Dear all, We would like to schedule our next GBIF hosted portals community call. We have some new teams joining this group and would like to catch up on all hosted portals: * For those who have not yet launched, we would welcome an update on plans and progress, and especially feedback on anything that is blocking you from going live. * For those who have launched, we would welcome any tips on how you have been promoting your portal, and any feedback you have received from your users. * And from all of you, we would like to invite ideas on which feature you would like to see developed next. Please indicate your availability to join a call using this doodle poll: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/azKBjomb We will come back to you with a zoom link and agenda once we have set the date.

Map options
by Morten Høfft 28 Jun '22

28 Jun '22

Hi We just added more map options to your websites. It is now possible to change map projections and change base maps. Your sites default to showing only the Mercator projection. Just as it was before. But it can now be configured to * Show Mercator, Plate Caree, Arctic and Antarctic (same projections as on GBIF.org) * A selection of differently styled base maps * Language support (e.g. Spanish or Japanese base maps) * Add satellite tiles and terrain tiles from Maptiler (requires you to get a free access key) You can read more here: Documentation: https://hp-theme.gbif-staging.org/data-exploration-config#map-options Satellite and terrain maps: https://github.com/gbif/hosted-portals/issues/229 Antarctic map as default: https://hp-antarctic.gbif-staging.org/occurrence/search/?view=MAP Feel free to reach out if you want to add more map types to your site, but aren’t sure how to go about it. Best Morten

Dear all, We are happy to have recently opened GBIF's hosted portals programme<https://www.gbif.org/news/5D3ijLXMbpiZDBj0y0z1J/gbif-launches-hosted-portal…>. This builds on the success of the pilot phase - so thank you again for all your contributions! We have already received a few new applications, and we know that work is ongoing for several pilot phase teams. We'd like to have a hosted portals community call to catch up on progress and introduce the new teams. From here on, we will aim to hold these community calls about every quarter so that we can stay connected and get inspired by what others are working on. Please indicate your availability to join the community call using this doodle poll: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/aO7gDkNa I will confirm the preferred time and provide a meeting link at the end of the week. Draft agenda: 1. Intro presentation on the progress since the pilot phase last year, and the new hosted portals programme (Melianie) 2. Round of updates from the teams represented on the call (all) 3. Presentation of recent work and new collection demo sites (Morten and Tim) Looking forward to connecting with you all.
