9 years ago Hi Josh!
Thank you so much for submitting to SassConf this year!
Unfortunately, we weren’t able to select your talk.
We had an incredible number of submissions this year: 81, in fact, enough to fill up over two weeks of Sassy goodness! But we only have two days, and we couldn’t pick everything.
We specifically tagged your submission Unconference not because it’s “not good enough” for the conference days, but because we believe your talk would be better suited to a smaller group or more organic setting. The Unconf is a much more hands-on environment and we hope you’ll present your submission there, so attendees can have time to really try out your tips and join in the conversation! Static site generators are super fun to play with and we think attendees will get a lot out of getting to actually install and use it along with you!
If you have any questions at all about our selection process, your submission, or anything else at all, please reach out: elyse@sassconf.com and I’ll gladly give you more details.
Again, thank you for submitting. It’s people like you, who are willing to put themselves out there and work hard and submit and give talks that make it possible to even have SassConf. I hope you will submit again next year and continue to be part of the Sass community!
See you in November!

Description
There are dozens of static site generators available, each with it’s own APIs, syntaxes, and setup processes. Jekyll, Middleman, Hugo, Wintersmith … the list goes on and on. Often, these generators are strongly opinionated in the construction of the site, using specific templating languages and pre-processing libraries. However, with build tools for the web now so prevalent, there’s little need for a generic static site generator; with tools such as Gulp, it takes little time to put together a generator that works with your needs and requirements. I’ll show you how we put together Airframe, a static site prototyping kit, to do just that, and how easy it is to build your own.
