It's great all this work is being done now. Being able to see the "shape" of the conference up-front is hugely useful IMO. :-)

However, there are couple of revisions to do with the education track details:

Django Girls are part of the education track, not part of the software sustainability stuff. By this I mean there are two "tracks" of an educational nature in the Simulation Centre on the Friday: teacher CPD and Django Girls. (On the Saturday the whole SimCentre being set aside for the kids.)
"Bank of America Education Track" is perhaps a better / more accurate name.
The education tracks should probably be mentioned in the abstracts page. However, rather than putting a bunch of text in the abstracts page, why not just link to both the education and science pages on the website..?

It would be useful to have the deployed URL listed next to the description so one can quickly jump to the site.

As a developer I would like easy to follow baby steps and appropriately referenced resources for setting up a development environment using vagrant/docker/whatever is tech-du-jour for this sort of thing... ;-)

Please don't assume I know what I'm doing. :-D

When checking a pull request, Travis runs bundle exec htmlproof --href-swap ".*pyconuk.org/:/" _site/.

It should be possible to run this locally, easily, both if you're running inside docker or if you're not.

Assigning to @ghickman cos he seems to enjoy this kind of thing, but don't feel you've got to take it on!

Across the top of each page is a menu containing "Home", "Talks", "Venue" etc...

The "Home" item is always highlighted no matter which page you're visiting. The menu relating to the current page should always be highlighted (for example, if you're on the "Talks" page, the "Talks" menu item should be highlighted).

The table on the Schedule page will just do for now. If someone is inclined to find out how to add secondary CSS sheets to a page then some well thought out table padding would be nice, perhaps some zebra striping.

Maybe https://github.com/hawkz would be a more obvious person to do this than me.

The Python.org website CSS has this, which might be helpful:

table.docutils {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
min-width: 20%;
border-radius: 3px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

table.docutils td, table.docutils th {
border: 1px solid #ddd !important;
border-radius: 3px;
}

table p, table li {
text-align: left !important;
}

table.docutils th {
background-color: #eee;
padding: 0.3em 0.5em;
}

table.docutils td {
background-color: white;
padding: 0.3em 0.5em;
}

Talks sessions to be 40 mins apart.

Meta-bug for me to keep track of Trans*Code plans and add it to schedule when required.

@nceder commented 3 hours ago:
Presumably if we are doing Trans_Code, we'll want a space on Friday? My
thinking was that it would only be on the Friday, although the Django Girls
had suggested that having the Trans_Code hack day the after their workshop
would be nice - that way some of the newly trained people could
participate. Depends on the space/resources available.

@nceder commented 3 hours ago:
You're quite right about the agreement, the thing is we hadn't worked out a
ton of details. As I see it (and I would want to confirm this with Olivia
and Rina) what we talked about was:

1. Django Girls on Friday, with capacity X (I don't remember the exact
   number), with some special outreach/accommodation to the trans* community.
2. Trans*Code Hackday for ~30 people with some special
   outreach/accommodation to Django Girls/PyLadies (i.e., Django Girls who've
   already completed the workshop)
3. Their (Django Girls orgs) suggestion was that having the hack the day
   after their workshop would let those people choose to participate. My
   assumption was that there wouldn't be space on the Saturday, since the kids
   day really fills things up.

At this point I don't think we have anything more worked out than that.

If you use the mouse wheel to scroll down the "Venue" page, as you hit the embedded map, its scroll-wheel functionality takes over and it starts to zoom.

Easy enough to stop, move the mouse, and carry on, but if anyone's got any good ideas it might be worth avoiding.

When you make table headers, e.g.:

<thead valign="bottom">
  <tr><th class="head">Time</th>
    <th class="head">Room 1</th>
    <th class="head">Room 2</th>
    <th class="head">Room 3</th>
    <th class="head">The Software Sustainability Institute Room</th>
    <th class="head">Bank of America Simulation Centre</th>
  </tr>
</thead>

It looks beautiful when you remove the main site's style.css etc, but with it, it looks like this:

Is something in the site CSS too hungry i.e. it is not limited enough to a particular class or id?

#21 - "someone who can build the site" - that should be "anyone who can run vagrant up" rather than "anyone who can set up rbenv/rvm" because doing the latter always makes me sad...

I'm about to tidy up the text for the science page and push it, but unfortunately everything I have written so far was on a clone of the old repo on BitBucket. Now that everything has moved to Jekyll what I did before needs doing again. Can someone please tell me where assets go and how I use them? On the old site I was putting images in .../science/static/img/. I notice the Education page on the new Jekyll site doesn't have any images now, so I can't just copy what @ntoll has done :(

There is a Restructured Text Converter listed here:
http://jekyllrb.com/docs/plugins/#converters

On a rainy day I will test it out. If anyone knows Jekyll better and wants to beat me to it, please go ahead.

Not sure what change to make, so raising this as an issue rather than a PR

It's "PyCon UK", not "PyConUK" or "Pycon UK" or anything else.
