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)
  • the sponsors page is not laying out very clear between different categories
  • adjust how frequent sponsors images are listed at the bottom of the screen
  • make it easier to supply/scale logos (current limitation on exact size and placing on a white background is error prone)

Preference would be to contact original graphic designer (from GeoBeyond) if 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.
