osgeo website ux experience

Next step is to make a survey on the topics identified, report back to board, and make a small work plan.

Ideally we want the workplace for December; so it can be considered when setting marketing budget for 2025.

We looked at a couple things:

• GDAL/OGR - OSGeo where we can see the page design getting worse as the theme has been updated to show stickers and logos for some reason (eek)
• Committees - OSGeo an example “where the money ran out” on the initial website design resulting in a simple page rather than tile + form presentation
• even when system admin committee (or jody) can technically update the theme - we need graphics design input to provide a very specific request to avoid mistakes

discourse category proposal?

Discussion on if this really is a topic for marketing committee? Sort of, but there may not be a better group …

So please vote on proposal (see other topic).

chit chat

Discussion of OSGeo Alberta chapter, logo, and activities, …
