3rd level domains for embassies

[giefferre]

As official embassador, it would be nice to have a 3rd level domain from appsterdam.rs such as

milan.appsterdam.rs

as a CNAME or A entry for the appsterdam.rs domain.

Do you think it's doable?

@giefferre where would you like to point the domain to?

@olmageddon and myself are working on the Greek Embassy and I was thinking of opening an Appsterdam Greece github organization and push a github pages site there. Perhaps we can can share some of the workload.

I was thinking of starting with an embassy pages repo on the main Appsterdam organization page which all the embassies can fork and adjust to their liking. This way we can keep track of all the embassies, their pages and collaborators.

I created a new repo on the @Appsterdam Organization named embassy-page.

The README contains the basic info on how to setup a Appsterdam Embassy Page.

I forked it to the @AppsterdamGreece GitHub organization. I will add a simple scaffold site for the Appsterdam Embassies and open a pull request.

Bringing this to the attention of Aleem Habibullah, who is our global embassy coordinator.

I created a basic site based on the appsterdam.rs styles which can be forked and used by other Embassies.

When the repo is forked to a repo with the correct name, it will generate a site with some basic stuff:

• Home page with blog roll
• Contact page
  • Embassy info
  • Listing of owners of the github repo

There is a _config.yml file in the root of the repo. If all people do is update this and remove the default blog post, they will have a simple Appsterdam site which can be edited entirely via the github web interface.

See http://appsterdamgreece.github.io for the greek example.

I have set up the domain http://greece.appsterdam.rs to point to the github page.
