OSGeo website map integration
The OSGeo website was designed with a map and color palette (obviously); but the initial OSM integration was so poor it is an open only visible to from the member filter menu and GeoForAll labs.
We assumed that as a geospatial software foundation our community would be able to handle this but no volunteers have stepped forward.
Graphic designer support
We have had a number of requests for the website stacking up from the very simple, to the more demanding. - update social media options (mastodon, x, etc...) - set up tiles for the public facing committees (presently we have a bullet point list)
Preference would be to contact GeoBeyond if the original design is available. Going with an alternate choice will require reviewing the decisions made going into the initial design (while there are presentations and meeting notes such a diversion would increase level of effort).
Outreach collateral
Projects did not have access to InDesign and chose a wide range of technologies to produce one page PDFs (InkScape, Scribus, Sketch). While Jody made some effort to make these presentations consistent; variations in fonts, logo position are still present.
Updated banner designs with space allocated for sponsor logos (to be affixed with magnets or similar). This is an also an opportunity to better show case the branding integration of regional aerial/drone photography.
