#544 Countdown for FUDCon APAC 2015
Closed: Invalid Opened by pravins.

Hi,

You might be already know that FUDCon APAC 2015 [1] is happening on 26-28 June 2015.

We are planning to add countdown kind of things on website and other possible places.

Can we get help for this? please let me know what more information is required.

I don't understand your request. You want to add a countdown to FUDCon or want help for this? Where?

We don't add any countdowns even for major events like Flock or FUDCons. We promote these events actually through http://fudcon.fedoraproject.org or linking to their own website.

Are you referring to the banner we have for release that says "Fedora 22 releases in X days" and so on? Like the one discussed here? https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/ticket/276

ankursinha Thanks for reply. Yeah, looking something like this for fudcon.in website.

Ah, OK. As the other ticket I linked to explains you need images of different sizes (and in different languages if you'd want that) for each count down - the script basically just does the math and loads a new static image. The design team generally does the images, which is the major portion of work required for this.

I'll wait for robyduck to chime in, though - he knows exactly how much work this takes and so on.

Let me know what size images required. We can provide something like https://twitter.com/priynag/status/608955618108395520 quickly.

As Ankur said, it's a huge work for the design team. For the Fedora counter they produced (we don't use this anymore) about 800 banners for all languages and days. A Python script does the math and gets the banner for every language. This is done with a makefile, which runs every hour and makes it easy to do these kind of scripts in static pages.

http://fudcon.in/ is done with Drupal, so it's PHP, which works in another way. You could create yourown module or view, but also just add a script within a block. I'm not sure if it is worth for you to make a script for 10 days or just update the banner manually and keep only an english banner.

Sure. Same time conference is happening just next week. We will simple create images and update on website.

Thanks closing ticket.
