Something seems to be wrong with the preview, I get the following when opening the page

[cmaureir]

Ah OK, the issue is that the page needs to be in src/content/pages/.
Also, maybe we create a new events directory there, and we put that inside?
Remember to change the src/data/links.json if you agree to the new directory.

@yuliabarabash2601 if you want I can push the fix

[hypha]

The page used US spelling, which I think is very much OK as it reflects the style of the summit organiser.

@egeakman it looks good to me but could you double check if the naming / URL is all good and easy to migrate to pretalx later?

[egeakman]

The URL/naming looks good. One thing I'm not sure about: do we want to keep summits/workshops/sprints (more conference related things) together with social events (PyBurger, Speakers' Dinner, etc.) in the future? I would like to decide this soon, so we don't have to deal with broken links and redirections in the future.

Last year they were all together:

What do you think @hypha @cmaureir @yuliabarabash2601 @cybit?

Hmmm that's a really good question. Now that the wise one asked, I personally think it works better under Programme. But I wonder if @clytaemnestra who is working on the new wireframe for the website UX has any input on this: does it fall under the scope of your work?

[clytaemnestra]

@hypha thanks for the ping! I think it's part of the program. Most people come to the conference because of the program. And people would come to the conference because of the summit. It provides educational value to them.

Events, on the other hand, are a nice add-on but not the core of the conference. People would not participate in a conference just because there's a social event. If you want to party, you go to a party. That's how I differentiate it.

Also, would it be good to set up a redirect in case we want to promote this on social media? If we move it to the program, the URL will be europython.eu/programme/c-api-summit - this is very long and doesn't fit well on the screen. It would be nice to have an alias, such as europython.eu/c-api. We did the same for the Call for proposals europython.eu/cfp , Call for reviewers europython.eu/reviewers and planning survey europython.eu/planning . I'm just thinking out loud if this would be good for the C-API summit as well.

Yeah, we can set up a redirect. But to be honest I wasn't expecting to have this number of redirects, so it may be better to set up a mapping in the code instead of a page for each redirect.

For now we can just create that redirection page, and I'll look into how we can do it with a mapping later.

So I think it means if @cmaureir agrees, this PR will include two more changes?

1. Updating the links.json file to move the summit from Events to Programme. (We could also consider removing Tracks and Selection Process from the menu once the list of sessions is published, but that’s for another day.)
2. Adding a redirect, similar to what Artur did here, so that both europython.eu/programme/c-api-summit and europython.eu/c-api-summit resolve. (Ege will review the redirect mapping more broadly at a later stage.)

So I think it means if @cmaureir agrees, this PR will include two more changes?

1. Updating the [links.json file](https://github.com/EuroPython/website/blob/b0f564c6a97fa772e6d65e282434674f0c998271/src/data/links.json) to move the summit from `Events` to `Programme`. (We could also consider removing `Tracks` and `Selection Process` from the menu once the list of sessions is published, but that’s for another day.)

2. Adding a redirect, similar to what Artur did [here](https://github.com/EuroPython/website/pull/987/), so that both `europython.eu/programme/c-api-summit` and `europython.eu/c-api-summit` resolve. (Ege will review the redirect mapping more broadly at a later stage.)

This is now done. I'd appreciate a new review so we can merge this soon!

[hypha]

I am confused. The code and content all looks good. But in the preview, the URL is still https://c-api-summit.ep-preview.click/events/c-api-summit/. https://c-api-summit.ep-preview.click/programme/c-api-summit/ is 404, so the redirect also doesn't resolve. I don't know if this is a preview issue or something else is at play here. Maybe @egeakman or @artcz know why?

[artcz]

@hypha https://github.com/EuroPython/website/pull/995/files here everything looks like it's in /events/c-api so the preview looks correct

[hypha]

@artcz! Thanks! I completely missed that!
Edit: sorry for shouting!

[hypha]

Thanks to Artur's tip, fixed the url in a9f6872 and all looks good to me now.

[cmaureir]

Thanks everyone for all the feedback!
