We've given elixir.sydney a complete rebuild, and along the way we dug up our entire history.
The new site is a small, fast static site built, fittingly, in Elixir with
Tableau, the elixir-tools static site
generator. The whole thing compiles to plain HTML and is pushed to S3 and served
through CloudFront, so it's cheap, fast and has nothing to keep running. Content
lives as Markdown and YAML in the repo, and every
push to main deploys automatically.
More importantly, it now documents every Elixir Sydney meetup since 2015: more than eighty events and the talks, speakers and recordings that went with them. A lot of that had been scattered across an old site, our Meetup group, GitHub and the Internet Archive, and we've pulled it back together for good.
We've also finally shut down our Meetup.com group (yay!). It served us well for a decade, but it's done, everything now lives here, with RSVPs on Luma.
A few things to explore:
- Events, the full archive, newest first, with talk videos and slides where we have them.
- Speakers, everyone who has ever given a talk, with links to their work. If you spot something wrong, let us know.
- Give a talk, first-time speakers are very welcome, and we're happy to help you shape an idea.
RSVPs now run through Luma, and we hang out in the Elixir community channels linked in the footer.
See you at the next one.
