Hi! Should we still be talking about the Midway page here? I'm ready to discuss here or wherever else. (hi, this is Mercedes, the producer of the Midway).
@merxaus perfect!
Here's the text for the page and an extremely rough mockup. Intro text: The Midway is where ONA13 comes to life. In this participatory space, we connect people, technology and journalism. The place where innovative ideas are born at the conference- this is a home to collaborate, explore, play and build.
Explore, Play, Build, Repeat. Explore
We discover and connect with the most creative innovators of digital journalism.
Play
We bring a child-like curiosity using crafts, blinky lights and games to create new solutions for journalism.
Build
We collaborate with experts in the space to design, iterate and create. Then repeat.
Take a look guys:
LOOKS SO GREAT

Awesome!!! This looks really great!
Here are some notes: The explore, play, build gets redundant up top. Let's edit the intro text to drop the end of the sentence after "this is a home to" and let the graphic header finish it. Also, the - after conference needs to be —.
The text below the Knight Foundation can be removed. And we just need a header that says Innovators, left-centered above Knight.
Jeremiah and I had talked about blowing out the div so there's no border or outline. We were also hoping to use a very light contrast of white and gray to separate the sections. These two features are not a priority though, so no pressure on that for this rollout.

I made the text edits; but not sure what you mean by the last paragraph. A hairline border between the three sections? It might be best if you were able to show me.
But yeah - I think these icons look great; nice job guys!
Any other edits? I can push everything live tonight.
@jeremiahnpatterson can you help me explain this? He did it today on the dev server. I want to remove the box that all the content is in. Can it either be all white or all grey? We can talk later to explain what we mean with the sections.
Also, I need "Innovators" on top of the Knight Foundation logo and left-centered. And let's change the style to match the Explore, Play, Build below the icons.
Thanks!
Innovators moved up and style changed. But, if you'll allow me to critique it.. left-aligning it looks a little odd, since everything above the schedule is centered. And if it's the same style as Explore, Play, Build, the two are very close together and they blend. I put a hairline between them to help differentiate a little.
And I think I get the background now. Like this? http://ona13.danielbachhuber.com/program/midway/
Sorry I'm late to the party. This looks so good!
Yes! The background is great. I see what you mean about left aligning. I'm fine putting it back as centered.
I think each of the sections could use some breathing room. Ideally I'd like to space this out in sync with a scroll but if you just add a little space between sections then this is good to roll out!
are we pushing everything out tonight?
Yup. Going through it now. Should be up in 15 mins or so.
YEAH!
Are we OK to import the latest schedule to the live site?
Yeah, it's fine. There are a few corrections I need to make tomorrow, but they are minor. On Oct 10, 2013 8:10 PM, "anekola" notifications@github.com wrote:

How does this look for everyone on the live server? Something about the color rendering makes the circles and the background blend together; the contrast isn't that great:

I see that. I can drop them on white circles instead?
Love the logos! This is looking great.
@merxaus Are you working with Yahoo! to get their logo up?
I could always crop one of these and use it: https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/5016141/1093205/ca7e0122-1698-11e3-9828-9b6d10ced06a.jpg
Let's blow out the standard ONA13 template and do a special one-off for the Midway. We'll need to plan some specifics (and the content) for this, but essentially:
-use Midway branding on an ONA13 page -short profiles of participants -schedule for Midway itself
