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 to our goal. This page
describes how to get, and use an OSGeo userid and the services it can be
used with.*


If we are going for a single sign on OSGeo userid we should do so, and as
you say list services that have not been migrated yet.

Trac also provide wikis, maybe that's what the text refers too.
The whole "including ..." part may be removed though, as
there's a comprensive list below.

Do you have privileges to edit that page, on the staging website ?

By the way, on the creation page it states "OSGeo user IDs provide access to

The "OSGeo Wiki" is the only service _not_ Using the "OSGeo ID".
All the others ("etc."?) do.

Please read about it in:
http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid
(OSGEo Userid Enabled Services)

I'm really sorry and inconvenienced too about this duplication
of accounts. If you know anyone who can help fixing this situation
there's a ticket here that has been pending for 10 years now:

This is great idea to join local GIS groups and add open source to them. This 
is what we are doing for geoeducation. Once GIS education is spread in 
universities and schools , we can use the opportunity to spread open principles 
easily 

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 creating a new local chapter page once
you have logged in as an editor. I sent an email earlier in this thread
with step by step instructions.

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

[Jody Garnett]

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).

That form also has room for "community groups", please add the non-official
Hungarian local chapter that way and see if it works.

In my area of North America we join local GIS groups and add open source to
them, so there has been less interest in making local chapters.

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

[Jody Garnett]

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 issue tracker, svn, git and so forth ...

When creating an OSGeo userid with that form you have to wait for a system
admin committee member to review your application (conform you are a person
and active in our community since we get a lot of spammers) and to email
you magic "mantra" to fill in when setting up your account for the first
time.

I am not sure how getting access to the OSGeo wiki works, but all these
students have been doing it so I hope it is automated.

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

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

[Jody Garnett]

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 time to ask
the board to recognize your group! (The OSGeo Portuguese chapter is doing
this now - congrats!)

For the existing local chapters:

1. Sign into the website using your osgeo userid
2. There is editor bar added along the top of the page, click the wordpress
symbol
3. Along the right side of the page is all the difference content types
from projects to local chapters
4. Click "local chapter" and choose "Add New"

You may need to add a new "Location" for your local chapter, it is a bit
more tricky as some groups are language based and have a list of locations
across the world.

If you do not get any edit options when signed in please reach out out on
the SAC IRC or via email and we can make sure you are an editor.
