Is it really a static html website or are there any dynamic contents which require a framework? User login? Registration?

Well not only a folder, we need to setup a few things to make the website able to be built at least locally.

When ready we will get in touch with infra to sync out the work in our fedora-web role on ansible.

As it is a new website and you work in a separated folder it doesn't matter where we add it, also on master branch would be ok, because we don't build it for now.

I'm very new to websites list, so I may be unaware of any SOP that
predates my joining. That being said, I have been hanging out with
Fedora-infra for a while, and whenever they do new sites, there are
some tools/practices they use:

0) We should use revision control (git)
1) We should host the repository on Pagure.io (and mirror on Github?)
2) We should serve the content on OpenShift (like past FLOCK websites)
or on maybe hosted infra?

Yeah, we use git but we don't use pagure and don't want to use github.

Our web repo is just fine and if the pages are static there is no need to use Openshift.

Them's my thoughts:
--RemyD.

Paul, maybe we can deepen the discussion more on IRC to find out the best solution for the next Flock events.

I would be happy to replace also our fudcon.fp.o website with the new solution and adapt it to the Fudcon websites, although this is now OT here.

See you soon.
