beginners day unconferece

[dariagrudzien]

Add a detailed plan of the Beginners' Day Unconference, a part of the Sprints weekend.

The page looks like this: https://ep2025-unconference.ep-preview.click/beginners-day-unconference/

But I'm not able to add it to the menu 🤔

@clytaemnestra I've been trying to add Jodie as a reviewer, but I wasn't able to. Is there some way?

I have one very minor suggestion, which you're free to change or ignore (it's just a stylistic change).

I had a look and I can't for the life of me work out why this page isn't being added to the menu: it's in the correct place in links.json. The only thing that maybe looked a bit weird is that it's under "Social & Networking Events" in overview.astro, but I have no idea if that makes a difference.

@dariagrudzien, @t-redactyl we usually add everything to the menu and to the footer as well (for SEO purposes).

Looking at this PR, there's an entry for the footer:

but it's missing for the menu. This part should be updated and then it will appear up there as well 🙂

[clytaemnestra]

Looks great! Thanks for the PR and for preparing everything!

I have a few small ideas from my side. Feel free to ignore, if it doesn't align with your vision. These are just my random ideas.

1. What do you think about labeling the event as "In cooperation with Junior Guru"? It's on my list to contact Honza for official media partnership, but since he already advertises it, it might be good for him that JG is a partner of a big, international conference; and it might be easier to sell it for us because local people know JG. We can add JG to official media partners later, now we can put the JG logo at the beginning and advertise it as "JG & EP present: The Unconference Day" (something along those lines).
2. If I list down the page, it's full of text. I think it's good that every event is explained, but if people have never been at EP or any other unconference event, they might not feel the vibe from the text only and not know what to expect. We have lots of photos from Django Girls or Humble Data from previous years. It's different in a way that it's workshops, and it looks like that, but maybe we can reuse some photos ?

@clytaemnestra @dariagrudzien @t-redactyl any updates on this? Can we merge it?

[clytaemnestra]

I added the label do not merge. It's not ready yet, waiting for the tickets page to be finalized.

[t-redactyl]

I believe we're just waiting on @dariagrudzien to:

• Add the photos
• Add the reference to Junior Guru.

As per a discussion with Martin, we won't be adding the ticket link to this page any more - it will only be sent out through email once the attendee is accepted to a track.

@t-redactyl @clytaemnestra Updated PR as we discussed, addressing your reviews. Please in particular check:

• junior.guru logo and reference
• positioning of the unconference in the footer and events (I put them apart from Beginners' Day because otherwise it looked like a copy-paste mistake, but open to changing)
• wording around signup and the button

If you'd like to see some changes, please feel free to push directly into the PR and merge at will in the interest of time. Thank you for your patience!
