Update the placeholder post

As a placeholder we can use https://fav.farm/✊🏾

• https://2023.djangocon.africa/news/announcing-djangocon-africa-2023/

Contributing to Black Python Developers website

Include a graceful stop if there are no changes to be made or the issue/pr that triggered the workflow doesn't include the conference label

I also think as things get a little more complex we can make them into that CONTRIBUTING.md file and link to it from the README

          I just organized the files for the README or the website. If we don't want public to production we can exclude in the `config.yml`

I think we can create a section for Contributing for the website and reuse this images

We should make sure that our devcontainer has playwright installed and we should add instructions to test local builds so that we can update our playwright tests created in #20 to test locally

The title bar should include "Black Python Devs" on it. We should update the template to include Black Python Devs | followed by the page title.

Update the Events page by language (EN, ES, SW)

Swahili:

_data/locales/sw.yml

• Language Code: <ISO 639-1>
  swahili : sw

What is Black Python Devs

Black Python Devs is an online-first community for python developers of all skill levels that identify as black.

Our goal is to:

1. Show the vast community of black Python developers that exist but whose voices are often not amplified in the community.
2. Support black Python developers in their careers by highlighting their expertise and creating mentorship opportunities.
3. Learn from those who are creating and organizing events and other groups with communities of black developers.

Why online first

We hope in the long run to create many in-person user groups and events, but we have to understand where we can make the largest impacts.

To do this we're hoping to gather folks from around the world and see where our largest audiences are.

Conference Name

DjangoCon US

URL

https://2023.djangocon.us/

Conference Dates

16 Oct - 20 Oct 2023

Conference Type

in-person

Conference Location

Durham, NC, USA

Summary

DjangoCon US is a five-day international conference for the community by the community about the Django web framework, held each year in North America.

Speaking

• Dawn Wages - Supercharge your Python and Django Development Environment with VS Code and Dev Containers
• Kojo Idrissa - Orientation/Welcome & Lightning Talks Host
• Abigail Mesrenyame Dogbe - Keynote: Finding Purpose in Open Source Through Community Building
• Velda Kiara - Building Powerful APIs with Django, Django Rest Framework, and OpenAPI
• Felipe de Morais - AfroPython: Using Django to change black people's life in Brazil
• Abigail Afi Gbadago - Strategies for handling conflicts and rollbacks in Django database migrations
• Victor Ogunjobi - Nothing for Us, Without Us; Breaking Unconscious Bias in Building Products
• Jay Miller - Panel Discussion: Who put me in charge? Moving beyond day-to-day coding in Django

Code of Conduct

• I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct

We can start with this template and go from there - https://github.com/Python-Community-News/Topics/blob/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/add_conference.yml

We don't need:

• CFP Dates and Links

We need to add:

• Text Area for all members that are speaking with their talk. Reuse the section from the conferences.html page to get started

When the site builds there is always the potential that some link or other problem arises. If we add playwright tests we can ensure that our links are valid and that changes in the future behave as expected.

To create

Create a github action that installs playwright and runs the playwright tests.

For python you can install and run playwright

python -m pip install playwright pytest-playwright
python -m playwright install --with-deps
python -m pytest

If you try the links from the gh-pages site. They all point to 404's this is likely due to a relative link issue.

Content for README.md

Stack

• Jekyll

For Contributions

• File an issue or Claim an existing one
• Have the issue assigned to you (leave a comment)
• Fork the code and make the changes on your own branch
• Submit a PR

Add a item for the menu in the navigation bar

• Blog : https://blackpythondevs.github.io/blog/

New contributors often get pre-commit failures in their PR.

pre-commit is installed in the devcontainer but the setup never happens.

To Fix

We can add that first run to our postCreateCommand in the devcontainer

The US Cultural Diversity Index is a ranking based on the locations greater racial diversity. It measures how much of a majority the largest racial demographic has in the area.

Rating:

• Poor: > 80%
• Bad: 65 - 79%
• Good: 50-65%
• Excellent < 50%

Add instructions for first time building via codespaces to include:

• Installing the gems (bundle install)
• Starting the server
• Opening the URL (from the forwarded port)

If possible include screenshots or terminal output.

I'm not sure the easiest way to do this but I think we can figure it out together.

I've seen plenty of communities that have maps that highlight where their members are. While I don't think we need to be hyper specific I think a file that has a counter showing what countries people are from could be interesting. It would be nice to tie this into registration but I think that would be over-compilcating things a bit.

Perhaps we can start with some form (Google forms/Microsoft Forms) and then use that data to create a heatmap

I've done this with Elasticsearch, Google Maps, and with Azure Maps, we could also use a more open mapping tool.

Fix the .github/workflows/conference.yml actions/runs/6599733546

We have some contributors that have worked on the community repos. I would love to have folks recognized publicly for their work.

Similar to #54. probably the same solution

The conferences page needs a spanish translation

Util for use pre-commit on Codespaces:

@user ➜ /workspaces/blackpythondevs.github.io (gh-pages) $ pre-commit run --all-files --show-diff-on-failure

ISO 639-1 language codes are two-letter codes

The regular expression lang_path_regex is modified to match only two-letter language codes at the start of the path, which aligns with the ISO 639-1 standard

It would be nice to include the managers to the website with links to our GitHub Repos.

Thinking maybe a profile underneath the role.

Steps to reproduce

1. Visit website - https://blackpythondevs.github.io
2. change language to es
3. Click the Acera De link

The site will revert back to English.

Steps to complete

The header should change if the language is set. This is likely done in the template somewhere.

Further Steps

Frontend testing should be enabled to test that links in the header are consistent when the language is set.

I don't know if playwright is supported for 3.12 but it definitely is on 3.11

• Add i18n for different languages like Spanish

EN	ES

Please add the community mission to the website - BlackPythonDevs/blackpythondevs#10

Markdownlint is a great tool that will auto-fix many of the markdown linting issues that come up in pre-commit. If Markdownlint was installed it would highlight and make the changes as the person is typing allowing them to see the changes.

To Fix

Add the id DavidAnson.vscode-markdownlint to the vscode.extensions in devcontainer.json

user is redirected to the #9 if he clicks on the online-first in about us page

How do we keep up with events that have passed. We need to be able to quickly remove old events from the site.

I'm not sure with Jekyll

If the site moved to render-engine. There is a JSON parser I made a while back and we can create a filter that just doesn't include events before the current date.

We have two events in our discord. Please update the events page to include them.

Be sure to not include the location for the ice cream social as it's reserved for those in the discord.

Example

Ice Cream Social at DjangoCon US

Planning to meet and greet events before DjangoCon US.

We'll be in Durham and for our Alcohol-Free event, it's an Ice Cream Social.

Meet and greet with one another. (NOTICE THAT THE DETAILS WERE REMOVED)
