5 years ago This could be done in the "events" section, but I need to do a config thing so Jekyll will accept dates in the future. I would also suggest adding a section separate from events (or create subsections) to help differentiate regular meetings/meetups from ones that are major events such as Maker Faire and ImagineRIT. Another cool trick I might be able to pull off is generating ICS calendar files people could add to their calendars.

Summary
Add static page for Project Collaboration Meet-ups (RITlug/tasks#39) with dynamic date variable for easier sharing / linking about our meet-ups
Background
I was promoting another event at RIT and noticed the /r/RIT "what's happening this week" thread. It would be cool to have a fixed web page explaining what our Project Collaboration Meet-ups are and when/where the next one will be held.
It also makes it easier to share a repeatable message for department newsletters, like the IST newsletter we feature in now.
Details
The hard part already seems done up until now, with some of @ct-martin's recent PRs. I would imagine using a "blog post" for Project Collaboration Meet-ups, and then using a variable for the next planned date (stored with our other site-wide variables) for quickly and easily updating.
Outcome
Easy to maintain web presence for Project Collaboration Meet-ups, easy to promote / share them with a fixed URL
