times, but you can customize. The program data is stored in the event datafile such as data/events/2017-ponyville.yml. You don't need to know any or all of your speakers when adding the sample program, but if you have selected speakers you can list them on the program with this script.
The headshots for your speaker images should be approximately 500px wide. They will display fluidly based upon the screen size and versions for high-density display (ex. Retina) will also be created at build time. They must be in JPG format and named with the .jpg extension.
After the event, you can set additional optional frontmatter for talk files such as content/events/2017-ponyville/program/rainbow-dash.md:
youtube = ""
vimeo = ""
speakerdeck = ""
slideshare = ""
slides = ""
Set $DOD_YEAR and $DOD_CITY and the scripts won't ask
for the year and city every time.
Here are some useful bash exports/aliases. Add them to your .bashrc or
copy .envrc.example to .envrc and run direnv allow. See
direnv for more info.
