Hi!
In [https://discourse.osgeo.org discourse.osgeo.org], can you create a
sub-category of "Local Chapters" for the
[Alberta Chapter - OSGeo Alberta Chapter (Canada)]?
It could be named “Canada - Alberta” maybe so that it’s sorted by
countries?
Thanks!

Oh that's right, I'll get back to you about who should be the admin, and
if the sub-category should be public or not.

I see this:
The Alberta Archives
Would you like to move it to discourse?

Not sure yet if we want to move completely to Discourse. That would
require some communications with the members. I just recently joined the
group and I'm in contact with the leads.
I got the answers.
1. The admin should be, username "ScottMcHale"
* If you can add a co-admin, add myself, username "gabrielcossette"
2. The sub-category should be public
Let me know if you anything else, thanks!
This is exciting, Discourse is a very good OSS forum platform.

Comment (by cvvergara):
This is an idea:
- import Alberta mailing list to discourse
- as mailing list: Alberta at discourse and Alberta at lists can coexist
while members of the mailing list migrate to discourse.
- On the mailing list footer add a link to the discourse category
information so people can follow the link and register to discourse
- After, say a month or two, Alberta mailing list can be disabled with a
last message about the disabling.
- A link to the mailing list archives to reference the last couple of
months (when they are few)
- OR import the last messages (if they are a lot this is better)
Note that discourse works differently than the mailing lists.
* There is no category owner yet (that feature is not been implemented)
* There are groups:
* Everyone: all registered people on discourse
* Named-groups: a group of people for particular permissions
* The permissions:
* see: Can read topics
* reply: Can reply to a topic
* create: Can create a topic
So for example:
For Group:
* name: Canada - Alberta
* slug: alberta
* People can: join and leave freely
* owners: `ScottMcHale`, `gabrielcossette`
For category:
* name: Canada - Ablerta
* slug: alberta
* mail: alberta at discourse dot osgeo dot org
* group `everyone`: see, reply
* group `alberta`: see, reply, create
* no owner concept exists on categories yet.
