Every Next Billion Fellow has the opportunity to share their story in at least two places (though we hope you'll share elsewhere, as well): The Ethereum Foundation Blog, and The Next Billion Story Archive.
Every Next Billion Fellow has a folder in this repository that will display whatever information the fellow would like to present that relates to their story and activities during the duration of the Fellowship.
The page is formatted in markdown, which can display most commonly used text styles including headings, block quotes, and tables, as well as HTML styling. To begin with, story pages contain a one-paragraph description of the project that the Fellow applied with.
Over the course of your fellowship and after its completion, you may want to add or amend the content. You can change or update your page at any time through a pull request on github. If you don't have a github account, make one!
The Next Billion website repository is located at https://github.com/ethereum/nxbn-website
Fellowship stories are in the folder `public/content/fellowship/.
All fellows have a unique folder in which their story lives as a markdown file titled index.md
For example, Mulenga's story is inside public/content/fellowship/Mulenga/index.md
The easiest way to change the content of index.md is to use the in-browser code editor that github provides.
Github will ask you to Fork the Repository. Do so! Forking helps keep open-source contributions organized, so that everyone can have their own version of a codebase without affecting the work of others. You will use a pull request to merge your proposed changes with the main website branch.
Once your changes are saved on your Fork, you can submit them to the main website repository in the form of a pull request.
The changes will be reviewed by a nxbn-website maintainer, and added to the next website update.
Before your change goes live, you will receive a deploy preview link to see what it looks like live on the website. You can make new changes if it doesn't look quite how you expected, or want to do something different.
This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.
First, run the development server:
yarn devOpen http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
