Add Events to Website

Adding Events to the R-Ladies Chicago Website

About our website

The R-Ladies Chicago chapter website can be found at rladieschicago.org. It uses the Hugo Academic Theme.

Events

Events are posted to our website as "Talks" (i.e. using the talks widget in the academic theme). The Website_Event_Template.md file in this repo is the template for creating new events.

Upon filling out the website template, please rename the .md file as the date of the meetup and the meetup name. More specifically:

  • If the event is a regular, in-person meetup, the file name should be: YYYY-MM-DD-Meetup.md
  • If the event is a study group meeting, the file name should be: YYYY-MM-DD-SGNAME.md (i.e.
    2018-07-09_NLP.md)

Place this file and any source files (i.e. images) in the folder labelled Ready for Website in this repo and let the webmaster know that you have included files there. When files have been added to the website, they will be removed from this folder.

Some other nuances

For maintaining consistency, use the following conventions when filling out certain fields of the template:

In the header:

For title = "" use the name of the event that matches with what is posted on our meetup page. If this is a study group meeting or a smaller meeting that might not be posted on meetup, writing "Astrostatistics Study Group Meeting" is sufficient.

For event = "" start with the sub-group that's meeting, the month, then the type of event. For example:

  • For meetups, the event field should say: R-Ladies Chicago MONTH EVENT_TYPE[Technical/Social] Meetup
    E.g. R-Ladies Chicago August Technical Meetup
  • For study groups, the event field should say: Study Group Name MONTH Meeting
    E.g. NLP Study Group August Meeting

The longer event description should include:

  • A 1-sentence summary about what the event is (this could be the text that is used on the meetup event)
  • An email or method of contact if someone wants more information
