The August 2024 meeting of LRUG will be on Monday the 12th of August, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm (meeting starts at 6:30pm).

Agenda

Turn Left for Bridgetown: An overview of a next-generation static(ish) site generator

Ayush says:

Bridgetown is a modern progressive site generator with Jekyll ancestry. Allow me to be your guide as I take you on a whistle-stop tour of its biggest and best features; and show you how it brings Ruby-powered site generation into 2024.

Afterwards

After the talks are finished, and we've tidied up the venue a bit, we head over to a local pub for some food and drinks and the opportunity to chat with each other.

Of course, even though this is the socialising part and seems more informal, please remember that still we consider it to be a part of the meeting and covered by our code of conduct.

Secure your place
