How will you know when to make a ‘News’ item?

Malika will write to you when you have to create a news item about something and she will also provide you all important information that needs to be included,

Creating a new news item

  1. Using the GitHub workflow, create an issue (if Malika already hasn’t) in the lmu-osc.github.io repo, title it “Add News Item title of news item”, and use it to create a new branch.
  2. In your local copy, switch to this branch
  3. Navigate to news → news → templates folder (!!!NOTE: there is no template .qmd - to ask Pat about)
  4. Make a copy of the _news_template.qmd file and follow the instructions to fill it out according to the News item details
  5. Change the name of the new .qmd file by following this format: YYYY-MM-DD-short-slug
