[DOC] removed deadlinks from the events/conferences; replaced with videoplay list from early Spark Summits

[dmatrix]

• Removed deadlinks from events/conferences
• spark-summit.org website archives no longer accessible, resulting in a 404 error page; not a good look for the page
• replaced with a playlist of the most recordings from previous Spark Summit years (2013-2017)

There appears to be a difference between the generated HTML and source .md here:

Yes, there's a difference because I have removed the extraneous line from the community.md "- The meetup page also contains an archive of past meetups, including videos and slides for most of the recent talks", since the slides are no longer availabvle.

They have to match though; .html is generated from .md by jekyll. You can generate with jekyll or simply carefully make sure the output matches what jekyll will output.

Here is the line in site/community.html generated by jeklll, after a bundle exec jekyll build

• Bay Area Spark Meetup. This group has been running since January 2012 in the San Francisco area. The meetup page also contains an archive of past meetups.

• And here is the community.md commited file:

• Bay Area Spark Meetup. This group has been running since January 2012 in the San Francisco area. The meetup page also contains an archive of past meetups.

They seem identical. What am I missing ...

However, when I do a git diff site/community.html, I get this:

You probably have a different jekyll version - check the README for how to install the exact same version.

However here it's probably easiest to just do what the diff tells you by hand, it's just one line.

In all events we have to appease the build as this can't be merged with the check failure (see below)
