The community website for PowerShell.org, built with Hugo and Tailwind CSS. It hosts podcasts, summit info, learning articles, author profiles, community resources, and landing pages for the open-source modules PowerShell.org stewards.
You're in the right place — most contributions don't require running the site at
all. CONTRIBUTING.md walks you through each one:
- Write a guest blog post — submit a Markdown Article via a GitHub issue form or a pull request. Articles are organized in
content/articles/by publication year and month. - Add your Author Profile — an avatar, bio, and links on your
/authors/<you>/page. Profiles are opt-in; your byline works without one. - Submit a community event — get your PowerShell event onto the calendar.
- Report a bug or broken link — open an issue.
The easiest paths (blog post, event) are GitHub issue forms — no Git, no local
setup. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the templates and front-matter.
If you'd like to see your article before submitting:
npm install npm run dev
This serves the site at http://localhost:1313 with hot-reload and draft posts
visible. Save your Markdown file and the browser updates automatically.
The Community Calendar automatically syncs upcoming events from Meetup links
in content/user-groups/. Add a group's Meetup URL to
its links front matter, then verify its public
https://www.meetup.com/<urlname>/events/ical/ feed contains the intended
events. The scheduled Sync Meetup Events workflow reads that public feed
and its linked event pages; no Meetup API key or OAuth token is required.
To preview the generated calendar changes locally without writing files:
node .github/scripts/sync-meetup-events.mjs --dry-run

Anything beyond adding content — theme and layout changes, the Tailwind/Font Awesome asset pipeline, the build, deployment, RSS, or the Discord mirror — is covered in the developer documentation:
docs/— developer docs index.docs/development.md— build, theme, assets, deploy, and troubleshooting.docs/adr/— architecture decision records (the why).CONTEXT.md— the project's shared vocabulary; read it before naming things or changing how content is modeled.
