The OSR website was built using the Beautiful Jekyll theme by Dean Attali.

Instructions for building website (these must be run prior to uploading onto GH)

OSR 2026 data ownership

To avoid duplicated event data, keep each fact in only one active _data file:

• _data/osr_sessions.yml owns reusable session metadata: title, category, date label, time, URLs, description, and objectives.

• _data/session_speakers.yml owns session rosters, moderators, and per-speaker talk titles/summaries.

• _data/osr_schedule.yml owns day ordering and standalone schedule events.

• _data/osr_rooms.yml owns room assignments: Room H by default, with Room Agora for the OSSIG symposium.

• _data/speakers.csv owns person profile data only: name, title, pronouns, role/job, affiliation, bio, and social links.

• Speaker-page talk lists are derived from the session, schedule, and roster files. Do not recreate _data/accepted_talks.csv as a hand-maintained source.

• Check the speaker/volunteer CSV files are in place (in _data/speakers.csv, _data/volunteers.csv) Wipe the built directories if they already exist, and re-build: rm -r _speakers _volunteers; bundle exec jekyll pagemaster speakers volunteers Commit the new directories and push the site. This must be done every time the CSV files are changed.

• Regenerate the downloadable OSR calendar after changing _data/osr_schedule.yml or _data/osr_sessions.yml:

ruby scripts/generate_osr_ics.rb

This writes downloads/OSRschedule.ics with 2026 Europe/Paris event times for the public schedule download.

• If bundle exec error out, do the following things:

  1. Create Gemfile
  2. Follow the errors and add all required dependencies
  3. Run bundle install

Docker alternative

To avoid installing Ruby and all dependencies on your local machine, you can use Docker to build and serve the site. Run the following command in the root of the repository:

docker run --rm -it -p 4000:4000 \
  -v "$PWD":/site -w /site \
  ruby:3.2 bash -lc \
  "bundle install && bundle exec jekyll serve --host 0.0.0.0"
