add Disqus commenting to blog posts

Not sure this is worth it. Current blog posts are all short announcements.

If we do add them, update RSS feed generator so that comments field is also defined. This should point to the anchor of the comments within a post's page.

links in RSS feed should be absolute

Right now the content of an RSS feed includes site root-relative links. This should be converted to include http://cufp.org/.

add more session types

In 2009, there are Welcome and Discussion sessions, which are currently defined as talks. That puts them in the same style as the main talks, but they really should be considered as a separate session type, e.g. general or some other catch-all term.

Also, industrial receptions should be included in the calendars and should be highlighted differently, so we need reception.

Restore cufp.org/2014cfp link

This link was included as part of our CFP; it should redirect to http://cufp.org/2014/call-for-presentations.html

delete Drupal module

Delete Drupal module once we're confident it's no longer needed.

contrast banner text with background image

Some conference pages' banner image is too light, so the white font doesn't contrast well enough. Find darker pictures to address this.

Difference between two pages

I was expecting http://cufp.org/2017/index.html and http://cufp.org/2017/ display same content, but http://cufp.org/2017/ does not have "call for tutorials" on the right side of the page.

add industrial reception

The industrial reception was always terribly difficult to find out about in past years. Is it happening this year? Add an event for it, create new event type (as requested in #8), and style appropriately.

fix formatting of Speakers column in session tables

For some reason, the Speaker(s) column:

has font bigger than other columns
appears vertically aligned to top

add links to 2016 videos

add links to videos and slides from 2017

make a new icon

A sketch of one idea is below. There's a (subtle) lambda dividing the square into 3 triangles. Each triangle's color can match the color of each of the 3 main session types: talks, tutorials, and BoFs.

improve dependencies in build system

Conference main pages should depend on all event files within their respective year. Technically this is only true when the schedule table is inserted, but that's basically always.

Suggestion: support session titles and non-talk events (like lunch, coffee break, etc.)

The ICFP program uses a simple file format to describe a schedule; they have some python (heh.) scripts to render them into HTML and LaTeX.

Here's the program description for this year:

The nice thing about this is that it allows us to label sessions, and include breaks -- it gives a better sense of the rhythm of the day and it's also fun and useful to label sessions.

fix link to anti-harassment policy

The call for presentations contains the link SIGPLAN Conference Anti-Harassment
Policy, which is broken.

add slides from 2014

@ekmett has the slides. We should add to cufp.org-media repo and update the talks' metadata with links to them.

fix links in Erlang Web frameworks tutorial

@vinoski We received a request to fix the links in your 2013 CUFP tutorial. Please let me know if you can provide the requested material still at some link. I can update the website if so.

try to not break old links

Links to cufp.org that are likely out on the internet should be preserved. Here are the ones to consider:

Videos

Fixed in 8debb31.

Conferences

Fixed in 30b3691.

/conference/[schedule/ | sessions/]2009
/conference/[schedule/ | sessions/]2010
/conference/[schedule/ | sessions/]2011
/conference/[schedule/ | sessions/]2012
/conference/[schedule/ | sessions/]2013
/conference/[schedule/ | sessions/]2014

Sessions

Fixed in 30b3691 and 7ccd7ef.

update Twitter page background image and icon

This issue not about cufp.org but rather about CUFP's Twitter page. Here's how it looks right now. Note the low resolution and outdated background image that was taken from our old Drupal based website.

announce 2015 conference

Draft of new 2015 page started in e3301be, but the following items remain:

Find nice pictures of Vancouver. Format as needed and remember to add info to the licenses file.
Add program committee members.
Add Twitter button. Consider where to place it as previous location was a bit awkward.

check filename clashes in conferences

In a conference directory, check that all resulting html filenames will not clash. Right now, it is possible that a file foo.md and a session with url_title = foo both exist, which would lead to two html files with the same name.

add links to 2015 videos and slides

Related to this comment.

auto-publish on commit

Set up Travis to auto-publish on each commit.

link to ACM

Should and can we link to ACM? If so, where? In the footer?

specify license of videos and slides

Licenses currently states that copyright of abstracts is retained by contributing author, but what about the corresponding video and slides?

eliminate "hit by the bus" risk

At present, @agarwal is the sole person with access to the web server and domain registrar. Put info somewhere secure and give access to additional people.

validate links

Run entire site through http://validator.w3.org/checklink. Since there is a lot of output, will be easier to do sub-directories one at a time:

pin solvuu-build in dev

README should specify to pin solvuu-build to dev otherwise opam will pin it to version 0.2.0, which will fail because opam file specifies to use dev.

Current instruction gives us:

r@machine cufp.org (master) $ opam pin add solvuu-build https://github.com/solvuu/solvuu-build.git
solvuu-build is now git-pinned to https://github.com/solvuu/solvuu-build.git

[solvuu-build] https://github.com/solvuu/solvuu-build.git updated
[solvuu-build] Installing new package description from https://github.com/solvuu/solvuu-build.git

solvuu-build needs to be installed.
The following actions will be performed:
  ∗  install solvuu-build 0.2.0*
Do you want to continue ? [Y/n]

Instead, one should specify the dev suffix

r@machine cufp.org (master) $ opam pin add solvuu-build.dev https://github.com/solvuu/solvuu-build.git
solvuu-build is now git-pinned to https://github.com/solvuu/solvuu-build.git

[solvuu-build] https://github.com/solvuu/solvuu-build.git updated

solvuu-build needs to be installed.
The following actions will be performed:
  ∗  install solvuu-build dev*
Do you want to continue ? [Y/n]

find missing videos

I could not find links to the following videos:

Add links to videos from the CUFP 2014 talks

We have videos on-line now thanks to Malcolm Wallace.

They can be collectively found in this playlist on youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVcyA16KWw4&list=PL4UWOFngo5DVRnB4OBL1Oi6pzEeHhaI01

but we could link them individually from each of the talk pages.

add credits for additional people and organizations

Should we be giving credit to additional people and organizations:

Other staff, e.g videographer?
Sponsors of each conference? Do sponsors of ICFP count as sponsors of CUFP? If so, we could add their logos to each conference's page.
Sponsors of the website. Old site used to say "The site was generously sponsored by: Jane Street".

improve design of blog posts pages

Main blog page. Set background on body. Separate each post, so it looks like a physical piece of paper.
Individual blog post pages. Apply grid.

add links to final reports

Final reports are produced summarizing the conference every year (or at least several years). Add them and link from each conference's main page.

add 2017 tutorial chairs

Tutorial chairs are yet to be determined. Add to front page when known.

make videos page less monolithic

Current videos page contains links to all videos ever, which makes it load rather slowly while not being particularly useful. Instead:

Generate a YYYY/videos.html page for each conference year YYYY.
Make /videos/index.html link to each year's individual videos page.
Add a pane to each conference's page saying VIDEOS in big letters.

set PWD when calling mpp

Right now file paths within mpp commands have to be relative to the repo root. This is slightly annoying. It would be more intuitive to let paths be relative to the mpp file being processed. To make that work, need to set PWD to the directory in which the file resides.

archive old Drupal site

Just in case there's some important data in the Drupal site, we should save all of it. We can keep the files on the same server that is hosting the current site, so that all files are in one place. We need:

A dump of the Drupal database.
Drupal files directory.
Use a web archiving tool to archive the site as we see it deployed. This will allow us to compare old and new pages more easily than the database dump.

add search box in nav bar

Grammar error on home page

The first paragraph on the homepage starts with

Functional Programming has been at the forefront of a new generation of programming technologies. Companies employing functional programming to enable more effective, robust, and flexible software development.

However, the second sentence doesn't make sense in English. It should be something along the lines of "Companies are utilizing functional programming to enable more effective..."

Even so, I would suggest a more complete change that makes it flow better:

Functional Programming has been at the forefront of a new generation of programming technologies, and companies have been successfully utilizing functional programming to enable more flexible, robust, and effective software development.

Note the swapped positions of the words "effective" and "flexible"; the last word in a list of benefits should be the strongest association. In this case, we want the strongest association of functional programming to be "more effective software development", thus the swap.

remove extra margin in small screens

Main conference pages get extra margin (or padding) on right when the screen size is sufficiently small. Years 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2009 exhibit the problem on an iPhone. None of the years exhibit the problem in Chrome on a desktop, I think because Chrome limits the minimum window size and you can't make it small enough. Safari on a desktop allows quite small window sizes, and all years exhibit the problem. Also, the amount of padding that gets added is inversely proportional to the window size.

add location info to sessions

Metadata should include a location field, so we can note room numbers for each session. Don't use room however, to allow more general locations, e.g. for the industrial reception that can be in an entirely different location.
Table generator should have option to include location or not. Should be included for current conference and omitted for past conferences.
Include location in each session page.

make it easier to quickly navigate through all sessions

Couple of options for doing this are:

In session tables, hovering over title should popup a box with the description. This will allow quickly seeing more than just the title of each session.
Add previous/next link to each session's page. On touch devices swiping left/right should accomplish the same thing.

fix reference style links

@codemiller I fixed the reference style links here, but I suspect the page isn't being generated the way you intended. Also note reference 5 isn't linked from anywhere.

Can't find foundation-icons.3

I don't seem to be able to find this dependency anywhere:

=-=- Gathering sources =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
[ERROR] curl: code 404 while downloading http://solvuu.com/download/foundation-icons.3.tar.gz
[ERROR] The sources of the following couldn't be obtained, aborting:
          - foundation-icons.3
        (This may be fixed by running 'opam update')

update 2017 tutorials description

Front page contains copy/pasted description of tutorials from previous year. It refers too much to tutorials that occurred last year. We should update to be more general and/or to reflect tutorials occurring this year.

replace Orbit with Slick

Picture transitions in the Orbit unit are erratic. Zurb has deprecated it and recommends using Slick instead.
