I used the word "many" to indicate that not all services are done yet :) The original text was more apprehensive: *OSGeo is endevouring to using allow members, software users, and developers to access a variety of OSGeo services with a single userid and password. At this time we are only part way

Well, I created an OSGEO Userid, now let's hope it gets OKd ;-) By the way, on the creation page it states "OSGeo user IDs provide access to many OSGeo services, including bug trackers and wikis. " You'd probably want to change that as I now understand the Wiki is the thing NOT included...? You

Please login and add it Dirk, you should have an OSGeo userid, or can request one using the links on this page - https://staging.www.osgeo.org/community/getting-started-osgeo/osgeo_userid/ The local chapters are a content type in wordpress (just like a blog post or a project page) so you will be c

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Website 15th relaunch - members and local chapters

It is not required to be a legal body to be an official local chapter, perhaps we can start a new email thread to go over the http://www.osgeo.org/content/chapters/guidelines.html ? That page on chapter formation asks only what form the local chapter takes (and unincorporated is a legal form). Tha

The OSGeo wiki has not been integrated with the "single sign on" OSGeo userid used for other OSGeo web services (I do not really know why). The page I linked to (https://staging.www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid) had information on how to set up one of these accounts, it is the same one used for the trac

Hi Zoltan, Actually it is not required for a local chapter to be a legal body; the Hungary chapter should send a request to the OSGeo Board to become a formal chapter. :) -jeff -- Jeff McKenna President Emeritus, OSGeo Foundation http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Jeff_McKenna On 2018-

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Website 15th relaunch - members and local chapters

Dear Jody, our local chapter (Hungary) is the "in Formation" category on the old OSGeo web page. We have no legal body, which blocks to be an official local chapter (AFAIK). I can't see two categoties of local chapters on the new home page. Can I add non-official Hungarian local chapter to the

Hi Jody, Something's not working as I expected: I thought "Login with your OSGeo id" meant I could use the ID and PW I have been using in the past (for the OSGOE wiki etc). But this does not seem the case. Do I really have to create a fully new account...? -- Bestuur Stichting OSGEO.nl Barend

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Website 15th relaunch - members and local chapters

A couple of people have asked how to add a local chapter to the website. It looks like there are two kinds "Community Group" and "Official Chapter". The list of local chapters is here - https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Local_Chapters 0. If your local chapter is still "in formation" now is a great tim
