set up oceanplanning.org

[almccon]

Maybe me or @sconnelley. I suppose we need to decide whether this can be hosted on gh-pages or needs to be somewhere else.

[danrademacher]

Moore purchased that domain. @almccon it would be great to run this off GH pages. Can that be done even given the map tiles? I seem to recall that hosting tiled maps on GH pages is a bad idea for some reason (too many files in git maybe?)

[almccon]

No matter where we host it, maybe it's better to leave the map tiles on Mapbox, either in our Stamen account, or in an account that Moore owns. It just keeps things simpler.

So if we leave the tiles on Mapbox, I think we can host everything else from gh-pages. Anything that would prevent that, @sconnelley? I can't think of anything.

[almccon]

So, if we are going to host this on gh-pages, can we do it from this repo, or do we need/want to create a separate repo and/or group for it?

[sconnelley]

@danrademacher, so are we doing github pages for this?

[danrademacher]

That's what I'm pushing for. I don't think I have successfully communicated to Mary what that means. She connected me to the tech person at their grantee org that they want to host it, so maybe that will be more useful discussion. "hosting" is a misnomer if we go the recommended gh pages plus map box route. But shared management would be good and that's what I want to sell him on

[danrademacher]

@sconnelley OK, I'm about to say we'll go ahead with Github Pages. Can we just make a Github user called "oceanplanning" and then put the final cloned repo there?

[almccon]

Probably just want to create a group. And then we make a repo inside that group called oceanplanning.github.io, which can have oceanplanning.org as an alias. Similar to how maptime does it: https://github.com/maptime/maptime.github.io

We could fork the Stamen repo there, or we just push all the files to a fresh repo (without forking) so we squash any history. That sounds best to me.

[danrademacher]

@almccon -- group = organization in this context, right? I can't see how to make anything called a "group". Assuming so, I'm going to go ahead and make an ocean planing org

[almccon]

Right, sorry, I meant organization.

OK, @almccon and @sconnelley should have invites to the new organizations, and an empty repo is here: https://github.com/oceanplanning/oceanplanning.org

[danrademacher]

Once there's something there and we can make a gh-pages branch, I need to have Robert Smik Robert.Smik@moore.org point oceanplanning,org at the appropriate IP

[mojodna]

CNAME to oceanplanning.github.io.

[danrademacher]

Oh, right. Easy!

[sconnelley]

@danrademacher -- Do you want me to push current code to that repo now or wait till tmrw

[danrademacher]

@sconnelley -- if it's easy to do it 2x, go for it. Otherwise, it's fine to wait

[sconnelley]

It's working but need to improve the workflow and document http://oceanplanning.github.io/
