Hi Jody,
I think it might be helpful to discuss this in real time online. The
osgeo-live weekly meeting will be in ~ 10 hours if you want to drop by:
irc://freenode.net#osgeolive
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?hour=20&min=30&sec=0&p1=179&p2=189&p3=224&p4=22&p5=240&p6=196&p7=215
If I understand correctly, there is currently budget and intent to
create project write ups, without a strategy for long term maintenance.
If that is the case, I suggest not creating such material at all. Rather
just create a list of projects which references either the projects
directly, or OSGeo-Live project overviews. I'm ok with Project Overviews
being copied verbatim, but I'm not ok with creating slight variant on
the Project Overviews.
For projects (such as some community projects, which haven't created a
project overview for OSGeo-Live,) I suggest using the OSGeo-Live format
initially. Then on a future iteration of OSGeo-Live, adopt a new
template (as proposed by the marketing committee).

Cameron this is just a stop gap as we do not have login to the beta
website. In addition to these forms the existing osgeo live overview
are also a source of information (perhaps these forms could add a link
to osgeo live overview if available.)
The key new information appears to be screen snaps and team photo and
the level 1 level 2 category information (which would be interesting
for osgeo live to adopt) and what service providers are considered
contributors.
The osgeo live team has been working very hard on the latest release
and has not had capacity to work on this initiative, by the same token
the content being gathered was established in June (the scope of this
project is fixed and we do not have volunteers to establish consider
process - unless you are interested).
The best idea I have heard is about.yaml or similar being committee
into each repo and used to generate one page flyers, overviews and
these web pages. However given the deadlines (some of which have
passed) this idea has not been pursued.

All,
There is good content in these forms. I recognise a lot of as
being derived from prior initiatives. Great.
I suggest taking a step back, and asking:
What is OSGeo's content creation and distribution pipeline?
What product(s) are being created with this content?
How are we going to ensure the content is being kept up to date?
(The original 1 page PDF fliers created for OSGeo projects was
created once, then became very out of date and collectively become
unusable as a source of truth). OSGeo-Live has a process for
updating documentation with each release, how can we lever that?
How can we minimise the duplication of content creation?
Duplication leads to multiple points of truth getting out of date,
and increases maintenance. Can we extend OSGeo-Live content
creation process rather than creating another? Or alternatively
have OSGeo-Live extend a newly created process?
Documentation processes which have potential to be aligned are:
* OSGeo-Live documentation guide:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Documentation
* Project application to join OSGeo-Live:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#How_to_add_a_project_to_OSGeoLive
* OSGeo incubation checklist:
http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/project_graduation_checklist.html
Cheers, Cameron

1) Jeffrey has started some google forms to quicklcy stage
content for beta website. I will review, add descriptions and
ask the people here to play test (and we can share with
disc...@osgeo.org <mailto:disc...@osgeo.org> at the end of
the day).
The first form is now ready, but I am not quite sure how to
provide a sharable URL:
