Subject: [Local-chapters] Please complete this brief survey regarding the
 OSGeo.org website

Hello,

we would like to ask for your help on an initiative regarding the OSGeo 
website [3].

We are resending this message to Project Officers as well as organizers 
of Local OSGeo Chapters in the hopes of getting greater representation 
in the survey responses specifically from leaders and organizers within 
OSGeo. If you have already completed the survey, thank you. The survey 
responses may be used to create a survey to be shared more broadly to 
the communities you represent at a later date.

Please take the time to fill out our brief survey: 
https://limesurvey.osgeo.org?r=Website

We will close the survey by August 6, so we ask that you complete it 
before then if you have not already.

I?m Scott McHale [1]. I host the small, informal, OSGeo Alberta Chapter 
meetup each month here in Alberta, Canada [2]. I am reaching out to you 
as a Board/Committee member or Project Officer to ask your help on an 
initiative regarding the OSGeo website [3].

I am not particularly technical and until recently I have not been 
involved in much of the OSGeo work beyond my chapter meetup. I have a 
personal goal of having the majority of my meetup.com members officially 
sign up with OSGeo, meaning attaining their OSGeo UserID. When I took 
the step of getting my User ID, I found the UX to be somewhat 
disorienting. I found I had a hard time articulating both the benefits 
and the process of getting the ID, based on what I found on the website.

I approached the Marketing Committee about creating a project to make 
that process more easily understood by folks who, like me, aren?t 
particularly technical and might not know OSGeo well. The committee 
suggested a broader website effort might be worthwhile. To that end, 
I?ve committed to gathering the views and opinions of stakeholders 
regarding what they, and the communities they represent, need the OSGeo 
website to accomplish and how well it is meeting those needs.

Please take the time to fill out our brief survey: 
https://limesurvey.osgeo.org?r=Website

I will summarize the results in the coming month to help us decide on 
next steps.

Thank you,

Scott.
