Currently, http://video.nodepdx.org is running Richard (https://github.com/pyvideo/richard). This platform is convenient because it integrates with @CarlFK 's (NextDayVideo) veyepar/richard workflow... but really, we're not getting much benefit from that, and it means maintaining a Digital Ocean droplet running Django on a constant basis vs just serving static HTML. There's a cost involved in terms of money, but also in terms of mental overhead and remembering/documenting all the details of how to maintain that server. Static HTML served from GitHub Pages, with a simple generator script to update it would be much easier.
We can get JSON from @CarlFK 's veyepar platform (https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar) and use that to generate static HTML. Since we're not using the cataloging and searching features of Richard anyway, this would produce the same experience for the end-users.
An example of the NodePDX 2013 video data JSON is here: http://veyepar.nextdayvideo.com/main/C/troy/S/nodepdx2013.json
Working from that output, try to replicate the Richard site at http://video.nodepdx.org. The JSON should be captured and stored in the git repo as a .json
file for long-term archival use because it's possible that it could be deleted from veyepar whenever Carl feels the need to do that.
Tooling should be something node related, or just implemented in Bash. I don't want to have to install Ruby v9.3.40-magicbuild and some conflicting gem to generate the site (I'm looking at you Jekyll).
