Meetup 3: How ocaml.org is built with Dream
Shakthi Kannan introduced us to how the ocaml.org website is built.
You need to first install Opam (OCaml Package Manager) on your system, and a demo video is available.
The OCaml.org website sources are at OCaml.org. After cloning the repository, you need to run:
$ make switch
$ make start
A dashboard of good-first-issues to contribute to the OCaml.org web project are available.
We had a casual round of discussion about embedded systems as some of the attendees write embedded software for a living. Of course, mirage.io came up!
Next meetup: May 19th, 2pm.
We continue where we left off last weekend. You can find the code repository on Github org. You can reach out me on X at @ManasJayanth if you have any trouble. I recommend you set it up and install the dependencies to save time during the call :)
Setting up OCaml and Reason tools isn't easy for everyone. Please reach out to us on Discord if you're lost setting up the tools.
