[SAC] Users directly registered on osgeo.org via wordpress

[Regina Obe]

Okay.  I was more concerned about some backdoor registration page I missed.

That said -- the profile for new members I believe is supposed to go on the wiki.  Though it kind of makes sense to me it should go on www.osgeo.org especially since wiki at the moment uses its own registration system instead of OSGeo LDAP which we have not yet addressed.

At any rate having users registered directly on wordpress is a NO NO but easy enough to fix.
If you have them register for an OSGeo ID via the proper channels - https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/create

Using the username and email you registered them with on wordpress, then I can merge their LDAP and wordpress identities.

Thanks,
Regina

Hi Regina,

That was me. The people were proposed by our local chapter members for OSGeo Charter Members. This year the nomination procedure required a field called "Nominee profile page:". I just assumed that is the profile in our "Members" section of the website [1]. Being quite late, I did add the profiles directly. Not sure what is the rule but I hope I did not did something really bad.

Warm regards,
Vasile
