From besmit at umich.edu Mon May 2 09:56:47 2011 From: besmit at umich.edu (Bryan Smith) Date: Mon, 2 May 2011 12:56:47 -0400 Subject: [AnnArbor.pm] Design bash this Weds, 7pm at Workantile Message-ID: Join us this Weds, May 4th at 7pm at Workantile and help us prepare our new site. We already have a Movable Type install (including a custom theme!), and there is plenty of work remaining. I'll bring pizza and list of remaining tasks. I'll give a brief overview of Movable Type (but will defer to anyone with more experience) and create accounts. What do we need done? * Migrating content * Creating widgets / site components * Adding functionality * Feedback on the work in progress (user experience, styling, Movable Type best practices) * Documenting a to-do list No experience required, everyone welcome. I'll make sure that everyone finds a task they can comfortably perform. Please bring laptops and other mobile devices (smart phones, tablets) if you have them.

(Tomorrow night.) Here's the site we'll be working on: http://a2perl.org/ (We'll request to have annarbor.pm.org point to our server so that annarbor.pm.org can be the canonical domain -- i.e., the one indexed by search engines, though we can always publicize a2perl.org since it is so short. Also, a2perl.com points to a2perl.org. We can discuss what this means during meeting if there is any concern or confusion.) Here's a rough list of things that need to be done: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-dEYVRPOutOFj0BGJnr56ryIf6DJE3LwuK2iqMS3CDA/edit?hl=en&authkey=CJqJy6wG There will be pizza. Please bring laptops and other mobile devices!

[ www.a2perl.org] Seth did a bang-up job on the background images. There's still a lot to do: put the site under version control, automated backups, set up member profiles, finish migrating content, some front-end performance, more design, etc. (If you missed the meeting but are interested in contributing, contact me or come to the next meeting!) However, we're going to move to our new site by next week! For our next meeting: - Seth will discuss the Mojolicious and Dancer web frameworks - Bryan will discuss growing the Ann Arbor Perl Mongers I'll send out an Doodle to schedule the next meeting in a couple weeks. Any ideas on how to best publicize the meeting? Bryan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(See attachment "how-to-publish.png".) If you don't, every page in the site will look off. (See attachment "save-without-publish.png" to see how the site looks if not re-published.) I'm pretty sure this is related to my custom theming, and will look for a long-term solution. =) Bryan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Meanwhile... * Member profiles? I filled out my profile, but if anyone with an account would fill out their profile, that'd be great. If anyone without an account would like a profile, just send me your full name, a picture (optional), and whatever content you want (including description, links, etc.). Or you can request an account at our next meeting and DIY. * How development works: 1. Changes are made to the development site [dev.a2perl.org] 2. Content is pushed to production site by admin [www.a2perl.org] I put up an archival copy of our old site [previous.a2perl.org]. * The to do list for the site is available online as a Google Doc [ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-dEYVRPOutOFj0BGJnr56ryIf6DJE3LwuK2iqMS3CDA/edit?hl=en&authkey=CJqJy6wG ] Let me know if there is anything we need to change before the switch, or if you'd like to volunteer for any any tasks.

This is a good chance to connect with other groups and find out more about how A2PM fits into the SE Michigan geek ecosystem. I've already signed up, and it would be nice to have some help repping A2PM. If you are interested, please RSVP: a2geeks.eventbrite.com More information: http://groups.google.com/group/a2geeks/browse_thread/thread/8c8a475fe2f7ac54 Thanks, Bryan From besmit at umich.edu Sun May 15 17:52:01 2011 From: besmit at umich.edu (Bryan Smith) Date: Sun, 15 May 2011 20:52:01 -0400 Subject: [AnnArbor.pm] Our new site is (sort of) live! Message-ID: Hi everyone, I've added an HTTP redirect from the old site's home page to the new Ann Arbor Perl Mongers site (a2perl.org). Meanwhile, I requested that the DNS entry for annarbor.pm.org is changes to point to our new site. Once that happens, our site will be *really* live. Here's a list of todos for the new site: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-dEYVRPOutOFj0BGJnr56ryIf6DJE3LwuK2iqMS3CDA/edit?hl=en&authkey=CJqJy6wG Bryan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The good news is that we have a relatively fresh backup of the Movable Type site (and a more recent backup of static files in site), but the bad news is that I need to stitch it all together. I'll let you know when I'm done, which might take a few days. Bryan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
