Adding Posters

Poster data is a simpler version of conference talks or preconference workshops because room and time data does not vary and we only publish speaker names, no speaker image/bios. Thus the steps mimic those other sections, which you can review, but leave a few things out.

• Obtain a spreadsheet of poster data from the Program Committee. It should have at least speaker name(s), poster title, and poster abstract
• Download that data to a CSV
• Use the fromSheetsToJekyll tool
• select Templates as an option and use frontmatter settings similar to these (exact settings used in 2019, obviously will need adjustments):

speakers-text: [authors]
type: poster
length: 30
day: 2
categories: posters
location: TBD
layout: presentation
startTime: 1550677800

where "authors" is the speaker name(s) in the CSV. Set the post title to it's, uh, title and the description the abstract. Enter the date of the poster session (there should only be one day). As you can tell, most of the frontmatter data is static, including the conference day/time of the poster session and layout/post type settings.

• download and unzip the Jekyll markdown files
• upload them to the website in the _posts directory
