# ATX BandC

Austin, TX Boards and Commissions

## Getting started

Prerequisites:

1. Be in a Virtualenv

2. Have ImageMagick installed. See `make install` in [`Makefile`](./Makefile)

Installing:

    make install

## How it works

This is a Django site, with models for Boards and Commissions, their meetings,

and the documents for each meeting. There's a scraper that hits each of their

websites and:

- grabs all the documents. Then the PDF documents:

  - have their text extracted

  - a thumbnail generated

- the documents are put into an RSS feed

## Deploying

I store images in the local filesystem for simplicity. To serve Django media in

production, you'll need a rule like this in Nginx:

```

location /media {

  root /data/bandc;

}

```
