Thanks Helena, Jody for the info.
Jody, I will at FOSS4G-Europe next week, so let us discuss this. Also Nottingham links need updating. I understand that our main contact Dr. Didier Leibovici is leaving Nottingham University later next month. On behalf of the GeoForAll community, I want to thank Didier for all his help and support over the years and wish him all the best for the future.
Best wishes,
Suchith

That is good information Helena, you had a longer meeting with the website people then I did :)
I have been very much focused on the visual design, and now that that is at an edit I am trying ask how content migration, and then content creation will occur.
For any groups going to foss4g europe next week join me at the code sprint and we can write similar information as to what was used for Nottingham. I think we should do this a few times before deciding how to collect and maintain this information.

- to answer your question directly, yes, there will be a form/process for the labs to add their information and create their webpage - see the link in Jody’s message and go to Nottingham - the resulting webpage looks really great.
We are hoping that at least some of the entries will be done during the Boston code sprint with the help from the website designers - see
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2017_Code_Sprint#Website_Training
This will also be a test for how many labs we actually have because each member lab will have to provide information
about their lab - essentially creating an official webpage under osgeo. We will keep the wiki to track the invited labs.
Jody, please correct me if I am not interpretting the process correctly, but this is how I understood it at our meeting with the web designers. (the same process will be used for the projects).
For everybody on the list - if you plan to be at FOSS4G and can stay for the code sprint, please sign up on the wiki above
so that we know how many people to expect - this is a great opportunity to get some help for creating osgeo-geoforall representation for your lab. If you cannot make it to Boston, there will be instructions on how to do your entry.
Best regards, Helena

While I am joining to help with communication during content generation -- I cannot provide the perspective of a geoforall representatives attending the meetings with the vendor. For example the challenges faced by regional chairs.
I brought up the issue of website vs wiki vs newsletter in today's meeting. Get Interactive is going to start by filling in their prototype based on a migration of the existing website (ie what we paid them for).
For content that is new (such individual geoforall labs) I would like to ask this email list how to proceed? The presentation of an individual lab is quite impressive<https://invis.io/ZCBA3XH54>!

Many thanks Jody for joining the list as it helps you to have full information needed for the website updates.
GeoForAll have evolved and expanded over time. As Nikos said we need to make sure the website and newsletter provide the same updated information.
One important aspect I want to bring to your attention is to please consider when you are doing the website updates to please provide a simple webform mechanism to add new GeoForAll labs to the network. As we expand ,it is becoming really difficult for regional chairs to keep track, so a simple form which with all the info needed to be submitted by the universities joining will be helpful . At present we are using wiki and even if we request everyone and send reminders to add new labs directly , many do not know how to add to wiki. So having a webform that adds the details to the wiki will make it make it easier for everyone.
Best wishes,
Suchith

I think that wherever the information comes from it must be the same.
The website and the Newsletter must provide the same information. And
both can be updated easily.
If you think that a spreadsheet would solve the problem, even for the
moment, then you can point out the Newsletter.
