Description

The Logistics/Communications team were discussing how to print signs that might be reusable year after year for the conference to help cut down on future costs. Something that was useful last year was having a QR code on the printed signage that directs to the conference website. It'd be great if we could have a QR code that just... works year after year so we don't have to print new signs.

There were a couple options:

  1. Pay for a dynamic QR code service
  2. Add in a redirect mechanism to the base us-rse.org website that takes a static page and redirects to our URL of choice

We are going with option 2 which creates a page "https://us-rse.org/events/conference/current" (a page that doesn't exist) and immediately redirects to the URL of choice. The overhead this adds is that the next year's organizers need to change this file to point to most recent year's URL (e.g., next year it would need to be changed to https://us-rse.org/usrse25), but it's a free and totally workable option.

Checklist:

  • I have previewed changes locally or with CircleCI (runs when PR is created)
  • I have completed any content reviews, such as getting input from relevant working groups. If no, please note this and wait to post the PR to the #website channel until the content has been settled.

When you are ready for a technical review/merge, post the for the link for the PR in the US-RSE Slack (#website) to ask for reviewers.

Preview: current

But it doesn't work in the CircleCI because CircleCI previews hate clicking between pages
