Get this Jekyll theme here.

Hi there! Here’s the lazy grad student’s template for workshop webpages. I put this together to help automate mundane tasks with conventional workshop webpages - curating lists of speakers and/or organizers, schedules, and submitted/accepted papers. Here’s a completely unrelated picture adapted from “Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence” by mikemacmarketing; licensed under CC BY 2.0:

The theme is quite easy to use if you’re familiar with Jekyll. The following collections are implemented:

  1. Speakers: Curate a speaker list like this one from a set of markdown files, one per speaker. Crops and displays images if available. Adds a short bio. See files in the _speakers directory for examples.
  2. Organizers: Curate an organizer list from a set of markdown files, one per organizer. See files in the _organizers directory for examples.
  3. Schedule: Curate a schedule like this from a set of markdown files, one per event (talk, panel, break, etc.). See files in the _schedule directory for examples. Schedule items are sorted by a sequence_id attribute.
  4. Papers: Curate a list of papers like this from a bunch of markdown files, one per paper. See files in the _papers directory for examples. Papers are sorted by a sequence_id attribute if specifed (else they are listed alphabetically).

NOTE: The best way to use these is to turn feature on or off by editing the collections attribute in _config.yml.

If you experience issues or have cool features to add, feel free to fork this template.
