Foundation.mozilla.org: Add page for OWF, Science, Media Fellows

[auremoser]

Taking a layout model from #482, let me know if I should change the format here.

Context

I'd like to announce our Open Web Fellows and Science Fellows on our affiliate sites (see #654 for Science Website, #381 for Advocacy Website). I think this ideally should also propogate on the Network Site, and not sure what the best place for that given the current Network Site IA.

Plan

Ideally, I think this could just be a duplicate page to the Tech Policy Fellows Landing Page with the fellows names listed, and links to their twitter bios. To that end, I've attached bios, with links to their twitters and photos as a zip below.

OWF
2017-owf-bios.txt
owf-imgs.zip

Science (defined on the network site as "open data")
2017-science-bios.txt
science-imgs.zip

Media

AND we could continue to link to the respective Science and Advocacy fellows' pages, as they do on the main fellows' landing page on the network site.

Deadline

As with the other site updates, I'd love to wrap this by Friday of this week (9/8/17) or Monday (9/11/17) of next week so I can write blog announcements celebrating the fellows in a timely manner (prior to their onboarding at the end of September.

Thanks @auremoser. Do you have access to the CMS? If not, let's get you on there. We will gladly provide support on any aspect of this, but are eager to set you free.

As an early staff user, we'd welcome any feedback. A CMS comes with natural limitations, but we're glad to iron out wrinkles where it is easy and useful.

[xmatthewx]

cc @taisdesouzalessa – no work here for you at this point. Just making sure you witness discussion for any future UX considerations.

[auremoser]

Nope, I don't think I'm on the CMS @xmatthewx , feel free to set me up and I'll update things according to your instructions.

Thank you!

[hannahkane]

Thanks, @auremoser. My two cents:

• I think eventually all of the Fellowships content should live on the Network site, including bios as well as the program overviews and application instructions
• Ideally, we won't maintain the same content in multiple places
• My understanding is the reason we built the Tech Policy page was because that program didn't already have its own site. Any press release or blogs we published needed to point to _something_. Since the Open Web and Science fellows have sites, I'm not sure there's a need to build and maintain a page on the Network site as well. Blog posts/press releases can point to the relevant pages on Advocacy/Science (where there's already a more comprehensive set of information about the programs) and we can promote those blog posts on the Network site homepage.

[auremoser]

O.k. cool, thanks @hannahkane , in that case, I will proceed with updating the Advocacy and Science sites.

There's still a question of where the Media Art fellows will be featured cc/ @brettgaylor

Let me know if we should close this issue then?

[brettgaylor]

Maybe I should just make 'em a page on Network site?

In fact that's probably the way to go, since I'd also like to host a call for proposals for remaining grants there...

[hannahkane]

Just to clarify, I'm not the decider on this. Maybe @jessevondoom is?

[jessevondoom]

So chiming in with my 2¢ — I think it's fine to update the science/advocacy sites, but we'll have to move these things over eventually. So let's make sure we save the bios and photos you collected here for when we're ready to start moving everyone over.

And yeah let's hook up a site for the Media fellows on the Network site now.

Hi all, sorry I haven't responded earlier. This is my first time collaborating on GitHub, but now I have my bearings. I know that centralizing communication about fellowships is a big priority this year that @rizwan have been thinking about a lot. As such, is there any way we might be able to post the new fellows's bios all in one place, like this page using the format of the TPF page for now until we port the info to the new site? I know the OWF, Science, and Media bios will all be in the same format.

Anyone with authorship permissions on the network site certainly could do that; We've got some long-term plans to improve that page creation process to be a bit more seamless based on Pulse profiles but we're not there yet. If someone were to take the time to build out a page like you describe, it likely wouldn't be work that's easily re-purposable into the new style once we're ready for it, so I'd hesitate to recommend someone spend the time to do that unless they think it's really worth it.

[hannahkane]

Quick update: @community-impact, @jessevondoom and I are meeting on Wednesday to hash out plans for the Fellowships' presence on the Network site moving forward.

[hannahkane]

I think we can close this, given plans/tickets for a robust Q4 pan-Fellowships presence on the site.

Unless...is there an urgent interim need we need to fill?

[alanmoo]

It can always be reopened if there is.
