DevGroups

This is the repository of the site http://devgroups.org to submit developer groups links.

How to add a group?

First of all you need to fork this repository.

With this project in your hands, edit the /public/[platform-folder]/_data.json and add your group respecting these parameters:

"index": {
  "name": "platform_name", // lowercase and underscore
  "subtitle": "Platform name",
  "about": "Platform description",
  "site": "url of the official platform site", 
  "image": "platform-logo.jpg",
  "description": "Short 140 chars for SEO purporses",
  "devgroups": [
    {
      "title" : "Group's name", 
      "description": "Group's description",
      "url": "group's url",
      "image": "group-logo.jpg",// 350x195 size
      "lang": "group language. Ex.: EN, PT-BR, ES..",
      "channel": "Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Groups, Google+ or Site",
      "publish": true, // Publish to devgroups site
      "published_at": "20150330" // Current publish date in format YYYYMMDD
    }
  ]
},

Obs.: All image must be an jpeg/jpg with 350x195 size. If you don't add an groups.image the default platform image will replace it.

Look this example (public/nodejs/_data.json):

{
  "index": {
    "name": "nodejs",
    "subtitle": "Node.js",
    "about": "Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.",
    "site": "http://nodejs.org",
    "image": "nodejs.png",
    "description": "Meet the main Node communities around the world",
    "devgroups": [
      {
        "title" : "Echo JS",
        "description": "Echo JS is a community-driven news site entirely focused on JavaScript development, HTML5, and front-end news.",
        "url": "http://www.echojs.com",
        "image": "echojs.jpg",
        "lang": "en",
        "channel": "Site",
        "publish": true,
        "published_at": "20150330"
      }
    ]
  }
}

If you wanna add a new platform (programming language or framework), first you need to add it into global.platforms attribute in the file harp.json:

{
  "globals": {
    "title": "DevGroups",
    "description": "A huge list of developer groups around the world",
    "name": "Caio Ribeiro Pereira",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "platforms": ["nodejs", "meteor", "go", "ruby"] // Just add here a new platform
  }
}
