GeoForAll on the website

[cvvergara]

From the meeting with GeoForAll members many issues were discussed

Resources

• [1] Problem: old resources show first, maybe it is because they are shown in alphabetical order.
  • Idea: list resources based on date.

• [2] Problem: old resources links are failing
  • Idea: script to catch the link fails
  • Idea: Hide/Unpublish the resources with link fails

Geo For All

• [3] Problem: Not all news letters are using the GeoForAll logo
  • Idea: Batch modify the news letters and use the same image as logo.
  • + Idea: Somehow add button to choose GeoForAll logo when it is a newsletter

• [4] Pending #2671
  • Idea 1: Difficult access, put button "submit lab" down on the text
  • Idea 2: Only members with ldap can access the form

• [5] Problem: Draft labs that are part of the spam
  • Idea: List all the labs and review which are to be removed from the DB

• [6] Request: Add links to video resources
  • ​https://scholarworks.umass.edu/foss4g/
  • ​https://av.tib.eu/publisher/FOSS4G

• [7] Problem: Map
  • clicking on the circle does not give any information
    • List the labs contained by the circle
  • Done ​https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2803#comment:17

• [8] Request: subdivision/category of GeoForAll labs
  • Form needs to have the subdivision
  • Text needs to have the explanation of the subdivision
  • Map: filter map by subdivision/category

Cleaning up span labs

Drafts for are not to delete

• GeoLab Basel
• UEW GIS LAB
• LabEad - Conectando mundos
• GIS Lab
• Sterling Quinn

Spam still happening

[cvvergara]

Not all fields are in the form so there is the need to further contact to completely fill the lab.

[cvvergara]

Button for all geoforall labs is very small and difficult to find

[cvvergara]

Does the lab representative need to have an osgeo id?

[paulocoronado]

The drafts do not contain all the fields requested by the form. It seems that the access is not being given by means of this form but by direct requests.

[cvvergara]

Idea for the advisory board automatic update

Add a custom field to add who is on the advisory board and make autimoatic the generation of names

​https://staging.www.osgeo.org/initiatives/geo-for-all/advisory-board/

[cvvergara]

Loos like:

• service providers
• Some associations (aka local chapters?)

are marked as labs

[cvvergara]

Idea:

Add regions sections like ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoForAll

[cvvergara]

Never mind found the regions but in another page

[cvvergara]

In newsletters without language-edition

@paulocoronado needs permission for map modification

[paulocoronado]

[7] Problem: Map clicking on the circle does not give any information List the labs contained by the circle

We need to change line 97 in openstreetmap.php from:

var markerPosition = features[0].get('geometry')A;

To

var markerPosition = features[0].get('geometry')flatCoordinates;

List of external links in the geoforall section (CSV)

[paulocoronado]

[2] Problem: old resources links are failing Idea: script to catch the link fails

The script returned a total of 53 external links: 19 are fine (35%)

65% with errors:

15 with code 301, permanently moved
3 with code 403, forbidden
1 with 404 error, not found
1 with error 410, gone
13 have a timeout greater than 30 seconds
the link to linkedin require access credentials
