We should create an entry for the recently held December workshop with entries for each presenter with slides and videos

Link 'Click here' is broke.

I want to create an entry for newsletters, perhaps quarterly initally. Unsure how this will be structured in terms of writeup, but something we owe to the community

Update bylaws!

'Become a Member' button returns a 404 error code

Can you configure the GH repo so that it will deploy a branch to GH pages? Or provide me with permissions so I can configure the Settings of repo myself?

The 'our projects', 'Getting started with CHIPS...' links return a 404 error code.

• Presence styling for the topnav is not working well
• Make elements with dropdown menus unclickable
• re-align dropdowns below their top element so all texts are left-aligned with top element

Is not centered vertically with other entities in its row.

Let's simplify the contact form. A couple of the fields are redundant:

• country/region
• job title
  I suggest we drop them.

I'd also merge name & lastname into one field.

This should be for fall 2021, not 2022.

Currently the members list is implemented as shortcodes, which is definitely not how we'd like this - we want automation which would enable us to automatically process the membership list etc. So, We would need the HTML from here:

https://github.com/chipsalliance/chips-alliance-website/blob/7c9a2b29704085651fd02594ec104c2fb741dc88/layouts/shortcodes/members.html

To instead be generated from a YAML (.yml) file, most likely to be put in the data/ directory. That would also of course eliminate repetition in the code and separate content from presentation.

Let me know if that is clear or I need to provide more details.

Do we want a Members opting-out of OWFa commitments page as before? I doubt that. I think this should be a parameter in the YAML file (not present by default, only true for the 1 org that has used this mechanism) and then we can somehow add filtering (at a later date) to reflect that on the member page.

Currently the WG list is a copy-paste from the previous website. We definitely want to change this and populate it from the TSC repo.

We will clean up the data to prepare it to be automatically parsed. The files will be markdown with YAML frontmatter: we want the front-matter to contain standard data (e.g. WG name, leader, meetings list) which should be nicely rendered on the page and some Markdown which should be rendered as-is.

We initially input no logo for the FPGA tool perf and that is what happened:

Obviously the behavior should be different - there should just be no logo, or a placeholder of some sort.

The new website was briefly using a LF template to showcase them (i.e. https://landscape.cncf.io/card-mode?project=graduated, which pulls data from repo - displays information about commit history, programming languages etc.)

This is nice in the longer term but on the other hand we do not have logos for all the projects nor can we expect all of them to procure ones instantly, and we may be missing other random pieces of data. This page should rather just pull from the TSC repo and display the projects as a list, with some information about them.

To do that we would need to parse the projects data. Example: https://github.com/chipsalliance/tsc/blob/main/projects/graduated/f4pga.md - this is kind of almost what we need

Q: Do we showcase only the graduated projects, or do we show the sandbox, archive?

A: We should show the sandbox as a clearly marked, separate category, yes. archive is not important I guess, I assume we don’t have any archived projects now? this section could be hidden by default or sth, if it’s easy.

Q: What info do we want?

• Status (determined by directory - sandbox, graduated, archived)
• Project name
• Project repo
• Brief summary
• License
• Maintainer
• Link to issue tracker
• Link to website

This is also related to #18.

Note I am marking this as post-launch as it will require some cleanup on the TSC repository side.

• Add University of Hawaii To Associate Members
• American Megatrends International LLC To Silver Members

The new website shows a copy paste from the current website, where the TSC is only represented by the Chair (photo missing). We would like a TSC rep list on the website (but just as a list with names + what they represent, no photo), generated from the YML data for workgroups and projects (as it's a derivative, i.e. there is 1 rep per project and workgroup).

This way we could actually generate the list on the website and get rid of the manually maintained list in the README of the TSC repo.

This will of course need some work on the TSC repo side.

The F4PGA workgroup should have its website, https://www.f4pga.org listed

Can you expand on the requirements you have for the Events page? Do you want that to just be a static page of events you can edit freely, a page with an embedded calendar (example), or something else?

UNB & University of Toronto are both missing from the associate member's section of the homepage. They are both active members and should be added.

We should point to forthcoming and archival events on the same page

How hard is it to create a workgroup website within this framework? For example, the analog group sorely needs one

The link at the bottom of the page, entitled "Getting started with CHIPS Alliance" gives a '404' error, page not there.

I tried pushing to the repo today and I got this error:

Did something change recently wrt access via personal access tokens? This is an org-wide setting.

See below:

The correct behavior should be to check if this is a link and if not, do not make a link (and hide the "website link" column.

Checking if a value is a link should be fairly trivial, I assume.

See this report for the results of a broken link checker.

The data for the governing board uses shortcodes and is better than the companies list, but still not ideal: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chipsalliance/chips-alliance-website/6aecb7f4f00988b6db7aae780ae8c9d3134a80e6/content/about/governance.md

Parsing this automatically would be a pain. Also, board reps are derivatives of the companies status. So we might want to keep the board rep data together with the membership data, i.e. add a "board_rep" key or sth like that to the YAML for members. As for photos, they could simply have the following form name_surname.png or sth and this way you would not have to even include that data in the YAML.

There are little corner cases like a silver member board rep but I assume that basically if there is a "board_rep" key on the members side, whoever is indicated just gets added to the board composition (if no photo available, then a placeholder with a head).

As discussed in our meeting on 1/27:

• Create an Events object that has a title, date, and markdown content file
• Create an Event listing showing upcoming and past events based on the dates
• Add only the one event listed here to populate the list
• No featured image or detail page is needed

Minor grievance, but it would be good to clean it up.

Do you have a marketing person I can work with to adapt the copy of the existing CHIPS site to the new design? There are a lot of dynamic modules in the new design that I think it would be great to take advantage of, however, it would take some work to adapt the current messaging.

I seem to recall that there were at least 2-3 yearly reports we'd put together over the years. Either we should have all of them on the website (and continue preparing them), or get rid of the subpage in the menu and degrade the one we have to a blog note.
