I updated the conference announcement and added a second announcement
for the CfP:
https://github.com/php/web-php/pull/147
Let me know if you need me to make any changes to it.
Thanks,
Beth

Thank you for the clarification. If I am reading your comments correctly,
I would need to submit a second item so we would be listed under the CfP
and the Upcoming Conferences, correct? If so, I will update the original
news item to only discuss the conference and will submit a new one for the
CfP.
Hi, yes that's the more usual approach (and the only way to get listed
under both titles). Two separate news entries, one for the CfP and (usually
at a later time, but not always) a conference announcement proper. :)
Thanks,
Beth

Ack, I must have messed that up when I was merging the conflict. The
conference is now showing up on the website under conferences, but not
under the open CfPs section. What needs to be done to get it listed
there
too?
The current setup is such that it gets added on the homepage only under
one
of those two lists.
Which list is chosen, is dictated by the first <category> in the entry
XML
file. In your case (i.e. in 2017-02-24-1.xml) you have two <category>
elements, and the first has term="conferences", so the entry shows up
under
the "Upcoming Conferences" list on the homepage. If you were to switch
the
two <category> elements, so that term="cfp" came first, then it would be
listed under "Conferences calling for papers".
This is partly why we prefer separate news entries for CfPs and more
general conference announcements. Indeed, some work [1] has been done to
enforce that.
So, back to you Beth, if you would prefer it to be listed under the CfP
list on the homepage, then we just need to swap the <category> elements
around or remove the term="conferences" one (with the latter, CfPs still
show up under php.net/conferences anyway).
Hope that helps,
Peter

How long is the delay between a PR being merged and the conferences
showing up on the website? My PR was merged more than 24 hours ago,
but
the
conference is still not showing up on the website or in the CfP list.
I'm
just wondering if something was wrong with my PR or if this is normal
for
it to take this long to show up? The conference in question is Madison
PHP
Conference 2017 (2016 and 2015 show up on the website, but not 2017),
and
this is the PR in question:
https://github.com/php/web-php/pull/142#issuecomment-282673754
Hi Beth,
The PR didn't add the news entry to archive.xml (it was lost when you
changed the date of the entry file), which is what stopped it from
showing
up on the site. I have added it for you [1].
About how long updates should take, the script to take the XML and
generate
include files for the website runs every 10 minutes [2]. Then it's up
to
the rsync schedule for each mirror, but I believe they're syncing in
the
region of every 5 to 15 minutes (that's what we ask for on the
mirroring
page [3]). So, any news entries should (fingers crossed) show up
within
say 25 minutes being merged, certainly if it becomes hours then
something
is wrong.
