This repository contains the source code for the Series of Online Research Software Events (SORSE). It is based on the Minimal Mistakes Jekyll theme and hosted with Github Pages. The static website is build automatically on Github but you can also build it locally.

The documentation how to contribute is in the Wiki of this repository. There you find, how to add new members, new national chapters, how to assign someone to a specific team, etc.

Unless you know exactly what you are doing, please always

• do not push directly to the master branch (usually you are anyway not allowed to do so). You must contribute via pull request
• we always require a review from another person (the four eyes principle)
• assign issues and pull request to applicable milestones, labels and projects.
• if you're working on an issue or PR, assign it to yourself! If you are not working on it anymore, remove your assignment from the PR, either because you are finished or because you don't have the time to do more, unassign yourself and ideally leave a message that someone else should take over.

New to GitHub? Don't worry, you'll figure it out fast and it's no problem if it does not immediately work. If you have a problem, ask in slack or create an issue. You should have a look into the Projects tab (see above), that gives you an overview on the current tasks.

• if you are lacking a link and nevertheless want to add the text as a placeholder, mark it with {: .missing}. The link will then be highlighted in red (example: [some important document](){: .missing})

• when referencing an internal link, e.g. {{ site.data.committee.national_chapters.deRSE.internal }}, use prepend it with a {{ site.baseurl }}, otherwise it will not resolve correctly on GitHub. In other words

  • [Software demos]({{ site.data.committee.programme_teams.software-demos.internal }}) 👎 😠
  • [Software demos]({% include fix-link.html link=site.data.committee.programme_teams.software-demos.internal %} 👍 💚

As we cannot host one version of this site with GitHub Pages (generated from the master branch), you should build the website locally and test the implemented changes (or the reviewer in the pull request does it, this is fine as well). To build this site locally, you need to use the command line:

1. Install ruby for your platform
2. Install bundle via gem install bundler
3. cd to the clone of this repository
4. Run bundle install
5. Serve the site locally via bundle exec jekyll serve
6. Visit the site in the browser via http://localhost:4000

We use CircleCI to preview the site for pull requests, and this is controlled by the files in the .circleci folder. To use CircleCI, you will need to make sure you are logged in to the service and following the repository. When you select a build associated with a pull request, click on the "Artifacts" tab, and select a static file to open and preview in your browser.

We use the html-proofer to test for broken links, etc. To run the tests locally, you need to install it (see Local installation) and run the tests via executing bundle exec rake
