This is the website for the GAP Days.

It is based on Jekyll, a static website generator, and the hyde template.

If you want to test the site on your own machine, you need to have ruby and bundler installed. Afterwards, for the first-time setup, do this:

git clone https://github.com/gapdays/gapdays2027-summer
cd gapdays2027-summer
bundle install

Now whenever you want to test the site locally, you can do this:

bundle exec jekyll serve -l

Now open a browser on http://localhost:4000/ to see a live preview of the site.

Steps for new GAP Days

To create a website for a new GAP Days event, follow roughly the following steps:

1. Copy the data of the previous GAP Days into a new repository. Add that repository under a suitable name at https://github.com/gapdays

2. Edit all relevant files; at the very least do the following:

   • _config.yml: update baseurl to match the name of the repository at GitHub, and update title, description, location and email
   • index.md
   • location.md
   • registration.md
     • the "registration_state" entry at the top (notyet, open or closed) controls what the page shows
     • update the link to the registration form
     • edit the rest of the page suitably
   • participants.md

     • This contains the list of participants, in YAML format. Basic entries look like this:

       - name: John Doe
         affiliation: University of Nowhere
       

       Entries can be followed by links, e.g. to slides, other PDFs, etc.

       - name: John Doe
         affiliation: University of Nowhere
