GopherCon 2019 liveblogging instructions

How to liveblog at GopherCon 2019


Live blog assignments are at http://bit.ly/gophercon-2019-liveblog-assignments


  • Take notes capturing the key points and main take aways. In particular, capture interesting things said by the presenter that are not in their slides?
  • How you capture/write your content is up to you, just make sure you're never at risk of losing your work.
  • Fork our website repository.
  • Find the Markdown file for your talk in the blogposts directory and add your content, setting the published frontmatter value to true.
  • If you want to see a preview of your post:
    • Ensure you have Node.js and Yarn installed.
    • Open a terminal and cd into the website directory.
    • Run yarn, then yarn start.
    • Images should be placed in website/static/gophercon-2019, the path prefix to the image being /gophercon-2019/, but feel free to upload them somewhere else if that's easier for you.
    • Once you're ready, make a pull request.

After your pull request is approved and merged, it will be live on the Sourcegraph GopherCon liveblog in around 5 minutes.

Then once live, your post will be promoted from the GopherCon and Sourcegraph Twitter accounts, crediting you and raising your profile to over 28,000 followers.

Access to presenter's slides

I am following up with presenters to get access to the slides, making it easier to include code snippets, images, and content.
