osgeo's Issues

Add section on Geocat "Most Innovative Developer Award"

@Delawen can you help with this.

How do we migrate/ressurect OSGeo Journal?

https://journal.osgeo.org/index.php/journal/index

Aspect ratio of Local chapters logos distorted on mobile

On my mobile device (android, chrome) the aspect ratio of the logos on the "local chapters" page is distorted (too high / squeezed).

Projects should be able to be of multiple types

Some projects are BOTH OSGeo and KDE for instance

service provider page number of employees

The data collection form has:

Organization Type

1. Individual Consultant
2. Small organization (1-25 employees)
3. Mid to large organization (>25 employees)

GeoForAll logo not working, broke image upload and crop

Filling in details for http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/geo-for-all-labs/ngi/

And I cannot define the logo for the lab by selecting an existing photo:

GeoForAll Lab missing website URL field

The form for a GeoForAll lab is missing a place to put website url link.

Only OSGeo Projects should be presented on the initial landing page of Projects

Perhaps this can be done with a filter that will be enabled by default?

Filters not working

Attivarti.org in GeoForAll Labs?

Not sure if this is a GeoForAll Lab or if it belongs somewhere else on the site?

http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/geo-for-all-labs/attivarti-org/

Make Initiative for OSGeo participation in Google Summer of Code

Can this repository be used also to store a promotional poster of the: OSGeo-GSoC program?

Cannot add GitHub account in a profile

GitHub is not in the social media list

feedback on project and local chapter templates

Few feedback on project and local chapter template:

• google+ icon doesn't show on communication section
• less space between core activities title and specs
• the header is big, maybe reduce a little bit the fond or the top-bottom pagging/margin

In the admin project page

• core features admin page: maybe this should be a list to select values, otherwise add a comment how to add them (what should go in the title and what on spec otherwise we could find also a really long list). Maybe the list of title could be the same of topics (in the right side of the form)
• license should a list of selectable values #111
• under license there is "Specs" but I cannot understand what they are #112
• in the communication tab is it possible to add RSS feeds and IRC channel ?
• in the social icon is it possible to add flickr, github, too? (maybe also others) #71

Add resources to GeoForAll Subheader

Members should be able to be more than one type

Many people are charter members, part of a project team and on a committee. This should be a multi select.

Combine Project and Topics and Technologies

I am finding projects like QGIS and OSGeo-Live incorrectly listing themselves as it is not obvious that Level 1 Topics and Level 2 Technologies are related.

I noticed when editing Technologies "Integrated" --> "Portal" that individuals items can form a tree. Can we change to the following tree structure to prevent confusion?

Topics

Publish
- Content Management
- Catalog
- Data
Mapping and Cartogrpahy
- Desktop Mapping
- Mapping Services
- Mobile Mapping
Analysis and Processing
- Desktop Anaysis
- Web Processing
- Data Query
- Raster Processing
Information Technology
- Data
- Web Services
- Client
- Cloud
- Portal
Development
- Web Development
- Tools
- Libraries
- Mobile Development

Technologies can then be removed, since it is causing confusion for projects trying to list themselves

Member profile - feedback and questions

In the member web page template

• The website should be bigger, maybe use a header "Website" like "Company" and under the click-able name of the website
• The space between lines in the right column with the website/company/... are really strange, I would prefer less space between title and value instead of between the value and the next title..

In the profile admin page:

• I cannot understand where modify the text because the "Biographical Info" go immediately under the header
• Languages could be a selectable list?

In the members http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/community/members/ web page:

• the boxes (both image and text) are too big

SEO Analysis wrong/inconsistent

What text?

https://kb.yoast.com/kb/error-text-contains-0-words/

"f you’re using a page builder that does not share their content, please contact their development team to request compatibility with the Yoast SEO keyword analysis. They can learn more about this functionality here."

Resource form misses license, language, format and more

In comparison to the edu content inventory (e.g. http://www.osgeo.org/node/1592), the resource form does not have a field for a:

• license (e.g. can I reuse commercially?)
• (natural) language
• format (that's good to know what you will get when you get there; a web page, website, GitHub repo with Markdown files, PDF, ...?).

The level of experience (Graduate Students, Intermediate GIS Users, Mid-career, ...) and multiple URLs are also missing, but I can see good reasons to leave them out (e.g. unclear definitions).

Bulk import service provider are all located in "Basel, Switzerland"

All in title

Add individual pages for each Sol Katz award year

Add news to GeoForAll sub header

Colors in Branding Style Guide are not consistent

The page 9 of the Branding Style Guide shows the two main colors in the logo and as squares, but these don't fit with "for digital" and "for web" definitions.

Text says: #4cb05b #00393F
Colors are: #4dbf5e #12343A

Image shows the difference (part of page 9 modified in Inkscape):

I don't have a good way to check the "for print/press" and "for printingpress" right now.

The rest of the guide seems to use the values I acquired from the boxes (or logo), not the one from the text.

Broken Mailing lists and Newsletters links

Both links are broken:

Additional social media contact points for "lets connect" section

Sandro has provided the following feedback via email:

Speaking of which, it would be nice to add some free places in the "find us" section at the bottom-right corner of those pages, right now listing facebook, linkedin and twitter accounts.

How about adding a link to the Matrix room #osgeo:matrix.org for a start http://matrix.to/#/#osgeo:matrix.org

Even better to also have presence on one node in the so-called "fediverse" (Mastodon, GNUSocial, Diaspora and friends...) but that requires more than just a link...

I believe that these are other social networks

Service Provider "Core Contributor" classification

core contributor - this is not a radio option, core contributor is per project.

This is a data model problem for us to solve, how to handle link between project and service provider. We have three kinds of links: "core contributor" (decide by project team), "contributor" (decided by project team), and "other" (decided by service provider).

Long titles break resource cards

Member Profile - Select Member Type and recognition of member participation

This is single selection which does not reflect our needs (personally I am a charter member, committee member and project steering committee member).

Options to resolve:

• Use checkboxes, see #42
• Use a single charter member checkbox - relying on cross link to project pages, and committee pages and geoforall labs to capture member participation.

Examples:

• http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/member/jody-garnett/

Related issues:

• Duplicate: #42
• Enhancement: #14 Request for more participation icons on member page

Search Not working

Update the wiki with the new branding

default thumbnail/snippet image should be OSGeo Logo or correct image

See when shared via Facebook. Should NOT be GeoCat image.

And this one SHOULD be GeoCat, but not GeoSolutions :)

Add cards for Committees

And an example committee page.

No Donate button on home page

We currently have a donate button on the home page which allows people to make small donations via PayPal. We used this feature to crowdfund part of the of Travel Grant Programme.

Can we get that button recreated on the home page pls

Resource form misses relation to a project

The Resource form mentions relation to event or committee, but it never explicitly mentions relation to the software project. I was transferring http://www.osgeo.org/node/1592 there and I missed filed for related OSGeo (software) projects, other open source software, and any other software. What I did I put GRASS GIS to tags but that seemed not sufficient.

See if we can migrate all the old service providers

Try this

projects: add capability to list non-OSGeo member contributors

Currently you can only add as core contributors of a project people who have a account in the website. Could be useful to link to github account as well for example

StyleGuide lists incorrect light color, readme is correct

The "For Web" hex and "Digital" decimal colors don't match for the Light color listed in the PDF. The Readme appears correct.

https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/marketing/branding/styleguide-osgeo.pdf
https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/marketing/branding/README.md

PS: I'm looking at commit bb6dc57

How can I connect events to local chapters?

On the local chapters page it says Events

• http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/local-chapters/fossgis-e-v/

How can I connect an event to a local chapter so that it shows up at the local chapters page?

Where is the page about incubation

@jodygarnett where should this go in the IA?

Service providers: logos missing for Mundialis and CartoLogic

On page http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/service-providers/ the logos of CartoLogic and Mundialis (which is really written "mundialis") are not yet there.

Here the mundialis logo: https://files.mundialis.de/mundialis_logo/mundialis_logo_white_blue.png

OSGeo experience and roles icons needed

I believe we would need also OSGeo experience and roles icons, which we use in OSGeo wiki pages, eg. [1].

[1] https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/File:OSGeo_charter.png

Support for non osgeo projects

The project marker is limited to "OSGeo Project" and "OSGeo community" markers. Not all open source spatial projects are from our organization, please expand this list to include:

Here is the affected page - http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/projects/jts/

Members: Paging does not work

http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/community/members/ Does not seem to include a way to page through the results.

Add 'Store' to the menu

Add the store to the menu under Community

Migrate GeoForAll form to Wordpress Form

This request from the geofroall community is a request for an easier way for their members to register a new GeoForAll lab (rather than teaching everyone wordpress).

There are two workflows to consider:

• Google Form and rely on regional representatives to update the website as new labs submitted
• Wordpress Form - this bug report

I do not know a lot about wordpress forms assume we would want one that generates a page.

Create Local Chapter Pages from Existing

We can remove duplicates for ones already submitted.

http://www.osgeo.org/content/chapters/index.html

Change background Image for GeoForAll to be distinct from Homepage

Resource form: single answer versus mulltiple answers

The screenshots in the form are not consistent with the form itself. The screenshots show (multiple) checkboxes (checked) and the form has radio button (with only one choice). The third way is doing same set two times with What is primary topic/audience? What is secondary audience? It can be mixed in the interface, but people need to select two with clear priority.

Spanish Language Chapter location

So, how do I add location when location is several places at the same time?

On our case: "Spain, Andorra, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Venezuela, United States, Equatorial Guinea"

Can we add more than one Location per chapter?

I tried to do the dirty workaround of creating a location that big... but it didn't work. Some error on the database. Probably name too big.

Or maybe allow a null location. We are mostly virtual, no location.

Convert Bird's Eye View to Service Provider

http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/geo-for-all-labs/birds-eye-view/ ... should be a service provider not a GeoForAll Lab
