[Live-demo] [Marketing] code sprint, content migration, generation starts now

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Jody,

I think it might be helpful to discuss this in real time online. The 
osgeo-live weekly meeting will be in ~ 10 hours if you want to drop by:

irc://freenode.net#osgeolive

https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?hour=20&min=30&sec=0&p1=179&p2=189&p3=224&p4=22&p5=240&p6=196&p7=215

If I understand correctly, there is currently budget and intent to 
create project write ups, without a strategy for long term maintenance. 
If that is the case, I suggest not creating such material at all. Rather 
just create a list of projects which references either the projects 
directly, or OSGeo-Live project overviews. I'm ok with Project Overviews 
being copied verbatim, but I'm not ok with creating slight variant on 
the Project Overviews.

For projects (such as some community projects, which haven't created a 
project overview for OSGeo-Live,) I suggest using the OSGeo-Live format 
initially. Then on a future iteration of OSGeo-Live, adopt a new 
template (as proposed by the marketing committee).
