OSGeo Europe Category on Discourse

[ticheler]

Hi,

Could you create a sub-category under Local Chapters for OSGeo-Europe? Something like ​https://discourse.osgeo.org/c/local-chapters/europe ?

And is there a way of integrating mailman and discourse where emails and posts are reflected in both channels? The current OSGeo Europe list is still in mailman2 AFAIK, but I have no objections if that would be migrated to mailman3 if required for such integration.

Thanks for your feedback and action.

Cheers, Jeroen

Hi SAC,

Not sure if I can help to add this, but I think I lack the rights to do so. Let me know if you can increase my rights or if there is someone who can add the sub-category for me. Thanks!

Cheers,

Jeroen

Hi Jeroen, I am a "moderator" now for discourse but do not think I can create new categories.

There is not a bi-directional sync between mailman and discourse.

What has been presented as options are:

• option 1: What can be done is have a read-only discourse that subscribes to mailman (for better search experience).

• option 2: take a mbox from mailman and use it to seed discourse channel content. Then manually take another mbox, perform a diff, and copy more messages over when the mailman is shut off.

We worked on this page (​https://discourse.osgeo.org/docs?topic=6765) last week based on feedback from geoserver/user migration from mailman.

@ticheler,

Sorry for letting this sit here for so long. @jive now has discourse Admin rights so he can take care of this for you.
