Hi Ambassadors!
I just created a blog post on the fedoracommunity.org redesign that Sijis and I have been working on in the websites team:
http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/07/19/fedoracommunity-org-website-design/
Thank you for the help you provided earlier in tracking down some of the various country sites; it made the mockups possible.
I wanted to know if you had any feedback on the design so far, and if we missed any community sites that you may be aware of. Do let us know. I am hoping this site can serve as a helpful tool for Fedora Ambassadors in the future, especially in directing new/potential users to their local community. Let me know if this makes sense!
Thanks, ~m
Mizmo,
I've been lurking around listening to the suggestions of the ambassadors to get their localized, region-specific versions of their pages up for each region. This interface looks super clean. Is the box at the top just an image, or is it an interactive map? If you could mouse over or click on a region, and then get to the region-specific pages associated with it, that would be pretty intuitive. Also, any kind of regional data, similar to the blogposts that lewk does at the EOL of the various Fedoras, with the heatmaps of downloads, and region-specific metrics would be kinda interesting. Just a thought, but all-in-all, quality work as always Mizmo. Keep on being a rockstar, and I'll show this off to our FOSS@RIT designers under the heading #doing_it_right. --RemyD.

I like that Design its clear, nice touch with the regions (its like a big company or World Domination Thingy *ggg*) and the colors. I hope if there will be content for each Region or Country then there will also be the main-points from the sub-page showed up on the mainpage...

Definitely looks awesome
The site of our community in Mexico needs a lot of tinkering and maintenance, could do with a redesign (currently it's only a hosted WordPress blog).
Of course, I'd be happy to help.
Greetings.

Hi Mo!
I have some questions about the way the regions are split up on the page. Why not keep the groups of countries (continents) in the structure that we regularily use when talking about Ambassador regions? That being APAC, EMEA, LATAM, NA. For example in your mockup Europe and Africa & Middle East are seperate. The americas comprise of NA and LATAM. I do understand that splitting them up by continent makes sense too, but it would be more coherent with our existing structures IMO.
Even if the grouping by continent is to be kept you still might want to rename Asia & Australia to Asia & Pacific or something alike to make our members from New Zealand happy, too ;)
And also it's funny that you state the following on your blog: "Both national flags and national borders can, in a few cases, be quite controversial and stir up hard feelings so we did our best to avoid them in the design." And right in that mockup the world map does contain national borders. Just sayin' ;)
Other than that the design really rocks and I'm excited to see all the local communities' websites come together in one central place.
Thanks to you and all the other people that put effort in creating this page.

guys, where is http://ap.fedoracommunity.org .. as what Mr. Felix said for Apac region? We can create sub-region i.e http://ap.fedoracommunity.org/my for Malaysia ..

It's another layer for users to click through. But if you check the link on the op, you will see the mockup.

That's a really great idea. I did the continent split bceause I thought it might be the least-controversial way to do it, but I think splitting out by ambassador region makes more sense. Although it means the NA section is going to be *very* sparse, hehe. Splitting by continents, each section is individually a bit beefier than the Ambassador region split. But I think the consistency of splitting by Ambassador region is more valuable so I'll modify the mockup to employ that scheme!

Ha! You got me there, and of course no offense intended, I'll fix it!

Yehh..... that is just a filler though. The full world map has the borders and I was lazy to remove them because it's a very complex vector and it was taking too long to work with. The final graphic won't have those borders, I promise.
Actually Remy had the awesome idea to make the map a rollover nav, which I think would be awesome. So it may be switched to have that functionality - as you roll over a region it lights up in its respective color and allows you to click to view.
Other than that the design really rocks and I'm excited to see all the local communities' websites come together in one central place.
Thanks to you and all the other people that put effort in creating this page.
Yay we're so glad for the positive feedback! You've given some really awesome suggestions here and they'll definitely be incorporated into the design!!

Here's some static HTML mockups using the scheme Felix suggested:
http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/webdesign/fedoracommunity.org/html/16Aug2010/
What do you think? Does it work? North America looks a little weird... how do you think it should be handled, or do you think it's fine?
Also do you notice any missing countries? India doesn't seem to have a site? :(

While geography teachers would wail and gnash their teeth to find the North America map incomplete, I think it looks fine. No, better than fine: The page looks great.
Thanks, Mairin.

Awesome & creative design -- i liked it. i would just suggest you to re-think about the top grey menu, i guess the hover state for the items can be modified a bit little to be more beautiful. another point is the anchor links. i guess using the fedora logo colour for the :visited & :active would be better.

In the Script[1] that we use to build the Membership Page[2] - we get our information from the GeoIP Plugin, the Data are provided by continent so - we had to reorganize the Data - as example you see that Africa is also seperate from EMEA. Right now FAmA has not the time to work on it - maybe someone want to work on it, if it is important enough.

It might be good idea to include Mexico in the description in order to make it even more clear. Could be something like:
"The Latin America region, including Mexico, Central & South America, is served by the Fedora Ambassadors LATAM group."

As Nushio, our ambassador from Mexico, use to say: "Mexico is neither North America, nor Latin America, Mexico is Mexico!"
Since it is dubious, even for Mexicans, it is good to make clear where we classify them.

Aside from México been México, and taking the fact that will be very difficult for México to run as one Fedora Region by themselves... Should not be asked openly where they want to be.

In additionally - here at Hungary - the HULUG has purchased storage space for the hungarian fedora community... And we begun to develop the site too. We will need the hu.fedoracommunity.org domain if its possible. Also, I have talked several .sk (slovenia) guys who also wants to participate after this site has activated.
Please give me guidance, criteria info and needs about the local fedora site, and about the domain...

Actually, I think the best place to start is more like this order:
* Figure out what it is that you need to do in your community that you can't do on current Fedora infrastructure. We can already provide language-specific wiki pages, mailing lists, IRC chat, and a way for your contributors to help translate the fedoraproject.org website into your language (if we don't already have it).
* If there's something left that you need, it's best to set up (or mock up a design of) the site that you want to create before you contact the Board. That way when you do contact the Board, there's a visual representation of what you're proposing to build. That helps the Board members offer appropriate guidance for things like trademarks, links back to Fedora, and so on.

I have some questions about the way the regions are split up on the
page.
Why not keep the groups of countries (continents) in the structure that we regularily use when talking about Ambassador regions? That being APAC, EMEA, LATAM, NA. For example in your mockup Europe and Africa & Middle East are
seperate.
The americas comprise of NA and LATAM. I do understand that splitting them up by continent makes sense too,
but
it would be more coherent with our existing structures IMO.
That's a really great idea. I did the continent split bceause I thought it might be the least-controversial way to do it, but I think splitting out by ambassador region makes more sense. Although it means the NA section is going to be *very* sparse, hehe. Splitting by continents, each section is individually a bit beefier than the Ambassador region split. But I think the consistency of splitting by Ambassador region is more valuable so I'll modify the mockup to employ that scheme!
Here's some static HTML mockups using the scheme Felix suggested:

What do you think? Does it work? North America looks a little weird... how do you think it should be handled, or do you think it's fine?
Also do you notice any missing countries? India doesn't seem to have a site? :(
Bangladesh don't a have site too, is it possible do a mockup as well for the http://bd.fedoracommunity.org too or what?

I really like the design and hope it gets deployed soonish.
Just one remark: regional teams may have more than one resource to promote. For instance, we have language specific irc channels and mailing lists: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help#Regional_Resou... and I'm pretty sure there are more on identi.ca, twitter, twitter, facebook., etc
So, I'd suggest we move this kind of content in the wiki, possibly creating a new "Regional" category and/or subproject for helping regional teams ( ReTe ?) resources to be more discoverable, and make the links from the new fedoracommunity pages to the each ReTe's page in the wiki
What do you think?
