Information on using github for the collection of eo4geo training material content

The following guidelines apply to eo4geo partners who contribute training material content on the basis of the Reveal JS template:

• To create your own training material deriving from the EO4GEO_RevealTemplate, follow the instructions below:

  1. Specify your GitHub Account or email in the T4.3 Training Material Speadsheet. Please put the account names of all persons who should be added to the repository in the according field, seperated by a comma.
  2. A repository containing the "reveal template" will be made available to you ASAP. Within this repository, you can commit and manage your own contributions.
  3. To check your progress and see a hosted version of your material, you can use GitHub Pages by going to settings -> Scroll down to GitHub Pages -> Choose "Master" as Source. Please note that it might take several minutes until changes you have made are rolled out to GitHub Pages. It is also advisable to check regularily if the hosting of the html works without issue on GitHub Pages. Small bugs or inconsitencies might not cause problems on your local machine, but cause severe issues as soon as the hmtl is hosted via the internet.
  4. Images used in the slides are to be hosted on the eo4geo.sbg.ac.at file hosting server and referenced in the HTML code by link only. To upload images and receive a permalink to said images, use a SFTP/SSH Client like FileZilla and get into contact with [email protected] to be provided with the login information.

• One repository for every entry on the T4.3 Training Material List is created, meaning one seperate slideshow for every "unit". If you want to combine several units to one repository, please contact [email protected]

• The template might be issue to updates and fixes. If this is the case, these changes will not be rolled out to your repository automatically. You can check if a merge via GitHub is possible without interference, but otherwise the adaptations need to be made in your repository manually.

• If you consider particular changes/adaptions to the template are necessary or advisable, please get in contact with PLUS.
