Updates for 2023 conference

[Sparrow0hawk]

Dates

The date is specified in a couple of places.

First we're relying on github pages so it uses the repository name create the web page name https://rescompleedscon.github.io/conference2022.

Domain

Approach to fixing this is:

• Create a new repo forking this one called conference2023
• Try renaming the repo to conference or conference2023?

Pages

A number of sections in the home page are set via _config.yml so changes to name will be needed here.

Schedule

To adjust dates in the schedule you'll need to edit the data in _data/schedule.yml.

Sessions

To adjust dates and times in the sessions page you'll need to edit data in _data/session.yml.

Adding speakers and session

_data/session.yml.allows you to control session information for the sessions page and flows through into the schedule shown in the schedule page. It draws data about individual speakers from the _data/speakers.yml to populate an image and associated bio in modal popups associated with sessions.

These files will need to be hand edited to update this.

Logo generation

Saw John had mentioned this in another thread. The way I created the logo was very unscientific:

1. Navigate to https://rescompleedscon.github.io/ or open a local hackable HTML file locally
2. Change the code to be what you want in the h1

   <h1 class="headline">Res Comp Leeds Con 2022</h1>

3. Use a screengrab tool to snip it with the white background
4. Save it as a .png
5. Optional: pass it through a background remover tool (although I don't think I ever did this as it struggled with the colours)

I'm sure there's a better way to do this, I just never learned how!
