<div dir="ltr">A couple of people have asked how to add a local chapter to the website.<div><br></div><div>It looks like there are two kinds "Community Group" and "Official Chapter".<br><div><br></div><div>The list of local chapters is here - <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Local_Chapters">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Local_Chapters</a> </div><div><br></div><div>0. If your local chapter is still "in formation" now is a great time to ask the board to recognize your group! (The OSGeo Portuguese chapter is doing this now - congrats!)</div><div><br></div><div>For the existing local chapters:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Sign into the website using your osgeo userid </div><div>2. There is editor bar added along the top of the page, click the wordpress symbol</div><div>3. Along the right side of the page is all the difference content types from projects to local chapters</div><div>4. Click "local chapter" and choose "Add New"</div></div><div><br></div><div>You may need to add a new "Location" for your local chapter, it is a bit more tricky as some groups are language based and have a list of locations across the world.</div><div><br></div><div>If you do not get any edit options when signed in please reach out out on the SAC IRC or via email and we can make sure you are an editor.</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>--</div><div>Jody Garnett</div></div></div></div></div></div>
