Issue templates for News and Events
Created by: fdesbiens
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We wish to give to our community the opportunity to submit news and events themselves for display on iot.eclipse.org
Describe the solution you'd like We need to create distinct GitHub issue templates for news and events.
Ideally, we would be able to cut and paste the filled template in a new md file and things would work out of the box.
For news, we need to collect:
- date
- title
- link (external url)
- description
For events, we need:
- date
- event date
- link (external url)
- location
- title
In addition, we need to add buttons to the iot.eclipse.org homepage that will redirect users to GitHub when clicked, with the correct issue template loaded. Those buttons could be in the header for the news and events lists on the home page, but could be elsewhere if you feel there is a better place.
Template loading simply happens in the GitHub URL, as shown below:

We would like to do the same for videos and blog entries, once events and news work well.
