[Ica-osgeo-labs] ICA-OSGeo labs website

[Suchith Anand]

Hi All,

Thanks to all of you who have attended the BoF meeting of Educational and ICA-OSGeo labs and  i will be emailing more details on the discussions and actions outcome  of Education and ICA-OSGeo labs BoF after workloads of FOSS4G 2013 are over. 

Website is the key window for the outside world to know what we are doing and  build new collaborations and we need a professional and regularly updated website to be in place asap. Thanks to Manuel efforts, we have some activities started and draft website in place. Now it is time to build upon this initial draft site a brand new website and i have requested Jason Sadler (Uni of Southampton) to make use of these initial ideas and build us a central website for the ICA-OSGeo Labs initiative.

We will be creating a website team led by Jason Sadler  and key members for delivering this. I would like to have Manuel, Jeff, Anne, Luca, Frank to be all part of this team and aim to have our new website in place in a month's time to keep building momentum generated by FOSS4G 2013. Thanks again to all of you and it is great to see our initiative growing rapidly.

Suchith

Subject: [Ica-osgeo-labs] ica-osgeo lab map update

Hi everybody,
I just register myself to this mailing list because I would help the
ica-osgeo labs and osgeo-edu.
I worked on ica-osgeo lab map during foss4g-cee in Bucarest in July
and this morning I attended the educational BoF in Nottingham and I
spoke with Suchith about the update of the map.
So today I worked on it and now you could see the results:
- you can find the updated map at this url [0] and find the source code here [1]
- I updated all the coordinates in the wiki page [2], please fill the
missing (use geographical coordinate longitude and latitude)
- I create a Python script to update the geojson file used in the map,
you can find the script in the tar.gz archive, it read the table of
the wiki page and take information, as coordinates and name from it

Now the page should improved with some text and move in another place,
I have no problem to keep it on my server, but I think should be
better to move it somewhere else.
I also read the Helena is working on a map, please reuse what is
necessary for your and keep in touch to improve the ica-osgeo lab map.
I think for now should it's all, see you soon
