Hi Ian, 

 

Consider a restyling "code" sprint during FOSS4G in August in Bonn.

Would be great to present a new design before a 1000-people audience there & then

 

regards, 

 

GJ

Hi Gert-Jan, Maxi,

I agree with both of you.

In terms of the design I'd encourage you to get involved with discussions (and \
implementation..!) via the webcom list as we get underway.  The aim will be to \
provide a number of theme choices and to improve the design of the site substantially \
(on both desktop and mobile devices).

Maxi - we can style the site in anyway, regardless of the back end being drupal.  The \
style of the landing page can be a focus of additional effort, and could be static, \
cached, or database-driven on each visit.

Hopefully there will be a lot of discussion around how we're communicating the \
content as we go forward, but the main focus is certainly the technology upgrade.  If \
we only achieved a site that looked like the old site, but was on upgraded software \
then this would still be a very desirable outcome.

Ian

Dear All,

actually I think we need something more fancy and modern with respect to what we have \
now.

 

At least for the landing page, the rest could be more functional and be Drupal or \
whatsoever you think is better from a technical point of view.

 

In my opinion we need a re-design of the website and of the communication.

Hi Ian,

Is this update a pure technical one, or are there also plans to give the site a new \
fresh & young look?


regards,

Gert-Jan

Excellent - thanks Jeff.

All - please keep sending in requirements for the remake of the main
osgeo.org [2] website.  It may make sense to move specifics of this
discussion to the webcom mailing list, but please reply on discuss
with any major issues to this proposal overall, or with any
alternative suggestions prior to tomorrow's board meeting.

Please send replies to the message to *discuss**@lists.osgeo.org
[1]


<http://lists.osgeo.org>* and not to the other lists included on
this
message to prevent the discussion from being split across the
discuss,
board, sac and webcom lists!

Many thanks,

Ian

P.S. I anticipate that we may not all agree that a manual
migration to
Drupal 8 is the absolute optimal solution --- but please bear in
mind
that possible upgrades have been in discussion since 2007...
We're
looking for a solution that can be easily implemented and meets
the main
requirements (including removing ad hoc custom PHP and also
ensuring
solid multilingual support).


I've added more requirements to the wiki as well:

- Allow easy way to find communication channels:

mailing lists
IRC
OSGeo Slack
OSGeo HipChat
OSGeo Gitter
