Stefano Lottini created CASSANDRA-17988:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: A dedicated "events" section on Cassandra website
Key: CASSANDRA-17988
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17988
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation/Website
Reporter: Stefano Lottini
Attachments: events1.png, events2.png
This is a proposed "Events" section on the Cassandra website, listing
(approved) events as small cards with a picture, a short description and a link
to the external event website.
The motivation behind this idea, which was discussed briefly on the
[cassandra-website|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-website]
Slack channel as well, is twofold: on one hand, it is desirable to provide this
information to website visitors, which helps building the community through
dedicated events; on the other hand, the Cassandra blog is preferrably not
'clogged' with too many event announcements so that it can retain its primary
"technical" role.
I tried to create a page that blends in with the rest of the website
experience, but while doing so I had to make some choices. In particular, I
propose an icon for the section (a circus tent) that I hope conveys a "playful
but not silly" message; moreover, I added the "Events" page to the "Community"
navbar menu to avoid adding another menu, even though all other "Community"
menu items are from the community page.
Also I am aware that the buttons alignment on the cards is imperfect. I blame
my (very limited) css knowledge, this is of course something to improve if ever
this draft gets accepted.
The PR (which probably should be taken as a WIP, for the aforementioned button
alignment issues if nothing else) is here:
