= OSGeo Website Committee Meeting =
== Meeting Info ==
 Chair: Jason
 IRC: #osgeo For those behind firewalls Web-based IRC is available.
 When: 17:00 UTC on May 8th, 2008
== Agenda Items ==
* website changes (see http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/webcom/2008-May/001665.html)
** Remove OSGeo Download Server link (MN: I had added it since it is highly ranked in the Web stats, till Feb 2008 it was a broken link)
** Remove Logo link (A Marketing page might be useful instead of the direct link to the logos)
** Add RSS News Feeds info to the news_items page
** Add links to outwards-facing committees such as Marketing and Incubation
** Service providers and News might move up into the OSGeo Foundation menu from the Community menu. This stretches the splitting of official and Wiki content a bit, so maybe some of the pages would require an 'official' version instead
** Remove incubation indication from project listings (MN: please keep it. It was sort of approved even by the president)
** For sponsors we have two links on the homepage. Suggest to make an animated gif with the logos and put those on e.g. the lower right corner. That image could than link to the sponsors page. The sponsors page links to the sponsorship help page. That help page may also provide the sponsor opportunities? This allows to remove at least one (if not two) of the sponsors links in the menu.
** From the Wiki, the logo on the top left links to the OSGeo Wiki. I (Jeroen) think that logo would better link to the official page to make that easier to find once you end up on the Wiki)
** Add a community menu entry for "Blogs" pointing to http://planet.osgeo.org
** Feeds:
*** should the home page(www.osgeo.org) have "link" tags in the HTML head to indicate feeds, such as http://www.osgeo.org/feed/news
*** should the "News (RSS)" link under "OSGeo Community" include the standard feed icon
*** should the "News (RSS)" link under "OSGeo Community" go to a regular webpage that in turn links to both the OSGeo feed and planet.osgeo.org, and explains the differences between them
** IRC: should there be an "IRC (chat)" link under "OSGeo Community" that links to a page that with information about OSGeo-related IRC channels (e.g. #osgeo, #foss4g2008, #foss4g, etc), as well as a link to the TelaScience interface
* Get a FOSS4G 2008 banner in place
* Revitalize the spotlights effort (Comment by Jeroen: The Community Spotlights section seems virtually dead while it takes up a lot of space. We could consider (re)moving it to free up space and make the page less overwhelming/ lighter to digest.)
* refresh the FAQ?
* fix some Webcom trac tickets?

WebCom Scope

#REDIRECT Archived
The following are the responsibilities of the commitee taken from the offical page .
== Create, maintain, and update the content for the foundation web site ==
== Recommend appropriate website technologies ==
Deliverables:
* list of recommended technologies
=== Recomendations ===
The webcom committe is recomending and supporting the use of the following recommended technologies:
* Drupal
* Media Wiki
* svn
* ...
=== Alternatives ===
The following technologies are employed by OSGeo projects, the webcom committee will accept
documentation for these alternatives but they are not activly supported:
* confluence
* jira
== Decide and implement a site wide style guideline ==
Deliverables:
* logo, check!
* fonts, unclear
* graphic design, is this viscomm responsibility?
* website map, optimize "workflow" for target users, pending
* writing guidelines, probably per content type, unset
== support foundation projects in use of portal technologies and common style ==
Deliverables:
* Getting Started
* Style Guidelines
=== Portal Technologies ===
We need to provide a "Getting Started" document, or a webcomm mentor guided tour, to each project to help them get going.
=== Common Style ===
We need to provide a Style Guidelines document to capture the "care and feeding instructions" for groups and projects making use of our website style
and OSGeo branding. The first customer for this care package is the OSGeo website itself, QA for these
instructions will be performed by the iccubation projects (ie GeoTools).
Careful attention must be made to ensure that OSGeo remains a benifit when
constructing these guidelines.
Minimal Recomendations (website content, or generated content like javadocs): 
* use of logo as return link: logo position, size, and link target specified
* use of OSGeo fonts
* colors may be project specific, if so colors should also be shared w/ OSGeo site
Recommended intergration (project home page):
* use of content navigation
** located w/ respect to the logo (perhaps under)
** focus on major content required by the viscom committee, or webcom research?
** optional: additional content navigation may be project specific
* optional: traceback information for OSGeo tracking stats
== Pursue translation of portions of the site into other languages. ==
Deliverables:
* website translation process
* project translation support
=== WebSite Translation Process ===
We need to set up a process for website materials to be translated. Currently Drupal supports translations, but our media wiki does not appear to.
Q: Is the webcomm expecting to help projects not making use of our technologies, or will we require projects using confluence to set up their own translation process?
=== Project Translation Support ===
Informal email on the discussion list talks about setting up web front end to a translation database. We require a formal proposal.
== Etc... ==
Common committee responsibilities:
* add and remove committee members as needed
* report back to the board (via Chair) to the board monthly on activities and issues.
Category: WebCom
WebVM

== Existing Services on Web VM ==
=== Drupal Instances ===
==== 2011.foss4g.org ====
* Originally hosted on squarespace.com site, it's being moved to Drupal on this machine instead
==== www2/www3.osgeo.org ====
* Holding space for migrating/upgrading main Drupal instance for www.osgeo.org
==== OCS ====
==== OJS ====
Web Feature Service

O serviço de entidades geográficas padrão do OpenGIS WFS define uma interface para especificar os pedidos de recursos geográficos através de toda a Web utilizando chamadas independente de plataforma. O padrão de WFS define interfaces e operações para a manipulação e acesso de dados para um conjunto de características geográficas, incluindo:
* getCapabilities: descrição das características do recurso ou servidor; 
* describeFeatureType: descrição dos tipos que caracterizam as entidades que podem ser servidas;
* getFeature: devolve as instâncias dos objectos disponíveis;
* transaction: executa operações de modificação dos objectos (inserção, remoção e actualização);
* lockFeature: bloqueia uma ou mais instâncias durante uma transacção.

Web GIS lab exercises

OPEN SOURCE WEB GIS EXERCISE HANDBOOK
The idea here would be to develop a handbook with exercises and data related to open source web GIS technologies. Our first task is to identify people willing to contribute to this and what subject(s) they'd be willing to contribute. Our second task is to develop a standard material template. 
 
People willing to contribute and their subject matter:
* GeoMoose/Mapserver. Brian Fischer, U of Minnesota: "I would be interested in contributing exercises for GeoMOOSE. I teach a graduate level class at the University of Minnesota where I have developed exercises for using GeoMOOSE/MapServer."
Is anyone willing to contribute anything related to the below?
* deegree
* geomajas
* Geoserver
* Mapbender
* Mapfish
* Mapguide open source
* MapServer
* OpenLayers
Web Map Service

O serviço de mapas OpenGIS Web Map Service (WMS) fornece uma interface simples para pedidos de imagens (mapa) via HTTP. Estas imagens (mapas), estão numa ou mais base de dados geoespaciais distribuídas. Um pedido WMS define a(s) camada(s) geográfica(s) e a área de interesse, cuja resposta ao pedido consiste numa ou mais imagens de um mapa (no formato JPEG, PNG, etc.), as quais podem ser visualizadas num navegador Web. A interface também oferece suporte à capacidade para especificar se as imagens em causa devem ser transparentes para poder combinar diversas camadas.

Web Site Committee Motion

I, Frank Warmerdam, move that a "Web Site Committee" be designated to manage the foundation web site and related resources. The initial committee membership shall include:
* Daniel Brookshier (chair)
* Howard Butler (hobu@iastate.edu)
* Fred Warnock (fwarnock@dmsolutions.ca)
* Perry Nacionales nacional@cbs.umn.edu
The web site committee has responsibilities to:
* maintain and update the foundation web site.
* recommend appropriate website technologies (ie. wiki)
* decide and implement a site wide style guideline.
* support foundation projects in use of portal technologies and common style.
* adding and removing committee members as needed.
* report back to the board (via Chair) to the board monthly on activities and issues.
* pursue translation of portions of the site into other languages.
=== Notes ===
* The web site committee should operate a public mailing list for discussing changes so that non-members can make recommendations, and follow discussions. 
* Major decisions (ie. wiki tech, web site styling) should be forwarded to the board. 
* The web site committee should not "create foundation policy". That is, (non-website) policies of the foundation should be decided by the board, and published by the web site committee. The committee can produce new documents that reflect existing policy or are non-controversial in nature.
* All members of the committee should have SVN access to update the web site. 
* The committee does not have control of web pages for foundation projects with the exception of pseudo-projects like "board.osgeo.org" and such that are still core foundation activities.
=== Additional Notes on the Collabnet infrastructure ===
There are four key areas of the site to be managed:
# The home page, header, footer, left nav, and right community news column. This should also include all content related to the site, education, and foundation documentation.
# The left nav for project pages.
# General domain administrations and settings.
# The OSGeo Wiki
----
This motion was accepted at the First Board Meeting. See the Website Committee page for more information.
