The map is for any SIA student, staff, alumnus and alumna. The SIA alumni include all individuals who have ever studied or worked at SIA. It’s about visualizing the distribution of the SIA alumni community. If you one of SIA, the map is for you!
No big deal: GitHub allows to generate static websites out of repositories. They make use of Jekyll, a ruby based generator. Jekyll comes with Liquid templates, which helped us to inject all our map entries within a JSON at the bottom of the HTML. JavaScript grabs the data and starts a nice Leaflet map with beautiful tiles provided by CARTO.
— Well, that’s it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sure, it’s open source! However, we don’t provide a release or some setup script. We’d recommend you to download the repo as zip file instead and make it run on your local machine first (see SETUP.md for instructions). Afterwards you’ll need to replace some SIA content with your community content, empty the _directory/data folder and start over with a shiny fresh map.
See SETUP.md for instructions.
