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 site on your own machine, you need to have ruby and bundler installed. Afterwards, for the first time set up, do this:

git clone https://github.com/gapdays/gapdays2025-spring
cd gapdays2025-spring
bundle install

Now whenever you want to work 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.
   • index.md
   • location.md
   • registration.html
     • the "registration_open" entry at the top can be used to enable / disable registration
     • Update the "form_api_token" value at the top of the file. See https://getsimpleform.com for more information. (Note that notification emails for new registrations are sent to a single email address. So I recommend setting up an address that can deliver to multiple people.)
     • Also update the "email" field at the top
     • edit the available arrival/departure date options in the 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
         links:
           "slides": http://bit.ly/gap-worksheets2015
           "photo": ../photo/john_doe.jpg
       

3. Optionally, edit program.tex, run pdflatex on it, and add the resulting PDF. Or, if you don't want to use it, just remove both the .tex and .pdf
