This site was developed by the Code4Lib 2019 Conference Committee Website Working Group based on a design by the 2016 working group. The site was designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the Code4Lib 2019 Annual Conference. A great deal of conference and organizational info can be found on the Code4Lib Wiki and the Code4Lib Site, but this site should serve as a gateway to the various sources of Code4Lib information while providing visitors with a user-friendly way to find conference-specific info.
This site was designed with future users in mind, so the group chose platforms that would be accessible to a wide range of users: Jekyll and GitHub Pages.
More details are available in the GitHub wiki.
Jekyll is a Ruby gem that generates static websites from markdown, HTML, and other formats. See the official Jekyll documentation for details.
Steps for contributing have been documented in the wiki on the 2016 site's GitHub page and will be updated as needed.
See a list of open issues. The following example uses "issue#3" as a subject. That's the branch name and is used in the commit message.
git clone
the repo from GitHubgit pull
bundle install
git checkout main
git pull origin main
bundle exec jekyll serve
git checkout -b issue#3
git add {changed-files}
git commit -m "fixes issue #3"
git push --set-upstream origin issue#3
git checkout main
git fetch
git checkout BRANCHNAME
bundle exec jekyll serve
As an experiment the site is also available via Dat which you can view in the Beaker Browser at dat://2019.code4lib.org. If you would like to clone the site you'll need to install Dat and then:
dat clone dat://2019.code4lib.org
If you want to update the Dat site you'll need to import the secret key from a friend:
dat keys import < 2019.code4lib.org
Then you'll need to:
rm -rf _site
dat clone dat://2019.code4lib.org _site
jekyll build
cd _site
dat sync
