Tips for OSGeo Members
If you have an OSGeo LDAP account:
-
ALWAYS USE
with OSGeo Giteaorwith LDAPbutton to log in. -
DO NOT USE the left side of the image bellow (aka, try to register with an email)
-
DO NOT USE Log in with GitHub
This will minimize the need to merge accounts later.
If you have multiple email addresses
Under your profile, add any email aliases that you have used in past to send mail to OSGeo mailing lists.
-
This will ensure all your various email identities are tied to one discourse account and as we mirror mailman mailing lists, your prior correspondence on these mailing lists will be mapped to your account.
-
If you get an error when adding an email address, chances are, the email is already assigned to a staged account. Put in a trac ticket at OSGeo (with component SysAdmin/Discourse) and one of the sysadmins will merge your staged account into your current one.
-
Optionally you can also add your Github account as an alternative means for authenticating from your profile.
