From 065be7aac5191b5eaa72d35c63c3095c27847212 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: radiolabme Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 12:41:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] content: publish past speakers as an article; fix content schema MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Move the past-speakers list from the pages collection (which failed CI for a missing required 'title') to the articles collection with proper frontmatter. Lightly edit the voice out of first person — drop the time-travel framing and the trailing chat artifacts — and keep the speaker/topic entries for 2024–2026 intact.
