nixcon2017's Issues

Clarify who's organizing the conference

There seems to be a fair amount of confusion on IRC and nobody seems to know who's actually behind the conference. Would be nice to give credit and also have an idea who's putting in the work to make this thing happen!

add information about public transport & car sharing in munich

the locations page (http://nixcon2017.org/locations.html) should contain some information about public transport tickets, car sharing options etc.

Fix styles at participant page

• the margin of the icons on a card should be smaller so that line breaks can be avoided
• the text on the corner ribbons should be centered and the ribbon be moved closer to the corner
• the ribbons should use prettier colors

Allow HTML Tags in talk description

Some talk details provided by the frab export (https://schedule.nixcon2017.org/en/nixcon2017/public/schedule.json) contain HTML tags for lists. They should be interpreted instead of escaped.

Add links and attachments to talk details

the frab export (https://schedule.nixcon2017.org/en/nixcon2017/public/schedule.json) contains fields for links and attachments (e.g. slides of the talk). Both should be added to the talk details.

Two more hackathon entries

        "description": "<p>Tagged unions, also called sum types, can represent different values which have a nested type themselves. A practical example where this is useful is <code>hdparm -a</code>, which represents different semantic values with ranges in one byte. In nixos we could represent that with <code>type = taggedUnion { off = unit; low = int.between 1 127; high = int.between 128 254; };</code>.</p><p>I am having a bit of trouble with how to define the merge function, so please shout if you know the insides of the module system.</p>",

        "required_experience": "a bit of nix to help OR the module system to help a lot"
    },

Don’t want to do a PR, because there will probably be merge conflicts.

show github avatars if no participant image is provided

For each participant who didn't upload an image its github avatar should be shown on the participants page. The avatars can be found at https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/<github_id>

add filtering to participants page

It should be possible to filter participants by query parameters like http://nixcon2017.org/participants.html?when=hackathon or http://nixcon2017.org/participants.html?githubid=cko
This would e.g. be useful for linking speakers in the program to their card at the participants page.
Basic JavaScript knowledge should be enough for implementing this.
