Purpose

Setup a simple web site, with an easy to remember URL: 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:

... 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.

Want to help making this website look better ? :)

Fell free to modify it and to submit a PR.

Clone de repository

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

A web server is run in a Docker container available on port 8000.
