For repositories for Py-YYC meetups, fork this repository and rename them. Create files in the _posts folder of the gh-pages branch to make presentation slides. The github pages for this project (at py-yyc.github.com/name-of-repo) will be the presentation for the meetup.

To anyone with CSS-chops, please play around with the styling of this base presentation to define the Py-YYC theme. Consider this an opportunity to hone your SCSS skills.

This repository has been forked from the Hekyll repository. The authors Brian McMurray (bmcmurray) and Steven Merrill (smerrill) deserve credit for this.

Hekyll is a presentation generator that uses Jekyll and Impress.js to create awesome presentations. You write Markdown files, which get turned into individual slides for an Impress.js presentation.

Hekyll should:

• Make it easy for hackers to write graphically-impressive presentations in Markdown.
• Allow easier collaboration on these presentations through GitHub.
• Allow users to commit and publish their presentations through GitHub using GitHub Pages.
• Provide a good print stylesheet so that a user can print to PDF when conferences ask for slide decks.
• Provide a simple slideshow mode for generating quick, regular slide shows (simple cross-fades between slides without the need to individually position each slide "Prezi-style."
• Provide an easy way of dropping in new presentation themes.

1. Download and install Jekyll.
2. Download or clone the Hekyll repository.
3. Configure options in _config.yml
4. Create a new Markdown file for each slide in _posts. Use the post_template.md as a starting point. Be sure to name each file with a date, just like Jekyll.

This project stands on the shoulders of giants and would not be possible without these projects:

• impress.js
• Jekyll
• GitHub Pages
