This is the code for the website of redecentralize.org
Please do send pull requests and/or file bugs.
Your pull requests will be checked by Travis that they compile in Jekyll, the software we use to generate the website from its source.
Bootstrap is a git submodule (in vendor/bootstrap), so you need to run this or the file will be missing locally.
git submodule init; git submodule update
The website is made using Jekyll, which converts simple templates into HTML. Github supports it automatically, so this keeps things simple.
This will run a Jekyll server on your local machine, rebuilding the site every time you change a source file.

Ideally get a transcript ahead of time by emailing the transcript person a direct link to the (unlisted) video on Youtube.
-
Make it public on Youtube. Then on something.redecentralize.org server (Ross can give access)
cd /opt/vgrab
. bin/activate
./vgrab.py
It'll download the video from Youtube with the right name. Go to /var/www/redecentralise.net/video and check the file is there. You will need the slugified title (i.e. the filename, to use in URLs), and size of the MP3 later.
- Make a new file in
redecentralize-website/_posts/interviews. Based on the date you are going to be published. Carefully edit everything in the file. Spend ages on making a good description.
Run jekyll (as described above) to check everything looks right and the video plays OK.
- If you're not publishing yet, commit and push this in a branch. As soon as you push to the gh-pages it will go live.
When it is live, check video plays fine, and the RSS feed looks good and so on.
-
Tweet it out. Schedule Tweets in Hootsuite for the next couple of weeks to push it at least a bit more.
-
Mailchimp it out - you can duplicate newsletter from last time and edit the title, teaser, picture and link.
