Preparations before GAP Days

In preparation for these GAP Days please get your resources up to date. Please note that this list will be updated on the go, as we find more things that need to be prepared.

  • get/check access to gap-system slack, in which there will be a dedicated GAP Days 2020 channel. If you do not have access to this slack please email us and we will invite you.

  • connect git account/set up new account for HackMD.io

    • gem install jekyll. If gem (the ruby package manager) is missing, install ruby.

git clone https://github.com/gap-system/gap-distribution
git clone https://github.com/gap-system/GapWWW

  • try to build the "new" website in GapWWW branch jekyll

    cd GapWWW
git checkout jekyll
../Mixer/mixer.py -f  # still needed for now
