Monger Joe Axford and I have completed installation of the Shiny CMS software on our new Host Gator server, so the next steps are to think about what categories of content we want on the website and choose a fitting HTML/CSS/JS template, which we will then convert into a Shiny theme using Template Toolkit. So far we potentially want to have the following pages and/or features on our new website: - Home Page: salamander mascot "Bart" on a welcome slider splash screen- Software Projects: info about CPAN modules adopted and created by Austin.pm- Blogs: posts for all ongoing Austin.pm events, meetings, trainings, etc.- Job Board: posts for all Perl jobs offered and jobs wanted in the greater Austin area- Member Pages: all active Mongers get Shiny accounts with their own custom page, blog, etc.- Forums: for discussing Perl and related topics- Mascot: a whole section just for our cool salamander mascot Bart- Multimedia: music & movies like Joe playing guitar & salamander hunting at Barton springs- Store: official Austin.pm & salamander Bart swag like t-shirts, bumper stickers, coffee mugs, etc. There are literally thousands of responsive HTML/CSS/JS themes to choose from on Theme Forest: http://themeforest.net/category/site-templates Here are just a few that we thought were neat: http://romanovatemplate.mustachethemes.com/ http://themeforest.net/item/cloud-me-web-hosting-responsive-html-template/full_screen_preview/8657234 http://themeforest.net/item/appic-business-technology-bootstrap-template/full_screen_preview/5318285 If you are so inclined, please look through Theme Forest and take note of any responsive HTML/CSS/JS templates which look fun, professional, high-tech, and fitting to our proposed content. PLEASE NOTE! Starting in 2015, all meetings will be changed from Tuesday at 6:30pm to Thursday at 7:00pm, and the locations will stay the same. So, our next business meeting will be Thursday, January 15 at 7:00pm, located at HostGator offices, at which time we will finalize our website plans and enjoy free pizza thanks to our awesome sponsor! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Good Perling To You All,~ Will the Chill, Austin.pm Prez -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
