DIF Open Group Repo Template

About

Use this repository template for DIF User Groups and Special Interest Groups, collectively referred to as Open Groups (OGs). It does the following:

• Contains the group's common files (such as license and contributing instructions) in the main branch
• Hosts the group's landing page in the gh-pages branch

Prerequisites

• DIF Steering Committee has approved the group's charter
• Group Chair / Proposer has filled out this form

See Create DIF Group documentation for more context.

Template Instructions

• main branch changes:
  • Add the approved group charter, in markdown format, as charter.md (use the Docs to Markdown extension)
  • Add chair github handles in the CODEOWNERS file.
  • Update links in AGENDA.md and set up hackmd integration
  • Update this README.md (see example content below)

  • Add group images into docs/images/. This includes photos of chairs and the group images.
  • Update index.html with relevant group and chair information

  • Update all of the links in AGENDA.md and set up hackmd integration
  • Check repo tags
