Note it's not yet decided if we'll replace Identity with Phabricator or if 
we'll use something else.

(I was going to throw my opinion of such a replacement here, but I realized it 
would make this thread quickly go off topic)

If I read the documentation [1] correctly, Phabricator (which would replace 
Identity) allows custom fields in user profiles, so we could still do that.

I also remembered it, but I didn't remember the location of the map. It's

We had a "heat-map" of committers in the old commit-digest:
https://commit-digest.kde.org/issues/2014-11-16/
So yes, it makes sense.

Also, for example:
https://www.debian.org/devel/developers.loc

If it's not for the fact that sysadmin want to replace identity, a custom 
field there with the city and/or coordinates and some script to grab them, 
convert into geojson, and it's really easy (read: few lines of code) to setup 
a map with leaflet.

Nice!
Though a zoomable map would be nicer, because on that map it's a bit difficult 
to distinguish cities in more crowded countries.

Creating a map of KDE contributors?

2016-09-20 Thread Thomas Pfeiffer

Hi everyone,
I recently realized that unless you ask fellow KDE contributors personally where 
they live, you don't really know where over the world (or even in your home 
country) KDE is spread.


I think this is a pity, given that knowing that would allow us to, among other 
things

- show the world how globally wide-spread KDE is
- make it easier to organize local events (like release parties or just local 
meetups)

- determine who could help with local FOSS events where KDE could participate
- pick locations for sprints or conferences depending on minimal overall travel 
effort


Therefore, I would like to create a map of KDE contributors' home towns (the 
towns/cities would be enough, no need to know the precise location). Ideally it 
would be possible for people to decide whether they want their name to show up 
publicly, or whether they just want to show up as an anonymous contributor.


So, two questions:
1. Does that make sense to you?
2. If yes: Does anyone know of a piece of code that allows people to enter their 
city of residence and then show people on a map (ideally as an OSM overlay), or 
could otherwise maybe create it?


Cheers,
Thomas
