Deadline format

The deadline field can contain:

The simplest option: a date and time in ISO format. Example: ["2017-08-19 23:59"] (Note that you need to wrap even a single deadline in a list).
If a deadline is rolling, you can use a template date, just substitute the year with %y and the year before the conference with %Y. Example: ["%y-01-15 23:59"] means there is a deadline on the 15th January in the same year as the conference.
A list of (1) or (2). Example of two rolling deadlines, with one in the end of October in the year prior to the conference year, and the second in the end of February in the same year as the conference:

- "%Y-10-31 23:59"
- "%y-02-28 23:59"

If the deadline has not yet been announced, use ["TBA"] as the deadline for the conference (case sensitive.) It will show up at the bottom of future conferences.

On the page, all deadlines are displayed in viewer's local time (that's a feature).

Note: If the deadline hour is {h}:00, it will be automatically translated into {h-1}:59:59 to avoid pain and confusion when it happens to be midnight in local time.

Timezones

Please remember that the timezone should be AoE (Anywhere on Earth) when you submit a pull request.

Local Development

Building Using Docker

Build using docker run -it -p 4000:4000 -v $(pwd)/site:/site itzg/jekyll-github-pages which will start a server at http://localhost:4000 and store the built site at _site/. Remove the Gemfile and Gemfile.lock it creates after it is done.

Serving Using Docker

Use docker compose up to start a server that displays the page at http://localhost:4000 that will watch for changes. Reload the page when you make a change to view it. This will take a while to start, don't worry.

Note

The note field can be used to indicate additional information about a deadline. For example, if an abstract is required before the deadline.
