Files Structure

• The main stylesheet is stored /css/.
• In /css/img you will find where the pictures are stored at, e.g. speakers.
• __pages is the folder for subpages.
• _2016_data and _2017_data are the folders that store each sections in home page. Those sections are can be removed by removing or commenting out the include code in _layout/home.html.
• _data/gdb_21/ contains data files for agenda, faqs, home about section data, speakers, and team members information. The data file is in the format of .yml. Folder names start with letters because otherwise there are liquid syntax errors.
