[Conference-resources] FOSS4GE 2024 web-page

[Astrid Emde (OSGeo)]

Hello,

shall we proceed on this topic? As FOSS4G Europe 2024 would like to 
start.

Maybe a virtual meeting would be good to discuss the questions. We also 
could discuss to make regular meetings?

Questions to discuss
1. Hugo or Jekyll.
2. What do we need for the template? Any ideas for a template?
3. Who would like to support the website team?
4. Define a location for the repository - maybe something like 
https://github.com/OSGeo/foss4g-website-template (a copy could be used 
for the events repos like https://github.com/OSGeo/foss4g-europe-2023)
5. ... more

Shall we use a ticket system to organize the topics we would like to 
work on?
We already have https://gitea.osgeo.org/gitea/foss4g/resources/issues

There are already some repositories at
https://gitea.osgeo.org/gitea/foss4g/

See you

Astrid
