Hack4Impact Member Bios

This repository contains basic information about Hack4Impact members that will be displayed on the organization website (or will be soon!).

Feel free to open a pull request to update your information at any time, but please do not commit to master or merge the request without approval.

Instructions

Member Text

Copy the template below into a new file firstname-lastname.md. Each member bio is a Markdown file with a YAML header marked by ---. The header contains some metadata, and the document body should contain paragraphs about you.

Header fields

Template metadata:

• layout: Don't change this. This should always have the value profile. It's used internally by the site generator (Jekyll) to render the Markdown file into a webpage.

Biographical info:

• first_name: Your first name.
• last_name: Your last name.
• class_of: Your (expected) graduating class.

Contact information (each of these fields are optional, so only include the ones you want):

• email: An email address that can be used to contact you. Note that this address will be made public, so you may want to set up mail filters or use a different email than your primary one if you choose to include an email.
• website: The URL of your personal website.
• github: Your GitHub username (not URL).
• twitter: Your Twitter handle, without the leading @.
• linkedin: The URL of your LinkedIn profile (their username conventions are somewhat inconsistent).

  role: External Relations Chair

Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A
renowned polymath, Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist,
politician, freemason, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist,
statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American
Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories
regarding electricity.

Member Photo

Each member's photo should be named firstname-lastname.jpg. Additionally, each photo should be square and resized to 600 x 600. This can be done on the command line using ImageMagick:

$ brew install imagemagick
$ convert <firstname-lastname>.jpg -gravity center -resize 600x600^ -extent 600x600 <firstname-lastname>.jpg
