Update events right from Meetup API

Thanks to Jekill this is a static website so as a limitation we can't make calls to any REST API from our pages. As a workaround here are the instructions for updating local files under _data/ using curl to generate files that can be easly accessed by Liquid Templating System.

1. Go to scripts folder.
2. Run sh meetup_get_events.sh - key YOUR_API_KEY using your own key.
3. This will update the latest 10 events in _data/meetup/events.json from our existing Meetup Group.
4. Verify running it locally and finally push it to master branch to publish it.

Information for nerds?

This website was built on Jekyll.

Instructions

Follow these steps to run it locally or go to this temporaly url to check it out.

1. Install Jekyll environment.
2. Edit Gemfile file and comment out the following line since this is required only for GitHub Pages:

gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins

3. Then:

$ bundle install
$ bundle exec jekyll serve --watch

Please leave comments and feedback.

Enjoy!
