[SAC] Users directly registered on osgeo.org via wordpress

It appears – I assume some administrator added these users directly to www.osgeo.org wordpress instance.

I got 5 notices on Sunday about 5 registrants which I only happens if people directly register (or are added via Wordpress).

We don’t have a registration page on the site and log in sends users to get a mantra to get an OSGeo ID.

5 People in question profiles are linked below. They look legit (all from Romania some from Romanian chapter of Osgeo).

Does anyone know about these and why they were not sent via the OSGeo User ID channel? None of these have OSGeo Ids.

Hi Regina,

That was me. The people were proposed by our local chapter members for
OSGeo Charter Members. This year the nomination procedure required a
field called "Nominee profile page:". I just assumed that is the profile
in our "Members" section of the website [1]. Being quite late, I did add
the profiles directly. Not sure what is the rule but I hope I did not
did something really bad.

Warm regards,
Vasile

Okay. I was more concerned about some backdoor registration page I missed.

That said -- the profile for new members I believe is supposed to go on the wiki. Though it kind of makes sense to me it should go on www.osgeo.org especially since wiki at the moment uses its own registration system instead of OSGeo LDAP which we have not yet addressed.

At any rate having users registered directly on wordpress is a NO NO but easy enough to fix.
If you have them register for an OSGeo ID via the proper channels - https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/create

Using the username and email you registered them with on wordpress, then I can merge their LDAP and wordpress identities.

Thanks,
Regina

And please, Vasile, communicate the mantra to them directly,
so we avoid lots of trust-ensuring roundtrips.

Current mantra can be obtained by trusted users [1] from
https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/sac/userid-mantra
(requires login)

[1] Access to that page is granted to members of so called
    "mantra readers" group, which can be managed by SAC
