Figure out better way to surface Hack Night slides

[jszwedko]

This came up tonight during Hack Night, but it'd be great to post the slides for Hack Night somewhere each week. I'm told there are in the shared Google Drive folder, but that isn't super accessible.

Possibilities:

• Post to the meetup.com event after each event
• Post on website (may want to post each meetup there too if we go that route? Currently it just redirects to the meetup.com page for Hack Night)

I'd like to avoid re-publishing (copy/paste style) to many channels too.

I'm a fan of good tools for the job. For slides - Slideshare, Google Presentation, etc. Most of these, we can link as content from the website.

Thinking about a quick hack, in terms of making it dynamic:

Maybe a .json file on GitHub could be updated. Then, that file could be loaded via jQuery in order to refresh this content easily. Something like

// sf_brigade_website_resources.json 

{
  resources: [
    slides: {
      date: "2015-11-04",
      title: "SF Hack Night Night Slides"
      file: "https://googledriveslides_or_slideshare_etc"
    },
   another_resource: {
    }, etc.....
  ]
}

Agreed!

We may also be able to leverage https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/children/list if they are all in the same folder. @therebelrobot do you have a link to where they are currently stored?

Working with @j6design on a strategy to do this going forward, will update with results.
