Archive PloneConf 2024, prepare for PloneConf 2025

[stevepiercy]

The following tasks need to be performed to archive a snapshot of the trainings from PloneConf 2024 and prepare for PloneConf 2025. @stevepiercy, @polyester, and others will perform these tasks.

• Curate trainings to retain or remove for 2025 #906
• Cut branch 2024 from main
• Create Branch protection rule 2024 in https://github.com/plone/training/settings/branches, using 2023 as an example.
• Create environment 2024 at https://github.com/plone/training/settings/environments.
  • In the environment 2024, create environment variable DEPLOY_PATH_TRAINING to use the path on the server /var/www/2024.training.plone.org. The other variables and the secret are inherited at the repository level. The secret DEPLOY_KEY_TRAINING is stored in our REDACTED_SECRET_STORAGE_TOOL, and its name is "dplone_training_rsa kupu training user deploys github DEPLOY_KEY_TRAINING".
  • In the environment 2024, add deployment branch rule 2024 with the pattern of 2024.
• Add a new key for 2024 in https://github.com/plone/ai-team-private/blob/master/ansible/host_vars/kupu.yml#L109-L115. (@fredvd plans to migrate this old Ansible deployment configuration to a modern one.)
• Configure DNS for 2024.training.plone.org
• Configure web server for 2024.training.plone.org
• Sync 2024 branch with main except for 2024 configuration, just before archival.
• Update branch 2024, docs/conf.py for:
  • project
  • version
  • release
  • html_baseurl
  • html_theme_options[announcement]
  • ogp_site_url
  • ogp_image
  • ogp_site_name
  • logo[text]
• Update 2024 branch .github/workflows/build_deploy.yml using 2023 branch as an example.
• Update main branch, docs/_templates/404.html with archive link.
• Update main branch, docs/index.md to list the 2024 archive.
• Remove trainings from the main branch to archive them.
• Update branch main, docs/conf.py for:
  • intersphinx_mapping
  • exclude_patterns
  • source_replacements
• Run make linkcheckbroken
• Ensure 2024 branch deploys to 2024.training.plone.org

I would archive anything not updated/reviewed in the last "year".

@ichim-david has stated he is working on Volto Add-ons Development to update it with Cookieplone and Volto 18. ❤ I have updated the description.

[stevepiercy]

@ichim-david said to go ahead and archive Volto Add-ons Development for now, and when he gets around to updating it, we can resurrect it.

With that, I give the green light to start the archive process, and start asking the @plone/ai-team members to help push this forward.
