[Ica-osgeo-labs] call for action: geo4all website update

[Suchith Anand]

Thanks Helena for following up this. I will request Jason to look into this when he gets time.

Jason - Please also connect with Rafael as i think it be best to have he or one of his colleagues directly updating the webinars page (similar to Nikos updating the newsletters page and uploading the latest newsletters etc). May be we should allocate one specific volunteer for each page (Training, News etc). That way we can help get volunteers for you to help with the website updates easily. Many thanks.

Suchith

Helena,
Thanks for the heads up,
That silly link, though still good!
Should just be simplified from. . .
http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/projects2013
to
http://eurochallenge.como.polimi.it/

As already discussed, there are few relatively small changes that urgently need to be done to geo4all website to keep it up to date.
I recall there are several volunteers who have access to the website - can you (or Jason) please do the following:

1. side bar:
add link to ISPRS-OSGeo MoU below the ISPRS logo https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MOU_ISPRS

2. news bar and the news page http://www.geoforall.org/news/ remove this page or assign a volunteer to keep it up to date, the last news item is from 14/07/2014

Possible news item to be added: NASA WW Europa challenge 2016 (the one that is there is for 2013!)

3. Locations page
http://www.geoforall.org/locations/
Remove the table from this page - is it not in a suitable format, hopefully the link is enough

4. About page
http://www.geoforall.org/about/
talks about 50 labs in 2015 - which conflicts with above paragraph talking about 100 labs in 2014

5. Advisory board
http://www.geoforall.org/advisory_board/
update of presidents is needed
ICA: Prof Menno-Jan Kraak, President, ICA
OSGeo: Professor Venkatesh Raghavan (India/Japan), Venka is already a board member but he needs to be listed as OSGeo president and co-chair Jeoren Ticheler should be Netherlands

6. Remove the past events page

7. Move Training resources to Training and remove the page http://www.geoforall.org/training_resources/

8. Webinars web page
http://www.geoforall.org/webinars/
please add info about the webinars lead by U of Colorado - this was already requested but somehow overlooked.

To broader community - please read the pages and let the volunteers know if you see anything else that needs updating.

To the volnteers - please let us know if you would prefer to have the update reuqests handled through osgeo ticket system to keep track of them. Also please let us know whether any additional support from OSGeo is needed.

Thank you all and let us keep our web presence alive and representative of the energy and activities in the community!
