pyconuk / 2015.pyconuk.org Goto Github PK

We have directories like talks/ which contain Markdown versions of all the abstracts (one file per talk), but some schedule items still link to content/abstracts.rst.

Would it be better to remove content/abstracts.rst, in case speakers have modified their abstract in their individual file but not in content/abstracts.rst? In my view it would be simpler just to remove content/abstracts.rst altogether.

This issue is related to PR #100 where I have made these changes to the Science track sessions.

Example: http://www.pyconuk.org/talks/a-deep-dive-into-python-import-hooks/

This could be fixed by adding a heading saying "Talks" or something similar

Just thinking the information may as well be on there as well. It may also make it quicker to spot in the schedule.

Can the call for participation on /programme have a bullet point for "Lunchtime event"? Thanks.

What it says on the tin.

Now that #70 is merged, the site's CSS is not conflicting with the schedule, yay. Therefore we can now give the schedule its own CSS.

The main thing is we need some padding. Also we will probably need to break out of the narrow central column that the CSS puts us in now and use the full width of the available screen.

If someone wants to be more clever, there are three examples of CSS for a RST table that come to mind:

• running rst2html on the schedule makes an HTML file with CSS in, rather functional looking though
• running the schedule through sphinx makes an HTML with CSS in
• the github representation of the table is particularly pretty

I am pretty rusty with CSS at the minute, so if someone wants to do something, just go ahead.

There are some incorrect rooms on the flat schedule. In particular, several events (including Django Girls at 12:30 on Friday; Teachers' CPD at 13:30 on Friday; the Recruitment Clinic at 12:30 on Saturday; possibly others) are shown on the flat schedule as being in the PythonAnywhere room.

See this:

The following paragraph appears twice in two different locations:

"If you come by car, there are car parks to both left and right of the entrance (Use the right hand one please, to leave the left hand one for other building users). They are barrier-controlled; take a ticket from the machine, don't lose it, and if you hand it in at Reception they will be able to validate it so that you don't have to pay when you leave :-)"

Is there a good reason for this..? ;-)

On the flat schedule, there's no speaker listed against "Template matching - howto".

I haven't investigated why this is happening, and nor have I noticed this problem elsewhere.

See PyconUK/pyconuk.github.io#44 and PyconUK/pyconuk.github.io#46.

Assigning to @zeth as he raised the original issues.

Attempting to install the build dependencies for the site under Python 3.4, I get this message:

Presumably wok doesn't support Python 3.

On my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S3) the navigation menu does not appear when viewing the site in portrait mode, and there is no drop-down. In landscape it looks fine.

Discussion of the latest draft can happen here.

Current pull request is here: #91

The new header for the site is wonderful, but sadly a visit to the home page does not reveal the dates at a glance. Since this is the most important single piece of information that potential delegates require, it will be helpful to have it as a part of every page header.

Migrated from PyconUK/planning2015#77.

The "Sponsor's Deliveries" section still names Sandra as the recipient of any sponsor swag, is that still correct?

From Mary: "I use a Hudl2 and the word "Register" is hidden behind the Pycon UK graphic at the top centre of the web page."

What it says on the title. The details in the schedule are from last year.

I don't see any current info on lodging.
