Pimp the "We do" section

[gr2m]

Goal of this section is to show off. Seriously, we do great stuff. Others should know. This trip is gonna happen. And that's our credibility. 'Cause we do that kind of hot shit

http://www.africahacktrip.org/#We_do

• [x] beautify me
• [x] let's get a name + short description for each project
• [x] make sure I didn't miss any
• [ ] give @gr2m a neck massages
• [x] actually ask if we can use these

[jancborchardt]

My first thought was to do it similar to the »We are« section, with logos to the left, the name next to it and the short description below. No expandable needed because the space suffices for the short description.

Maybe someone has a better idea though?

(Note to self: Remove StuttgartJS and Tel Aviv JS, replace with ownCloud, remoteStorage and Hacker Beach)

[gr2m]

cool, let's do it ;-)

And sorry for putting in the logos without asking, it's just so much more efficient to apologize afterwards ;-)

[jancborchardt]

Ok, will do it probably in the evening. :) And of course, no worries about the logos. Do first, fix later.

[gr2m]

Thanks Jan! <3

[gr2m]

@jancborchardt any updates? Do you need anything?

[gr2m]

@jancborchardt Could you give me an update? It would be great to have that done properly, as we reach out to sponsors & partners now

[xMartin]

Can we also add OpenTechSchool?

[gr2m]

Yes, please! I've put the logos together quite quickly just to have something out there. So whatever you feel is missing, both non-profit & commercial, please add it.

[jancborchardt]

I’d need some short description for each project. I’ll try to find some myself, but you can help me greatly by just pasting some here. Should be just simple, 2 lines.

Also, the logos should be square. For instance Upstream.Agile, doo and 5apps – would be cool if you can give me square logos. :)

[jancborchardt]

Did a rough start on it and pushed to a branch: https://github.com/AfricaHackTrip/africahacktrip.github.com/tree/we-do-section-improvement Will continue later but have to get going now. :)

[gr2m]

ah dood, if it's better than what we got at the moment, push it! It's in master now: http://www.africahacktrip.org/

And it's good when it's not 100% finished, puts more pressure on it to get it done ;-)

For reference, here's the old list of logos I've thrown in

[gr2m]

Hey @bumi @Buttonpresser @ChristophDerndorfer @endor @jancborchardt @langalex @skddc @xMartin @AnyaSchmidt

It's big Logo + Description Gathering party! So please add yours. Take co-up's logo as reference. And add a paragraph to describe why the project / product / company is so awesome.

We are AfricaHackTrip, and we are awesome, let's tell the rest of the world!

[gr2m]

It would be nice to make it less obtrusive, maybe showing only the logos in rows at first, showing more info on click?

[jancborchardt]

By the way: Do we want to sort »we do« or »we are« first?

[gr2m]

"We do" is sorted, "We are" is not yet, because I think it makes more sense this way from a visitor perspective, asking "who is behind this". But if you guys think it would be better to sort that as well, sure, I don't care too much, what ever is best from outside perspective at this point of the project.

[jancborchardt]

@gr2m no, I mean which section makes more sense to come first – »we do« as it is now, or »we are«?

[gr2m]

as sorry. I think "we do" should come first, as it describes us as a team. And I think it's an impressive list of cool stuff that we do, it makes a great first impression. Then, if the visitor things that's cool, she / he should see which individuals are behind this project.

[jancborchardt]

Right, good call.

[gr2m]

so what's still missing? 5Apps? Railslove? Upstream? What else? @langalex @bumi @skddc

[bumi]

awesome list!! great stuff! I've added some coworking stuff I've been involved with. need to find a matching railslove logo. will add it next week.

[langalex]

Here's an upstream logo. Description: "Upstream is a software consultancy based in Berlin, Germany. We deliver high quality web apps in short timespans."

I've changed the co.up (not Co-up :P ) and Cobot descriptions a bit.

[raucao]

Would be nice if you could use our colored one as well, if all the others are colored. I think I sent you all the versions already.

[gr2m]

Done: http://www.africahacktrip.org/#5apps

Text cool like that?

[raucao]

I was talking about the list of logos in this thread. ;)

You've actually used the product description of 5apps Deploy as a company description now. Probably best to just wait for me doing a pull request for the list entry. :)

[raucao]

I'm very short on time atm, I'll respond to all the questions and do a PR later this week or early next week.

[jancborchardt]

So I guess except some slight description changes which everyone can do individually, we pimped it damn good!

The only action item missing is giving @gr2m neck massages …

[ChristophDerndorfer]

I know I'm coming late to the party but was wondering whether I can still add a link and short description for OLPC Austria?

[jancborchardt]

@ChristophDerndorfer sure, just add it to the index.html, and the logo in assets/images/logos! :)

[gr2m]

The only action item missing is giving @gr2m neck massages

I got one today :-)

@ChristophDerndorfer yeah, sure, go ahead!

[ChristophDerndorfer]

Okay, just pushed the change.

@gr2m: Damn, I'm jealous!
