[Ica-osgeo-labs] Website additional functionality developments - Digital Poster Board for Student presentations from all labs and for FOSS4G events

Wed Feb 11 15:46:56 PST 2015

Thanks Sven. Once we have this setup, it can be used for summary poster of each lab. 

It will help us achieve two things

1. Will build a summary of activities of each lab and help build new ideas for collaborations. 
2. Can be used by all for preparing presentations, rolling presentations at FOSS4G conferences etc.

Also one of the aspects of yearly activity updates planned is also to find the inactive labs, so we can remove them from the list.

Dear all,

Great discussion.

Apart from the students posters and sessions at the conference, I
particularly like the idea of something similar for the labs. Would it be
feasible to ask each lab already in the network, and each that would like to
join, for a 'poster' (core figure(s) and a little text) that would then be
put on the on-line Geo4All Lab board? Such content could then also be used
in general presentations, as rolling introduction during breaks at
conferences etc.

Best,
Sven

Suchith,

Nice. . .but, that's just a picture without the attendant text!
I suggest they make their own website (that they maintain) and with a
professional description of their work presented there.

This takes the burden off of FOOS4G for having to maintain it.
And the folks who would like to follow up, will have a substantial place to
continue their dialogue or simply follow that work.
And give the FOSS4G community substantial access to the various projects.

Just a thought. . .
-Patrick

btw the digital poster board from the map gallery at FOSS4G Nottingham at
http://2013.foss4g.org/conf/gallery/index.html  might help give some ideas.

Maria - also if you are thinking of Poster session at FOSS4G Europe 2015, i
would suggest that we use this opportunity for having the posters uploaded
directly and displayed in this Digital poster board in our website. Students
can print and display the posters at the event also but having the digital
display board will have wider impact. Also if we get the voting widget
setup, it can be used to test best poster award etc easily. Thanks.

Thanks Bob, Lene.

Lene- the wordpress option looks good.

Also the Advisory Board had been thinking of an annual easy reporting
mechanism of all labs, so we can learn each others activities and plan
collaboration. Once we have the Digital poster board setup for student
presentation, we can easily tailor similar one for the annual summary poster
for each lab . This can then be used for building OSGeo-Live like  summary
presentation of all labs which  any of us wishing to present the latest
developments at key conferences/events etc can make use of. So these
additional website developments can have many uses.

Jason- please do give us your feedbacks/ideas on this. Thanks.

All,

I actually set a automatic presentation to run on a large display while at
some GIS conferences.  I've run the OSGeo-Live presentation like this in the
past on a number of occasions.

I've always wanted to something similar that show active projects and what
they did, but just never had the time to put something together.  OSGeoLive
seems like a good fit for setting up something similar to this but more from
a OSGeo sales perspective.

Just some thoughts as I thought of them..
Bobb

Hi Suchith,
It´s easy to set up a wordpress blog - as the one you linked to. As an
addition a Rating Widget https://wordpress.org/plugins/rating-widget/ or
some Voting Widget.
A page/theme could easily be shared for the different occations.

Regards
Lene Fischer

Digital Poster Board for Student presentations from all labs and for FOSS4G
events

Colleagues,

We had a meeting on the certification ideas just now and in parallel were
also discussing ideas on encouraging student participation at FOSS4G events
through poster sessions etc and Lene Fisher mentioned an excellent idea of
building a Digital Poster Board for showcasing the various student projects
that are using Open Source GIS and data.

I suggest that as part of the GeoforAll website developments we do this as
it will not only be an opportunity for students to share their work but also
for everyone to know the research done at the various labs and build
collaborations. Also it can be used for other FOSS4G events globally to run
their student poster competions later and have it showcased and archived.

Lene also send an example of http://qgis.dk  which she did.

Could i request you to please give your ideas /thoughts on this and any
other web development activities that you think we need for our website, so
that we can plan this now. Please let us all know what additional
functionalities you want from our website, so we can check the development
time for all these and if it is feasible within our 3.5k budget allocation
for the website developments

Jason - could you please give us an estimate of time effort and costs for
implementing this, so i can send the estimate to OSGeo Board and Treasuer
also to include in the budget we have for ICA-OSGeo labs. Thanks.

Suchith
