Configuration

Site content is driven by YAML files in config/:

• meta.yml — Site name, description, OG image, member count
• team.yml — Leadership team members for each campus
• socials.yml — Discord, GitHub, LinkedIn, Instagram links
• sponsors.yml — Current sponsors
• sponsorship_tiers.yml — Sponsorship tier names, prices, and perks

Deployment

Merging to master triggers an automatic deploy via GitHub Actions.
