[Evergreen-web-team] Getting previous conference materials on to the community web site

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

As you know, the 2014 Conference Planning Committee put conference pages 
on the community web site instead of creating its own web site. When I 
first raised this idea at a web team meeting, a couple of people 
mentioned that they would also like to see previous conference web 
sites. Many web sites from previous conferences have bee taken down over 
time, and the community ultimately loses access to handouts and other 
conference information when that happens. I had envisioned eventually 
linking to the content from previous conferences here - 
http://evergreen-ils.org/conference/.

At this time, there are two web sites from previous conference that are 
still online: the 2011 conference 
http://pines.georgialibraries.org/evergreen2011/ and the 2013 
conference  http://eg2013.sitka.bclibraries.ca/. Although the 2012 web 
site has already been taken down, there was considerable discussion in 
IRC at the time about retrieving the content from the site - 
http://irc.evergreen-ils.org/evergreen/2013-08-26#i_24426. If I'm 
reading the discussion right, it looks like Dan Scott was able to 
successfully mirror the site.

Now that I am done with conference planning, I would like to work 
towards moving previous conference materials to the community web site. 
I have a few questions:

- Do we want to move conference handouts to the web site or are we 
looking to mirror the previous conference web sites?
- If it's the latter, how do we go about doing this?

Thanks for your thoughts on this!

Kathy
