[tpm] Last night's meeting

[Olaf Alders]

A few thoughts from last night, but before that, if you haven’t seen it, the December social has already been announced, please RSVP if you plan to attend.

Cees fixed the issue with the perl.com <http://perl.com/> web site: https://github.com/tpf/perldotcom/pull/211 <https://github.com/tpf/perldotcom/pull/211>

We realized that http://to.pm.org/ <http://to.pm.org/> is no longer resolving, so we decided to move our static site to github’s hosting.

Our new site, once it is ready to go, will live at https://toronto-perl-mongers.github.io/ <https://toronto-perl-mongers.github.io/>

Isaac started working on the Hugo setup for the new site.  It will live at https://github.com/toronto-perl-mongers/tpm-site-generator <https://github.com/toronto-perl-mongers/tpm-site-generator>

We added new members to our GitHub org.

Once it’s set up our flow will be that merged pull requests will  trigger a build by Hugo and then a deployment of the static site.  So, hopefully, it’ll be smooth process.  We can look into GitHub actions to do this.  If this doesn’t happen organically we can schedule another hack night to do this.  I think it’s well worth it since there are lots of areas of the stack to learn about and if something goes wrong with the site, it’s not really such a bad problem.

That might be an interesting thing to tackle in November while it’s still fresh in our minds?

I think we could maybe do a better job of using the screen.  Maybe have one person hacking and sharing their screen with the room and then another smaller group that works together on some other part.  Anyway, I personally learned a bunch yesterday and found it to be quite helpful.
