# openbsd-webzine

Repository of the [OpenBSD Webzine](https://webzine.puffy.cafe/)

# Workflow

Everything related to writing a new issue is under `issues` directory.

## New issue

- copy `_template` directory under a name like `issue-X` with `X` being the new issue number
- delete the symlink `current` and recreate it with the new issue as the target

I.e.

```
$ cd issues
$ cp -r _template issue-3
$ ln -fs issue-3 current
```

## Edit an issue

- cd into `issues/current/` and edit files as needed
- categories that are empty should be commented out using HTML comments
- when you recreate the issues with `make`, the one in development is generated in `../dev/`
- use `make test` to automatically copy the current issue to `/tmp/openbsd-webzine` directory and open it in a web browser

# Contributing

Anyone can contribute by doing the following:

- English proofreading
- translation into other languages
- content contribution

There are many ways to contribute - here is a list by order of preference (easier to handle):

1. make an account on tildegit, fork the project, create a new branch with changes, and send us Pull Requests (it's easy once you get how this work - see "Git usage" below)
2. make a local commit from a freshly updated cloned repository and use `git format-patch` to send an email to a contributor (currently _solene_) so your commit can be merged into the repository easily
3. send a simple diff to a contributor
4. open an issue
5. speak on IRC / XMPP / email

# What content?

For each issue we will try to write about these topics:

- job offers related to OpenBSD (if any)
- big changes landing in _-current_
- syspatch and digest of package updates in _-stable_
- interviews with developers or professionals using OpenBSD (if any)
- tips about shell or OpenBSD
- comments from readers
- links to OpenBSD content
- a piece of artwork
- a few interesting links to social media

## Git usage

Fork this project and clone your own fork, then add the upstream repo.

```
$ git clone git@tildegit.org:foo/openbsd-webzine.git
$ cd openbsd-webzine
$ git remote add upstream https://tildegit.org/solene/openbsd-webzine.git
```

Keep your fork sync with upstream.

```
$ git pull upstream main
```

You can now edit files.

At last, add modified files and commit:

```
$ git add issue-*/
$ git commit -m "message"
$ git push
```

You can now ask for your Pull Request to get merged.

# How to translate

There is a first step to support multilanguage, I would prefer having at least one webzine issue translated in another language to enhance the support to see how we can do this even better.

For now, the steps to translate are:

- pick a prefix for your language, like `fr` for French or `de` for German, I'll use `fr` in the example
- make a fork of this repository on tildegit or clone locally and use `git-format-patch` to send me patches
- in the directory `issues/` you can find a directory per issue. In an issue directory run `cat [0-9]*.html > fr_index.html` to create a file from the English content
- edit `fr_index.html` to do the translation in place
- submit the new file

If you prefer, you can split the files as long as they all start with the language prefix.
