Adding an event

Fork the Async website repo:

git clone git://github.com/asyncjs/asyncjs.github.com.git

Copy the blank event template at _posts/0000-01-01-_blank.md (raw), using the date (YYYY-MM-DD) and "tag" (can be anything) for the new event:

cp _posts/0000-01-01-_blank.md _posts/2013-04-14-myapp.md

The following meta data at the start of the new page can be changed:

• title: The title for the event
• summary: A short one-line summary of the event.
• date: YYYY-MM-DDT19:15+00:00 (only change the YYYY-MM-DD)
• speakers:
• name: John Doe
• link: http://example.com/johndoe

If you're feeling adventurous, then you can go ahead and search for an inspirational Creative Commons photo on Flickr to beautify the post, e.g. flickr.com/search/?l=cc&ss=0&ct=6&mt=all&adv=1&s=int&q=light - then edit the appropriate "image" meta data for the image src, photo page, title and author

Then, add some content to the page about the event. For example:

• What is the talk about?
• Who is it for?
• Why is it useful / what will people gain?
• Who is John Doe (the speaker)
• Include relevant URLs
• Markdown can be used

Then push your changes:

git add _posts
git commit -m "Add new event"
git push origin master

And send a pull request for the repo's changes through the GitHub site.
