  • Jo Walsh
  • R. Paul Warriner
  • Dave Patton (may be able to help out, but don't necessarily need to be on the committee; cannot attend July 5th meeting)
  • (your name here)

Web Site

These need to be created and heavily interlinked. Who wants to do?

  • Project summary pages - Jason can work on initial cut for per-project approval (Q: What is the difference between "project.osgeo.org" - the domain - and "www.osgeo.org/project_info" - the info page?)
  • User/Developer spotlights (need to be moved from the "news" project)
  • Case Studies (currently proposed here and here only) / Organisational profiles
  • Usertype/Sector pages

Need to develop work flow for news. Is this process acceptable?

  • All general news added to the "News" project.
  • Delegates from all projects and committees given Announcement Admin and SVN access to the NEWS site
  • WebCom to "promote" major news to the main page on request by creating WWW project announcement that links to NEWS announcement.

  • Claude Philipona
  • Jody Garnett


Committee Membership Additions

  • Arnulf Christl
  • Frank Warmerdam
  • Jo Walsh
  • R. Paul Warriner
  • Dave Patton


Web Site

  • Jason to clean up TODO list, members to pick off items.
  • Members that want CVS access to send Jason a note.
  • Need to think about reducing duplication of content between www.osgeo.org/projects/projectname.html and projectname.osgeo.org; maybe use the projectname.osgeo.org for the info sheets of projects with existing external sites? WebCom would want to have access to these to change links, etc, though.


News

  • Good summary here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/News_Queue
  • Basically, use news.osgeo.org for all news, some items linked to from www.osgeo.org
  • Frank to be news editor with Jo as backup
  • Set up mailing list for news submissions


Next meeting

  • one week, same time.
