Hi folks!

If you could add a LICENSE to this project, that would be helpful. I'm putting together an awesome list for Algeria Projects and a LICENSE is one requirement. So I'll be happy to add this project once a LICENSE is chosen.

Thank you

The website content is provided through a structured Yaml file we should validate to prevent administrators from entering invalid data.

The validation should address both the Yaml file structure (in order to make sure required keys are filled and no extra keys were added) and the data validation (in order to prevent (for example) wrong date format or wrong http urls)

We should use angular to address the need of iterating through nested data structures used to build the website content. A temporary fix was introduced for that but we should consider making a permanent fix using Angular.

I think better is to use a static XML file to add information about the event, we'll just have to add an entry with the date, the topic, the speakers, ..etc and then it automatically updates the website.

Exemple:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<meetups>
   <meetup id="1">
     <date></date>
     <location></location>
     <topic></topic>
     <presentations>
       <presentation>
         <speakers>
           <speaker>
             <fullname></fullname>
             <title></title>
             <slides></slides>
           </speaker>
         </speakers>
       </presentation>
       <presentation>
         <!-- ... -->
       </presentation>
     </presentation>
   </meetup>  
   <meetup id=2>
     <!-- ... -->
   </meetup>
</meetups>

This is just a first draft, we can make an xsd file that do fit the structure we want to store all the relevant informations we need for our meetups.

This approach will help us,

• Avoid editing the code each time we need to update the website for a new meetup
• Provide a structured static data content about our activities that can be converted to any other format
  and also used as a data source elsewhere.

@hlagrid, the website hosted on VPS or shared host ?

We could use the AlgeriaTech logo

Is there any milestones a todo list for the web site?

I think everything in the title above, and it's clear :)

size of speakers's photo btw 400 and 500px, so why we don't resize the images to 80px(the current size) very easy if you want to do it I can :)
