[SAC] Can you grab me on IRC today for some SAC questions?

Yes, running of Drupal, Wordpress or something similar is covered under
SAC budget, as we already cover this and no additional hardware is required.

Thanks,
Alex

Our remit is to hire a vendor to prepare the theme and setup the
content types, templates etc.

Nicolas and I are planning to take the lead on managing the
procurement. I can write to SAC asking for someone to participate in
this separately.

No, the overhaul of the website was not part of the SAC budget.
Our budget was:
Server replacement of osgeo3 ~$6,000
Maintenance & Service contracts ~$9,000

That could include the setup of software necessary for new web
infrastructure, but the paying of an outside vendor to actually make the new
site I assumed would be in the Marketing (or whoever took over webcom).

Yes, we will ask SAC for someone to sit on the EOI/RFQ. Who is in charge of
that so I can make the connection, or can you share an email with SAC asking
for the volunteer?

Thanks,
Alex

Since we did not hear from Alex I sent some details to the SAC email list:

*Doubling back to this thread after recent budget discussion/questions.
The
board set a goal of redoing the website presence in 2017 (RFQ,content
migration,etc...). It was unclear if the 15K request from SAC took this
into account or not?*

** Marketing committee has volunteer to run an EOI/RFQ process for an
external vendor to do the work (see
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Meeting_2016-12-30
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Meeting_2016-12-30&gt;\).*

** Although we reached out to Alex Mandel it was unclear if the 15K
request
from SAC took this initiative into account?*

*Since it was unclear we have penciled in 8K for SAC as part of
budget/fundraising target. The draft budget
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2017
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2017&gt; has the high level
outline.*

*Should fund raising target be met by end of January go/no-go the final
budget for SAC would be 23k. It would be great if a member of SAC could be
involved in the EOI / RFQ process (and present for the go/no-go
decision).*

I setup the draft EOI here. If someone from SAC can take a look at the
relevant portions about technology used that would be great. Alot of
this is copied from a similar procurement I did at the World Bank, so
is not all relevant. I've added strikeout to some sections that
definitely need revision.
