Add a contributing member

To add a new member (i.e. a person that is somehow involved in the organization of SORSE20, not a contributing author), modify the file _data/committee/members.yml. This file is a list of yaml hashes (in Python you would call it a list of dictionaries) that contains the author information.

Note that all elements but the name are optional. But if they are provided, they will be publicly available on the website!

The template for a new member is:

- name: Max Mustermann
  affiliation: An awesome university
  location: Belgrad, Belarus
  # the personal website of the member
  website: https://itsme.org
  # twitter username (will resolve to https://twitter.com/USERNAME)
  twitter: USERNAME
  # the work email address
  email: [email protected]
  # the github username
  github: github
  # an image. It can either be uploaded in the [assets/images](../blob/master/assets/images) folder, and referenced like the following example, or it can link to a remote image
  avatar: /assets/images/stephan-janosch.jpg
  # the teams that the person is involved
  teams:
    - deRSE
    - orga

Each item in the teams element must be contained as a key in one (and only one) of the following files:

• the national RSE chapters at _data/committee/national_chapters.yml
• the SORSE committees at _data/committee/committees.yml
• the programme committee subteam at _data/committee/programme_teams.yml

If the person is, for instance, in the Software demos team, you would add a software_demo element to the teams list above.

Everything else is done automatically (e.g. displaying the person on the contact page).
