Creating a personal website using Github #9

Open jamiecmontgomery opened 8 years ago

jamiecmontgomery commented 8 years ago

I've seen a bunch of cool personal websites from colleagues that use GitHub and Jekyll (I think?). We could do a co-working session where the goal is for one or two people to lead an informal 'how to' and then all participants create their own personal website.

Here are a few I've stumbled across: http://hadley.nz/ https://erikjsolsen.github.io/ http://jwhollister.com/

We don't have anything scheduled for April so I'd propose a day during the week of April 4-8

Thoughts??

Neat thing: If you're up for this you can also just hit the +1 or an emoji 'reaction' at the top right corner of this issue!

Let's do this on April 7 at Bren from 1-3pm? A little longer session but people can come and go as they please.

This will be more of a co-working session with the goal of the session to have everyone walk away with their very own website! Or at least understand how to do it using GitHub...

I'm going to postpone this session. @jules32 just came back from the rOpenSci unconference this past weekend and got the inside scoop to some new features coming out soon from RStudio and others. One of which is replacing Jekyll with RMarkdown. Julie may be able to elaborate more on this or at least point us to it when it is finally announced by RStudio!

But in the meantime, I think we should postpone until May.

Any update on this? I'm still really interested!

jamiecmontgomery commented 8 years ago

No update yet...I'm hoping to schedule this for early Fall when most people are back in town. We'll definitely get this on the schedule asap. We do need a leader for it though, any volunteers!?

jules32 commented 8 years ago

Hi guys,

I think that sometime mid-fall I could do this with Rmarkdown instead of Jekyll. We can sort out a date for it when I'm back at NCEAS.

Cheers, Julie

Hi All (and @reblake),

@bbest is leading an R Users Group called 'R for websites' on September 20th at the UCSB Library's Collaboratory. Chris Lortie and others will be giving talks too, it should be great!

Free, but you'll need to pre-register: www.meetup.com/Santa-Barbara-R-Users-Group/events/233716974/
