Generating an RSS feed #200

Hi all. This is a cross-post between GH and our
mailing list.
@Neville, mucho thanks for creating this issue.

It would be nice to have an RSS feed for the website.
`make publish` and `publish.conf` generate the RSS feed. IIUC, [the Github Action](https://github.com/nairobilug/nairobilug.or.ke/blob/e221c4403fa28d9b21e4a8c11bf2212a5007ad71/.github/workflows/updatewebsite.yml#L27) does not use the _publish_ config and thus the feed is not available.
... let's first work out the domain business
first. I suggest that you create a separate issue
for this.
I also found old PRs that seem to add icons and links for the RSS feeds: #17 and #24.
Since the website is down, I can't conclusively tell whether the feed is available.
I reckon this was solved. Eebrah has been
gracious enough to help out with the domain all
these years at his expense. Much thanks for this!
You are an OG \m/\m/. That said, for most of the
older generation members, the band-width to manage
some of the LUG stuff may be demanding and as a
consequence we've had several down-times this year
that have either gone (a) un-noticed or (b)
un-attended to. As a work-around, here's what I
propose:
- Let's work out a way to transfer the domain from
Eebrah to nairobilug[at]gmail[dot]com.
Currently, the domain IIUC is hosted on
eacdirectory; I don't know how easy it is to
make the transfer, but I bet it's do-able. With
regards to financing the domain renewal, I
wouldn't mind taking that responsibility. Any
one else interested can chip in.
- Document, probably in an authors/contribs.md or
some similar file, which maintainers have access
to what, and their gpg public keys. The most
relevant resources I can think of at this time
are: twitter a/c, and gmail a/c. We could
reduce the bus-factor in maintaining these a/c
and also breathe in some life in to them. On
this note, I would like to request access to the
gmail and twitter a/c if the core guys are
down with it. My gpg keys can be found in my
mail signature.
- Should ownership change hands, we could rotate
passwords for the relevant a/c.
- Set up a cheap monitor for the site.
UptimerRobot should work well.
Other ideas that have been proposed in the past:
- Set up a public ledger and host it somewhere.
Track all contribs there. HLedger works well.
It has a nice web-ui. This is not a low-hanging
fruit, so we can ignore this. Perhaps re-visit
this later.
What y'all think? How do we get the ball rolling?
All opinions are welcome.
PS: I've Cc'ed most of the folks who I recall
being really active in the LUG. If it's spammy,
please let me know, I'll remove you off the Cc in
future threads.

Happy to help with domain. Most registrars will allow two people, one
owner and an administrator. There does need to be an owner that is a
legal entity.
Adding some information in the repo, and possibly also the site about
who does what is a good idea. Adding forwarding addresses on the domain
would also be great, for example ***@***.***

TIL!

I reckon it's easier to just have a volunteer be
that legal entity.

who does what is a good idea. Adding forwarding addresses on the domain
would also be great, for example ***@***.***
These are solid ideas.
I'll see who I can ping to get things rolling.
