Creating a new Post

Typically you will have booked a room to hold the event in and if money is available for catering have organised that too.

To create a new blog post you need to...

1. Have a GitHub account and be added as a collaborator on the repository.
2. Have cloned the repository locally.

Once setup you can then...

1. Ensure you are up-to-date with the main branch by git pull.
2. Create a branch locally, typically using your GitHub username and the issue number and date makes it easy to see what branches relate to, e.g. ns-rse/2-dec-2023 was created by user ns-rse, it pertains to issue 2 which is about the dec-2023 meeting.
3. Within the posts directory create a new sub-directory with the nomenclature YYYY-MM reflecting the year and month the event will happen.
4. Within the newly created directory create an index.qmd file.
5. Open the 2023-12/index.qmd and copy and paste the contents into your new file.
6. Modify the title, date and image fields in the YAML header.
7. Edit the body of text (everything from line 29 onwards) to reflect the meeting you are organising. Be sure to include...
   • A link to the original paper.
   • The abstract as a Markdown quote.
   • Details of who is providing the brief summary of the paper.
   • Details of the room and building, with an OpenStreetMap link to the building.
   • To get the URL for Google Calendar for people to add easily...
     1. Edit the event in the calendar and under More actions select Publish Event.
     2. Copy the HTML code and paste it into the web-page.
     3. Delete everything except the URL that follows href=" and everything after the closing double-quote.
     4. Use this in the [link] on line 59.
   • To get the Google Meet link
     1. Edit the event in the calendar and under the Join with Google Meet button is a URL.
     2. Copy and paste this URL.
     3. Paste and replace the URL on line 62 and prefix it with https:// i.e. it should read similar to [Google Meet](https://meet.google.com/ehu-zapk-awt).

Images

A useful source of images to use in posts are those produced for The Turing Way. Many can be found in the DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3332807 note there are different versions (linked from the right hand side). Note however that these are the original images and are quite large files and so they can take a while to load. An alternative option is to use the URL for the images in the GitHub repository for The Turing Way website where smaller versions of the images can be found, or you can use the URL from the image as hosted on the website itself (Right Click > Copy Image Address)

Regardless of the image source you should include the appropriate caption for the image which cites the images correctly. For convenience you can copy and paste the Markdown below, replacing the <insert_image_url> with the URL of the image.

Location Links

Trying to stick with the Open Source theme, links to building locations can be provided using OpenStreetMap. Navigate, via zooming in, to the location of the building and right-click on the map and select "Center map here" and you can then copy the URL ("Ctrl + l" followed by "Ctrl + c" in most browsers) and paste that into the web-page you are creating.

pre-commit

This repository uses pre-commit to check files and link Markdown using markdownlint-cli2. If you are unfamiliar with Git Hooks and pre-commit a useful article is Pre-Commit : Protecting your future self (there are subsequent posts on pre-commit). Ideally you would install pre-commit locally using the included .pre-commit-configy.yaml and .markdownlint-cli2.yaml files and address issues before committing. If you don't do this locally the code will be checked when Pull Requests are made using pre-commit.ci. Where possible fixes will be made automatically but sometimes the linters can't fix all errors that they find. If this is the case the log-file from the linked check will explain what changes need to be made.

Meeting Setup

There is an issue template for setting up new meetings that details all of the tasks that are required for setting up a Journal Club and advertising it. Where possible fill in details at creation time and tick off items (to tick of an item in Markdown put in x in the square brackets, i.e. [x]).
