| 02:59:31 | cpm: | Good Morning! |
| 07:22:41 | seven: | Ping darkblue_B: |
| 08:42:48 | crschmidt: | For anyone interested in following along, #where2.0 on this network is the 'backchannel' for the Where 2.0 conference happening right now in San Jose, California. |
| 08:51:40 | steko: | crschmidt: thanks |
| 13:37:51 | TylerM: | FrankW: fyi - digging those details for peo right now |
| 13:38:00 | TylerM: | digging "up" |
| 16:11:41 | jgarnett: | crschmidt ping? |
| 16:13:26 | crschmidt: | pong |
| 16:13:47 | jgarnett: | I had a quick question for you along the website/marketting boundary |
| 16:13:55 | crschmidt: | k |
| 16:14:03 | jgarnett: | I have been looking over the marketting stuff Tyler had very carefully |
| 16:14:14 | jgarnett: | and have been thinking about how to apply it to website branding |
| 16:14:33 | jgarnett: | I wanted to ask if the graphic designer was already on the hook for this - and I should just wait; or if I should proceed. |
| 16:14:49 | crschmidt: | Ah, nobody has talked to me or webcom about it |
| 16:14:53 | crschmidt: | so i'd recommend checking with tyler |
| 16:15:03 | jgarnett: | It seems that you share my interest in improving the osgeo branding story; so I thought I would start with you :- ) |
| 16:15:39 | jgarnett: | you know the material I am refering to though? |
| 16:15:58 | jgarnett: | the other thing is an oppertunity ... |
| 16:16:38 | jgarnett: | the geotools community would like to set up a website; rather than a wiki. So I would have a chance to try out the osgeo branding on an otherwise innocent project ( getting the fonts and color choices used to be consistent etc... |
| 16:17:18 | jgarnett: | to that end are you the correct person to talk to about http://geotools.osgeo.org/ ( which right now redirects ) |
| 16:17:21 | sigq: | Title: GeoTools InfoSheet | OSGeo.org ( at geotools.osgeo.org ) |
| 16:28:14 | jgarnett: | srschmidt: perhaps the question is too simple; how would I go about creating something similar to http://mapguide.osgeo.org/ |
| 16:28:15 | sigq: | Title: MapGuide Project Home | MapGuide Open Source ( at mapguide.osgeo.org ) |
| 16:28:29 | jgarnett: | is that just an instance of drupal? |
| 16:28:37 | crschmidt: | mapguide.osgeo.org is hosted as a seperate drupal instance |
| 16:28:42 | crschmidt: | and I believe may even be on osgeo2 instead of osgeo1 |
| 16:28:56 | crschmidt: | it was set up and is maintained primarily by Jason, I think? |
| 16:29:31 | jgarnett: | I am not aware of the organization of osgeo hardware; this is partly why I do not know what questions to ask |
| 16:29:45 | jgarnett: | should I sign up to the website committee to ask these questions? |
| 16:29:50 | crschmidt: | Yeah, and a lot of this was set up before my time or without my knowledge |
| 16:29:57 | crschmidt: | so I'm unfortunately at a loss to answer your questions |
| 16:30:05 | crschmidt: | I would say that sending an email to the webcom list with what you'r elooking for |
| 16:30:09 | crschmidt: | and asking how mapguide does it |
| 16:30:15 | crschmidt: | ould let the people who actually know help answer you : ) |
| 16:30:35 | jgarnett: | okay thanks for the advice; back to work for me now. |
| 17:48:51 | FrankW: | jgarnett: I'll mention that the fdo.osgeo.org and mapguide.osgeo.org drupal sites are hosted on osgeo1. Tyler is likely the best contact if you wantted another project drupal instance. |
| 17:51:27 | jgarnett: | thanks frank |
| 17:51:51 | jgarnett: | I would prefer a simple html / php site if there is an apache instance to be had |
| 17:52:09 | jgarnett: | but yes I have sent Tyler an email |
| 17:52:27 | jgarnett: | I am as much interested in the branding stuff as the website |
| 17:52:33 | jgarnett: | :-P |
| 18:03:09 | FrankW: | We normally host simplier html web sites on the telascience blade known as upload.osgeo.org, grass.osgeo.org, www.mapserver.org and various other things. |
| 18:03:30 | FrankW: | If you would like an instance hosted there SAC can provide access and info on short notice. |
| 18:04:58 | jgarnett: | I would rather do it correctly then short notice |
| 18:05:24 | jgarnett: | although if it is available that would be fine for me |
| 18:05:25 | FrankW: | Well, we can also do it given long advance notice! |
| 18:05:36 | jgarnett: | good good :- ) |
| 18:06:14 | FrankW: | But that doesn't necessarily address OSGeo branding. I don't think any of the plain html sites have made much effort to apply OSGeo styling similar to the drupal instances. |
| 18:06:38 | jgarnett: | agreed; I think that is partly because there have not been much for OSGeo styling .... yet. |
| 18:06:54 | FrankW: | true |
| 18:07:02 | jgarnett: | I was going to abuse the poor geotools community by using them as an experiment in osgeo styling; blaze a trail and all that |
| 18:07:24 | FrankW: | In the case of the GDAL web site, it is generated with Doxygen so it isn't entirely trivial for me to control things about the styling. |
| 18:07:29 | jgarnett: | although I would not want it to come across as geotools doing something to annoy others. |
| 18:07:38 | FrankW: | not at all |
| 18:07:51 | jgarnett: | this would still just be me being a pain with respect to my usual; we should look like a group; etc... |
| 18:08:14 | jgarnett: | I know mapserver just did a site refresh for example. |
| 18:08:44 | jgarnett: | okay well the SAC access sounds like the best then; where do I start :- ) |
| 18:08:57 | FrankW: | that's true. I don't think "osgeo styling" was particularly an objective other than including the OSGeo logo on th e main page. |
| 18:09:14 | FrankW: | Your osgeo userid is jive, right? |
| 18:09:48 | jgarnett: | yep we got distracted by logos and website layout for the foundation as a whole; this time we are starting with a logo and font choices and colors made etc.... makes it easier. |
| 18:09:54 | jgarnett: | jive is correct |
| 18:10:02 | : | * FrankW digs for how to login enable an osgeo userid... |
| 18:11:48 | FrankW: | ok, you should now be able to login to the telascience blades using your normal LDAP account. |
| 18:11:56 | FrankW: | I'll add sudo for you on the blade in question. |
| 18:12:22 | FrankW: | done |
| 18:12:47 | FrankW: | Info on the blade in question ( xblade14-2 ) is available at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/SAC_Service_Status |
| 18:12:48 | sigq: | Title: SAC Service Status - OSGeo Wiki ( at wiki.osgeo.org ) |
| 18:12:52 | jgarnett: | I may have to pester my friend mleslie for missing gaps in linux know-how |
| 18:13:13 | jgarnett: | ah - a very useful page |
| 18:13:46 | FrankW: | Normally you would put stuff you need under /osgeo/geotools ( for instance ), and you would need an apache conf file under /etc/httpd/conf.d/sites |
| 18:16:24 | FrankW: | This server has a fairly small disk, and is rather busy at times so try not to be too demanding of it. |
| 18:17:15 | mleslie: | I'm available to help jgarnett out next week, so I can keep him in line. |
| 18:17:41 | mleslie: | Though you can likely expect a small flurry of confused emails around then. |
| 18:17:43 | jgarnett: | not to worry; I am looking a 4 pages; possibly one picking up an RRS feed - nothing scary |
| 18:17:44 | FrankW: | It seems like some sort of snarky comment should be inserted at this point... |
| 18:18:05 | jgarnett: | ? |
| 18:18:21 | FrankW: | ( with regard to keeping jgarnett in line ) |
| 18:19:18 | jgarnett: | what? I thought I was the line |
| 18:19:20 | mleslie: | Mostly I just need to train him up on bash goodness : ) |
| 18:19:24 | jgarnett: | the line is way more fiun as a moving target |
| 18:19:45 | jgarnett: | jgarnett = 5 years of solaris all gone! |
| 18:20:56 | FrankW: | It'll come back! |
| 18:21:18 | FrankW: | I'm off now but there is usually someone around here who can help with telascience system stuff if there are questions. |
| 18:22:56 | jgarnett: | thanks muchly |
| 19:02:50 | hobu: | jgarnett: mapserver's website refresh was to take sphinx's default styling and just use it ; ) We're lazy ( and dumb ) |
| 19:02:55 | hobu: | ( but smart enough to use sphinx ; ) |
| 20:04:31 | jgarnett: | hobu that is interesting |
| 20:04:42 | jgarnett: | geoserver just went to sphinx for their docs |
