Hey dudes, please pardon the top-posting. I just re-joined the mailing list to participate in this discussion, and I do not have a real mail client.
Just to test the water, what do you guys think about starting up a github organization for NLUG? Anyone with a github account would be able to join, it'd be an open group. We'd need a lot of owners, so they could add new users, but I don't think there's any shortage of people on this mailing list that know how to use git, or would have a problem maintaining that group. Once we have an org, we could host a static website using github pages. This could just be some raw html that we've written ourselves, or we could use a static-site generator like Jekyll, and manage the site as a series of text files and templates (take a look at https://github.com/igneous/lordofthephon.es to see what that would look like). It would still be something that everyone could contribute to, like a wiki, but we'd have a bit more control over it. Also, you can rest assured that github isn't going anywhere. It's also worth mentioning that we could still keep the nlug.org domain, just forward the apex to a 'www' cname, and point www.nlug.org -> nashville-lug.github.io. We could also create a few repos for group nlug projects. if anyone wants to work together as a group on other stuff (perhaps a bot for our irc channel?). I notice that Gerdesas hasn't been keeping his bot around :P Best, Igneous On Friday, February 27, 2015 at 9:41:38 PM UTC-6, dink wrote: > > This would be a good time to have a Nlug steering committee meeting.
