Django Day Copenhagen 2023 website

WIP: Until the event is announced, this is where we can work on the new website

Live version: https://2023.djangoday.dk

Local development

This website is developed with Hugo (a static site generator).

Why not Django? Django is our favorite web framework for database-driven solutions. But when making an event where we want the whole site to be archived forever, it's a great advantage to be able to have a tech stack with nothing more than an HTTP server serving a static website.

Development guide

This guide is quite bad currently and we know. Please reach out if you are interested in developing something for the website.

To download and install Hugo on Ubuntu/Debian, use the following commands:

HUGO_VERSION="0.109.0"
wget -O hugo.deb https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v${HUGO_VERSION}/hugo_extended_${HUGO_VERSION}_Linux-64bit.deb
sudo apt install ./hugo.deb

You can install and run Hugo on other systems, too, see their list of releases

After installing Hugo, you can view the site on your local laptop, by running the command hugo server directly in the root folder of this repository.
