52North Service Provider page - Asking for "Add Service Provider" Permission

Committees Marketing
1

Hi folks,

I want to add 52°North as a GeoNode service provider. I created a userid already which is “52north”. Would you be so kind granting appropriate permissions for it, so that I am able to prepare the service provider page for review?

Thanks a lot!

Hi @ridoo welcome to the forum.

OSGeo is an organization of individuals, so I would feel more comfortable trusting you with service author permission, then trusting a generic corporate account.

I am going to grant the account you created service provider author permission, it just looks a bit odd listed on the osgeo members page eh?

Hey Jody … maybe you are right. I just did not wanted to bind the Service Provider to my individual account. Do you want me to remove the corporate?

It is up to you, no matter what way you choose please fill in some information for the profile when you get an opportunity.

If it helps other folks from your organization can sign up and be granted permission to maintain that page.

@jive Jody … I thought about it, and would like to delete the corporate account. Could you please grant myself (ridoo) the service provider permission? We will then add other folks later if necessary. Thank you so much, and sorry for the hassle!

Best

Henning

Done? Oh wait ridoo does not exist as a username on the Wordpress site. Can you login with your OSGeo User ID please to create a profile; then I can assign the permissions.

I logged in for the first time and the account should be created now.

Thanks, the permission has been added.

Cool, thanks! I am on vacation currently, but will pick up once I am back again.

I have added the 52n service provider and submitted for review, however, I could not see the “Visit Us” Button/link below the logo when previewing (website was added in the about tab, though).

Edit:

  • got it now … I added a call-2-action Button.
  • once reviewed, you can delete the 52north user

Some feedback:

  1. Thanks for getting the tile logo on a white background, limitations of our website etc…
  2. Photo: I grabbed your team photo form your profile page in order to have something.
  3. Contributor Types: I thought were “core contributors” with PSC members on an osgeo project, but reviewing your list of Technology expertise I am not sure?
  4. Location: I updated to Munster, based on https://52north.org/about-us/contact-us/ page
  • once reviewed, you can delete the 52north user

I am not sure how to delete the 52north user (like I can remove the profile from the Wordpress but the LDAP entry is probably still around unless you use the form to remove it … although I only see an option to reset or change email)

@jive thank you so much!

Regarding your comments:

  1. Contributor Types: I thought were “core contributors” with PSC members on an osgeo project, but reviewing your list of Technology expertise I am not sure?

We contributed here and there but do not have any PSC membership anywhere.

I am not sure how to delete the 52north user (like I can remove the profile from the Wordpress but the LDAP entry is probably still around unless you use the form to remove it … although I only see an option to reset or change email)

I will check out.

I think, we can close this ticket, as this runs out of scope. Thank you again for your guidance.
