Re: Dorset Council Service Provider Page request

That stuff is managed by the board, so you would add an agenda topic to
the next boar meeting, or ask on the board email list etc…

One challenge with the website is that differ groups manage different
content :slight_smile:

Hi Jody,

I’ve just had a quick look, but I don’t think I have the permissions in
the Partners section as I can’t see any settings on the OpenStreetMap page
for example.

I’m happy to switch Dorset Council to a friend instead of a service
provider but perhaps you need to give me permissions under Partners rather
than Service Providers for me to do that?

Thanks,

Paul

I tried to add Dorset Council as a service provider so they can be listed
as core-contributors for the GIFramework Maps project but I didn’t have the
correct permissions

I have added Service Provider Author permission for Paul.

Paul the service provider page was intended for organizations that can
help folks make use of foss4g technology. As so much of our community is
focused on individuals this is one of the few place we offer promotion.

It is totally fine for Dorset Council to be listed here in order to be
recognized as a core contributor for a project.

The other option for Dorset Council is to be added as a “friend or
partner”:

  • Friend - we like them and they are active in our community
  • Partner - we like them and have some kind of agreement to work
    together (memorandum of understanding but it could also be like a code
    sprint or a common technology we collaborate on)

Have a look at Partners Archive - OSGeo and you can see all scales
of organizations represented from Open Street Map to a university
technology park.
