Open Source days are very different to meetups for talks.
They’re focused around GitHub projects and issues
They have far more speakers (project maintainers)
There are multiple groups happening at once, so our current agenda isn’t useful
They aren’t recorded. This means they aren’t as valuable in our past events listing.
The title and explanation
Thus far we’ve assumed that we only give talks, so don’t have a space for a title. We need a title to distinguish an OSS day from conventional talks.
The day also needs a brief explaination of how it works. We could repurpose the ‘welcome’ section for this, placing it at the top and getting rid of the host’s profile.
Agenda
Our agenda should list break times and group times. We could use a generic agenda, without mentioning specific projects.
Where ‘build’ and ‘local_cafe’ are material icons corresponding to Blackboard Collaborate and Spatial Chat. Clicking on the icon should take the attendee to the corresponding virtual space.
Project lists
The project list is currently too large to easily scroll through. We could experiment with:
having a condensed list at the top and more detailed projects below
having a drawer per project
having anchors to projects. This may be worthwhile for talks too.
Project details
All projects have a few things in common:
a GitHub repository
a contributor guide, or instructions
a list of issues
We could pull the issues list from GitHub, searching for the specific repository, and have an ’issues’ tab.
Some projects are manned by the same speaker. In this case, we don’t necessarily want to duplicate the speaker profile.
