I had a review of the upcoming live.osgeo.org release, and noticed a couple things to update. 1) The live.osgeo.porg sponsorship list <https://live.osgeo.org/en/sponsors.html> included both project sponsors -- and OSGeo sponsors. The result was quite out of date. As the board member keeping tabs on sponsors this was my responsibility .. but I did not know live.osgeo.org was keeping a list :)
Perhaps we should just drop that list of OSGeo sponsors in the OSGeo-Live pages if there is not enough time to update every year.
2) More importantly the sponsors page has a section describing osgeo foundation <https://live.osgeo.org/en/sponsors.html> which had not been updated with our new mission / vision. Once again we updated these statements as a board, but did not chase it down into live.osgeo.org.
This has to be updated or just link to the proper OSGeo page. From last night's PSC meeting we have a volunteer to take this task.
3) As incubation chair I asked if OSGeo live could update the branding for OSGeo Projects and OSGeo Community Projects. This setup is in keeping with the board decision to open the door to "innovation" last year by providing an easier way for just-open-source projects to be supported by the foundation).
+1 to include the community project badge, like we do for incubated and graduated projects.
4) I asked if live.osgeo.org could include the new logo / color / font branding (it may be too late, but it does not hurt to ask).
We are planning to use the new logo/color/font for our desktop artwork at least in the upcoming 11.0 release. I am not sure if we have enough resources (time and volunteers) for updating the look and feel of the OSGeo-Live documentation for this release. Having a new sphinx theme would definitely help. Is there a plan to get such a new theme from the re-branding project?
5) I also asked as a LocationTech member if additional cloud based projects could be listed on osgeo live. They are an increasingly important part of our open source ecosystem, but not listed on live.osgeo.org.
I agree it is a good idea to list such cloud-based projects (as we have done in the past for windows-only projects that could not be physically installed in OSGeo-Live)
I have joined the project mailing list to provide the above feedback more directly, however I want to emphasis that it is not enough for us to make decisions as a board - we need to reach out and communicate those decisions.
I agree. As a member of both bodies I should have communicated more.
With respect to the board decisions on mission/vision/community projects are there any other areas we need to update? -- Jody Garnett
Cheers, Angelos
