Modernizing opensourcediversity.org: developers and content creators wanted

[jwf (Justin W. Flory (he/him))]

Hi all, following up on this thread with the discussion details from today’s monthly call:

@jwf

• Goal : Update our website to a popular static site generator tool to improve our ability to manage reviews and change proposals, and explore new categories of content in our website.
• Next steps :
  • Content from existing site already in place.
  • Requirements gathering to create project charter / plan.
  • Wireframing and prototyping new tool with existing content.
  • Success criteria: Pre-existing content is visible and discoverable in the updated site.
  • AI: Telegram group for dedicated chat for committers. *AI: Set up developer meeting, invite developers to committers.
• Examples ?
  • https://qaira.github.io/
  • https://vrapeutic.github.io/
  • https://rentadronecl.github.io/
• How does OSD want to approach this?
  • What problems do we want to solve?
  • Requirements, thinking on the “why”, what you want to achieve, who you want to talk to for feedback
  • Identifying stakeholders?
  • What is the value in doing this?
  • would be good if someone gives a glimpse of the problems with the current site
• Outreach: Support/guidance on Open Source Design job board? Bring in design support from the other OSD (Open Source Design)
• Kanban / project management tool to help us stay organized. Figure out in first development meeting.
• CI pipeline fix?

We will need to set up a developer meeting to begin next steps to work on the website. We will begin with a requirements gathering exercise to guide us on next steps. We should begin working on a timeline to present back to the community at the next August monthly meeting.

I have invited more folks to the GitHub team with commit access. I also created a Telegram group for developers:

O.S. Diversity site dev

More to come soon! Let us know any questions, concerns, or thoughts you have in this thread.
