[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo website/rebranding June Update

[Jody Garnett]

I would also like to thank the key sponsors GeoCat and Boundless, this is a
large effort effecting all the groups at OSGeo and we appreciate the
financial support.

For the work ahead in July here is what we can expect:

* *System Administration Committee*: remains in the hot seat for getting us
a beta website for the community to look at.

* *OSGeo Board*: is already gathering information on sponsors and partners,
we will need to gather information on friends such as OSM, NaturalEarth and
others who's work we would like to promote (even if we have not defined a
formal relationship).

* *PSC Members*: Please start thinking about content generation July, there
are training at the foss4g-europe and foss4g boston event. We will
certainly start with the great work done by OSGeo-Live, but to make the
best appearance on the new website some work will be needed (group shot of
the developer team if you have it).

* *Local Chapters*: We are copying the model used by GeoForAll, with a map
as a way to see where local chapters are. Much like with the projects some
work will be needed to get the most out of the new website. You may also
wish to review your logo, and like the osgeo-live project consider ways in
which it can be updated. We did keep the light osgeo-green color so some
logos wil

* *Committee Chairs: *While we can migrate what is currently on the
website, many committees have been only using the wiki. Please think about
what would you like.

* *GeoForAll: *Nickos, Helena and Daria have been doing great work on the
information sheet, a larger effort will be needed to coordinate the wealth
of material GeoForAll is collecting and coordinate with the GeoForAll labs.

If anyone has any questions please ask, SAC has recently given me github
permission so we can start sharing logos, templates, branding somewhere
useful.

The marketing committee will be taking part in the foss4g-europe code
sprint (and have some early adopter bright green badges to share), and will
be holding a training session at foss4g-boston.

(Whew! Let's do all the things).
