First pass of what I'd call "usable" versions of the pages:
- Index
- About
- Tickets
There's some more work to be done in the year_con partial to represent each of the conference years.
The biggest change of this commit by far is the introduction/commonization of the partial 'features.html'. This is the behemoth of a partial that effectively gives us the options to show slide style content. At some point it might be advantageous to break it apart more, but it's relatively straightforward to include in a layout and start putting together pages.
Abner is the founder of Handmade Cities and sole organizer for our conferences. His professional story began when he left Puerto Rico for a yearlong internship at NASA. Abner was mentored on how they make software and after winning NASA’s Intern of the Year, he published an essay on their programming philosophy (featured in the news.) He was promoted to launch control engineers.
Abner also started the Handmade Network, an online community learning to make quality software. He went on to work for Jonathan Blow multiple years and then Cyan Worlds to help ship the Myst remake.
His concern of declining standards—both ethical and technical—pushed Abner to run tech conferences full-time, with ironclad conviction that we need independent organizers more than ever.
