Data Files

Each meeting series is represented in a data file under _data. To add another file, simply add it to this folder in the same format, and it will render on the site.

Required Fields

Specifically, the following fields are required:

• name: the name of the meeting
• link a url to learn about it, must begin with http*
• next: should be EITHER a string "TBA" or a single entry with:
  • date-from: the starting date in the format YYYY-MM-DD
  • date-to: the ending date, in the format YYYY-MM-DD
  • link: a link to the site for the specific event, or the same link for the global event
  • location: the location the event will take place

A minimum example might look like this:

name: FORCE11
link: https://www.force11.org
next:
  date-from: 2019-10-16
  date-to: 2019-10-17
  link: https://www.force11.org/meetings/force2019
  location: Edinburgh, Scotland

An example with an event not yet scheduled might look like this:

name: FORCE11
link: https://www.force11.org
next: TBA

Optional Fields

If the event has had previous occurences, you should define these with a list of previous. Note the extra dash to indicate that we have a list and not a single entry:

name: FORCE11
link: https://www.force11.org
previous:
  - date-from: 2019-10-16
    date-to: 2019-10-17
    link: https://www.force11.org/meetings/force2019
    location: Edinburgh, Scotland

    date-to: 2018-10-17
    link: https://www.force11.org/meetings/force2018
    location: Edinburgh, Scotland

You should generally use 2 spaces as a convention for files.
