R-Ladies Riverside is an archived Jekyll-based website template for the R-Ladies Riverside chapter, built to publish meetup information and presentations through GitHub Pages.
What is R-Ladies Riverside?
R-Ladies Riverside is a GitHub repository under the rladies organization that provides a Jekyll-themed website for the R-Ladies Riverside chapter. It takes as input markdown and HTML content in a GitHub repository and produces a static website via GitHub Pages at rladies.github.io/riverside/. The repository is archived and superseded by rladies/meetup-presentations_riverside.
Key Features
- Jekyll theme — Uses Jekyll, a static site generator, as indicated by the jekyll-theme topic, allowing content to be written in Markdown and rendered to HTML.
- GitHub Pages deployment — The site is hosted on GitHub Pages, meaning updates are published automatically when changes are pushed to the repository.
- R-Ladies Global branding — Includes the R-Ladies logo and lives under the rladies GitHub organization, giving it consistent branding across the global R-Ladies network.
- R community focus — Tagged with r, r-ladies, and rstats, signaling its purpose to serve the R programming and meetup community.
- Archived status — The repository is marked ARCHIVED, making it read-only and no longer maintained; the description explicitly points to rladies/meetup-presentations_riverside as the successor.
Who is it for?
- R-Ladies chapter organizers — Can use this template as a starting point for a chapter website, though they should note the project is archived and consider the successor repository for active use.
- R community members — Can view the published site to find information about R-Ladies Riverside events, presentations, and chapter updates.
- Jekyll developers — Can study this repository as an example of a Jekyll site configured for a local R user group, with GitHub Pages integration.
What can you do with R-Ladies Riverside?
- Chapter organizers: Deploy a simple website for an R-Ladies chapter using Jekyll and GitHub Pages, with sections for meetup details and presentation materials.
- Event attendees: Visit the live site to discover upcoming R-Ladies Riverside events and access past presentation content.
- Developers and designers: Fork or inspect the repository to see how R-Ladies Global structures local chapter websites, then adapt it for other communities.
How does it work?
The repository is set up as a standard Jekyll site: content lives in Markdown files, Jekyll processes them into HTML, and GitHub Pages serves the result at rladies.github.io/riverside/. Because the repository is archived, no further changes are expected; ongoing updates have moved to the successor repository rladies/meetup-presentations_riverside.
