@dshean asked about the possibility of changing the website URL

We didn't put much thought into the website URL, but it's convenient to use GitHub pages hosting, which means the URL is fixed to the organization and repo name:

REPO -> WEBSITE
https://github.com/snowex-hackweek/website --> https://snowex-hackweek.github.io/website

A simpler option is maybe to map a custom domain name, so I think now that https://snowexdata.org exists, @micahjohnson150 or @hpmarshall could link the current website to that URL ? which would be nice because then no changes need to happen here
to #15 (comment)

That said, it's pretty straightforward to change website to whatever, such as jupyterbook, but that would require updating a number of files and causing some confusion for participants.

For future events we can map the organizational page to the jupyterbook, but we thought it might be nice to someday have a flashy landing page that leads to the jupyterbook... https://snowex-hackweek.github.io

I like the idea of using the snowexdata.org and even could see using a subdomain such as: hackweek.snowexdata.org.

Think it would also be nice to have the ability to navigate past hackweeks via e.g. hackweek-2021.snowexdata.org/ so you have a preserved history.

My suggestion would be to keep the repository name as is right now, link with a domain and next iteration use a more descriptive name for the repository.

@micahjohnson150 are you able to link the current website to hackweek-2021.snowexdata.org ?
