## Purpose

Setup a simple web site, with an easy to remember URL: [http://sophia.events](http://sophia.events), and acting as a hub which lists the incoming technical events in Sophia-Antipolis.

## The rational

A lot of great stuff is happening in Sophia:

- meetups
  - [Docker](meetup.com/fr-FR/Docker-Nice)
  - [Hashicorp User Group](https://www.meetup.com/fr-FR/Sophia-Antipolis-HashiCorp-User-Group)
  - [CNCF](https://www.meetup.com/fr-FR/CNCF-Cloud-Native-Computing-Sophia-Antipolis/)
- events from [TelecomValley](https://telecomvalley.fr)
- events from [RivieraJug](http://rivierajug.org)
- ...

... but it's not always easy to follow all the sources.

Some people ask about a place that lists them all...  here is a simple attempt that tries to answer this need.

## How to run it

### Clone de repository

```
$ git clone https://github.com/lucj/sophia.events.git
```

### Run the wrapper scrip

```
$ cd www && ./test.sh
```

A web server is run locally, the timeline is available on port 8000

## Status
