Dear Evelyn

I hope the trip back home from FOSS4G went well.

I am writing about the volunteer work on the OSGeo Website you offered during FOSS4G in New Zealand.

This is to keep you up to the communication channels that we use:

Please register on:
https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/sac

I found you already have an osgeo-id
You should be able to access https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/

Click on active tickets:
You will see a list of tickets and some are from component Website.

For example this one:
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/3476

Those are tickets that need work on the OSGeo website (Besides what we talked about during FOSS4G)

I need to give you permissions to do the website content modifications.
And give you some training.

Please let me know when we can meet at
https://meet.osgeo.org/sac
for the training where the first training part is how to give permissions using your OSGeo ID as example.

My time is UTC-6

Regards
Vicky

Indeed, thank you for looking at these issues.

We started collecting some of the problems in a document here: OSGeo Website Update 2025 Workplan
However the activity was not funded as part of the marketing committee budget.

In that document there are immediate priorities:

  • Updating the icon set to include mastadon and so on … presently it still has google+!
  • Rolling back some of the changes made to the theme for the project pages. We had an attempt to add “osgeo project”, “osgeo community” labels as seen in the project list - however the result has been some duplication at the top of each page.

Other communication options:

  • Marketing (Discourse) tends to focus on content
  • OSGeo Website (Discourse) public feedback
  • GitHub - used a lot for public feedback prior to discourse being available (I made a website label)
