OpenHatch 0.11.09: Time zones and training missions
During September, we focused on events. We organized a Boston Software Freedom Day celebration and an Open Source Workshop at MIT. This focus on events guided the website changes that shipping during September as the 0.11.09 release.
Training missions changes
Students at the MIT workshop used the OpenHatch training missions. To prepare for that, and in response to bugs that attendees filed, we added some polish to missions. Particularly worth highlighting:
- It’s easier to browse the available missions because of a new visual layout for the missions.
- We also added up-to-date explanatory text to the top of the missions page.
- We organized the missions into groups by kind.
As always, if you have feedback on the training missions, let us know!
Events calendar gets time zone support
In August, we created an events calendar for the site at events.openhatch.org. We didn’t publicize the calendar much because it always showed the date in the one time zone configured on the server.
Clara Raubertas contributed changes to the events calendar that let it check the user’s time zone via JavaScript and show calendar events in that zone.
