Describe the bug

A empty space or the alt text is visible if a blogpost or a profile don't have an image.

Expected behavior
If a blogpost or profile don't have an image, there should be a default image inserted as a fallback.

Tasks

• Detect if a file exists
• Add a fallback image for blogpost on blog/homepage
• Add a fallback image for people's avatar

Recently, a couple of teams formed with the goal to translate MOOC's modules in other languages than english (see main/#31). So, I tought it'll be nice to also translate the website.

Before that, there's a few things we need to consider before starting translating the website.

First, Jekyll doesn't support multilingual websites out-of-the-box. There's plugins for that but they aren't maintained a lot. But, there's other static site generators like Hugo that have this functionality builtin.

Second, I'm actually working on a redesign of the website (It's almost done). Adding the ability to translate the website would then means we'll have to postpone the launch of the redesign if we decide to move to Hugo. However, I think moving to Hugo has more pros than cons in the long run.

Any suggestions, questions?

the homeage https://opensciencemooc.eu/ needs an update and can we make Eliademy more visible? Like add their logo and a button to register for the courses that are already available?

here is the website: https://fosh-following-demand.github.io/en/home

We should use a naming convention for files' and directories' names.

Reasons

• Case sensitive vs. insensitive

  On Mac/Linux, Filename.md and filename.md aren't the same file but on Windows they
  are. That means we could overwrite by error a file.

• SEO ranking

  mysite.com/site and mysite.com/Site are seen as the same page by the major search engine. They would flag those pages as duplicate content and it can impact on our SEO ranking.

• Unsafe and reserved characters in URL

  That one is really technical! Even me, I learned the real reason today :).

  The space character is unsafe because significant spaces may disappear and insignificant spaces may be introduced when URLs are transcribed or typeset or subjected to the treatment of word-processing programs. -- from IEFT RFC 1738 Standard

  There's a list of other unsafe and reserved characters. In the next section I'll propose an easy solution.

Solution

• No capital letters permitted;

• Use only alphanumerical characters;

• Every files should use an hyphen in place of whitespace.

  John Smith.md : john-smith.md
  A_Picture_of_Me.jpg : a-picture-of-me.jpg
  

  Consider using punctuation in your URLs. The URL http://www.example.com/green-dress.html is much more useful to us than http://www.example.com/greendress.html. We recommend that you use hyphens (-) instead of underscores (_) in your URLs. -- from Google Guideline for their crawler bot

Tasks

• rename all files and folders
• rewrite any line of code that point to a file (e.g metadata between --- at the top of certain files)

If you find other tasks that need to be done, don't hesitate to comment on this issue. I'll update that post if needed.

Describe the bug
Website isn't GDPR-compliant

Expected behavior
it should be?

Additional context
Here's an example of a privacy policy : https://www.fosteropenscience.eu/privacy-policy

List of social medias when want to target:

• facebook
• twitter
• mastodon
• ???

What we need:

• Possibility to format post for each platform
• Limit post to specific platforms
• ???

Solution:

Use jekyll to generate an RSS feed that we could use as an input source in IFTTT.com or zapier.com Huginn.

Question for folks: How would you like it if we were to build a forum into the existing site? (note, atm the domain is being transferred over and opensciencemooc.eu will become the main domain shortly-ish).

At the moment I'm wondering now how easy/difficult it would be to essentially just host everything through the main site as a one stop shop, but then also externally host it through other places too..

So one of the big things with MOOCs these days is encouraging peer to peer learning within a community space, rather than just a unidirectional learning flow. And part of that could be easily achieved by having a forum, where people could come in and ask/answer Qs about the MOOC, and general open science stuff.

So P2P have this, and the concept of learning circles could be overlaid with each module, in theory.. https://community.p2pu.org/

I had a chat with @dannycolin about this already, who mentioned we could use some software called Discourse and host it ourselves, using some clever tech things that I have no idea about.

Thoughts?

Describe the task

People's page needs to be updated

Task list

• Add Erzsebet and Wojciech to the Advisors team
• And Tony (Asking him later, assuming he will say yes)

This is part of my proposal to make the website compliant with the WCAG 2.1 Guide (see #16).

Since we need to refactor some code in order to make it compliant, I've proposed to deprecated Bootstrap. Why :

• It isn't maintained anymore (Bootstrap 4 is the new version)
• It use old CSS and Javascript technology
• It doesn't consider web accessibility as a first-class citizen

Todo :

• Add Foundation 6 (We won't need some part but for now I added the whole library)
• Replace Bootstrap code with Foundation

Resources

• Videos on Flexbox and CSS Grid (https://www.youtube.com/layoutland) made by Jen Simmons. She's working at Mozilla and have a lot of experience in web development.
• Web development documentation (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn)

Find a way to integrate this https://github.com/lhehnke/opensciencemooc-followers from @lhehnke as a blog post.

Either as :

• a single static page
• something that regularly updates on the site.
  • github commits and stars
  • twitter followers, likes and retweet
  • eliademy

cc @dannycolin @tosteiner

As we've reshuffled a bit, we're gonna need to have a new subsection for the people page. Atm, we have the Steering Committee and development team. Can we add a new subsection for 'Advisors', and then I can reshuffle the people and add new profiles as needed?

• Move team/group info to a data file (e.g. _data/teams/team-name.yml)
• Create a group's layout

With my last PR (#13) the documentation to add a person to the people's page is outdated.

To do :

• Change the example
• Add information to let people know that they can add new social networks' links to their profile
  The list in _data/networks is limited for now but I'll update it during the week.

Here's a list of things I think we could add to the documentation. If you think about anything else just let me know and I'll add it to the list. Also, there's a CONTRIBUTING.md file in the devel branch that's where I'm going to add stuff because I want to keep the README.md as short as possible :).

• How to install Jekyll locally (see #50)
• Quick guide/cheat sheet to use/remember git command
  (e.g. difference between git pull and git pull --rebase and when to use them)
• Styleguide for the code
• Naming convention
• Issue template
  • Bugreport
  • Feature Request

We could also reuse this documentation and/or part of it for the other repository we have or
even the future one.

The resources page is written in HTML and it's really hard to read and maintain. So it would be nice if we could have a Markdown version.

In addition, we could also move each module's resources in the module's page it is linking to.

Ideas and suggestions welcomed!

@dannycolin soo, I was thinking... if I wanted to add the infrastructure post to the blog roll, how would this work?

Just add the md-file to https://github.com/OpenScienceMOOC/site/tree/master/_posts , and that's it? And where can I put media files?
Thanks in advance!

(just thinking aloud here: maybe we can also pull Lisa's post in as per #47 ? cc @Protohedgehog )

From here https://github.com/lhehnke/lhehnke.github.io/blob/master/_posts/2019-06-02-openscience-follower-analysis.md

Ideas and suggestions for this welcomed!

Here's a list of reasons why we should migrate to Hugo:

• It supports translation (#43) out-of-the-box
• Easier to install and run locally.
  • People will be about to test there modifications before pushing to the website in production
  • Help prevent people to crash the website by accident
• It's faster to generate the website
  • It takes ~6sec with Jekyll to regenerate the website each time you save a modification
• More powerful template language.
  • Reduce the complexity of the source code
  • Easier to maintain
  • Can add new functionalities to help people how wants to add content to the website

A few pages on the new website need content.

Tasks

• All: Increase line-height and paragraph spacing
• All: Increase color contrast (green on black)
• People: Update list
• [x] Get-Involved: Decrease headings font size
• Hero: Slogan on two lines instead of three
• [x] Hero: Change "enroll" for something catchier
• Footer: Increase top spacing
• [x] Mission: Rephrase the "about" text to look more like an organization mission statement.
• Modules: Add a ToC sidebar

We want to get the github built website which is currently here:
https://opensciencemooc.github.io/site/
To take over this URL of the old website:
https://opensciencemooc.eu/

When I did the migration for my own websites (e.g. kevinmoerman.org) I had help from a friend, so I do not fully remember the steps. We used cloudflare in the past and I think we followed these instructions:

• https://help.github.com/articles/using-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages/
• https://medium.freecodecamp.org/an-illustrated-guide-for-setting-up-your-website-using-github-cloudflare-5a7a11ca9465

It involves creating a CNAME file (e.g. https://github.com/Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman/Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman.github.io/blob/master/CNAME) and to make some settings over at cloudflare. Next we'll have to have the correct URL names in our _config.yml file. However I do not remember the full details of the steps over at cloudflare (or a similar service). Can other people help make the transfer happen? @dannycolin can you assist here too?

trying to modify icons depending on the module status. (see my branch)
I can't write to svg (see ropensci/magick#202) yet. Any way to use .png files instead, or should we wait for the ropensci team to check the bug?

Since we are going to remove the old bootstrap 3 code, I was wondering if you'll be ok if I license the new CSS code under the AGPLv3 license instead of MIT license. The AGPLv3 license is kind of the CC-BY-SA but for software code. That mean, any fork needs to be share-like (with the same license).

Hi folks, so I just made this nice little presentation for the site: https://github.com/OpenScienceMOOC/Main/blob/master/MOOC_presentation.pdf

It's available in PDF, odp, and pptx formats for now. Any thoughts on the best way to embed (or link to) this in the website? Do we even need a new page for things like media, or just be content linking out to GitHub..?

Here: https://opensciencemooc.github.io/site/Documents/ - not needed anymore.

Is this just a case of deleting the Documents.html file, or will that cause a bit of a mess? @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman @dannycolin

• Add target=_blank to open the calendar in a new tab as a temporary fix
• Create a subdomain (cal.opensciencemooc.eu)
• Reproduce o.e website menu on cal.o.e

This page https://opensciencemooc.github.io/site/modules/ could be updated to reflect the new logos designed by @hiiammike. @dannycolin any quick way to do this? The html looks a little complicated for me..

Our mission folks, should we choose/decide to accept it... is to make Open Science MOOC website more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities.

From "need to do early" to "can do whenever"

From email:

As you may have heard, Open2Study is no longer offering short courses and their site is closed since last January.

Here is where I found their link: https://opensciencemooc.eu/resources/

Would you consider changing it for https://classpert.com (a free search engine for online courses I recently launch)?

Hi folks, so @johav has been awesome and standardised the logo sizes for all partners here: https://github.com/OpenScienceMOOC/site/tree/master/img/partnergallery/OS%20MOOC%20-%20partner%20logos

I just want to check, if we want to replace the current logos in the partner gallery with all of these, is it a simple copy and paste job into the partnergallery folder, and replacing all the older ones? Danke!
