Adding the design files on Maira's behalf while she works on getting access to GitHub. |

@oliviergoulet5 can we have the first iteration of this in early January? I'm curious if anyone has requested/reserved a new domain name, something like openhwfoundation.org? @chrisguindon @eclipsewebmaster |
As far as I know, I didn't hear anything related to that. @eclipsewebmaster? |
I haven't heard anything about it either. |
Considering that we also have other commitments in January, I find "early January" too tight of a window. I suggest January 30th with the homepage implementation as a first iteration. However, I'll do my best to finish it earlier if possible. Would that work for you @shanda-eclipse? |
|
@chrisguindon @eclipsewebmaster thanks for confirming. I will likely open an infra next week to request a domain. @oliviergoulet5 based on what I know Mike and Paul would like this to be a priority in January, but I know we have lots going on, so just do your best. |
Please don't hesitate to point them to me if they have any concerns with what @oliviergoulet5 is proposing. |

When we launch this redesigned site, we would also like to update the domain name: https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/infrazilla/-/issues/1764 |
|
@shanda-eclipse I noticed we intend to display a featured story before the first content section. Do we want to display it in the jumbotron, similar to eclipse.org's homepage?
|
|
Adding the featured story there would be great, but we will also need the two content sections after the jumbotron. |
|
During our internal launch call this morning, Executive raised the matter that this content needs to get published sooner rather than later as the outdated information is impacting clear communication and alignment for the membership process. @chrisguindon Can we please see if we can adjust priority on this one. Thanks, |
Yep! @oliviergoulet5 has been prioritizing this task. I also spent some time this morning reviewing the remaining work to finalize an MVP as soon as possible. |

Hi everyone! Here is a preview of the redesign: https://preview-730--openhwgroup-org.eclipsecontent.org/ I have a few questions and/or requests:
Also, for the featured story, it still mentions OpenHW Group. As we launch the redesigned site, this must be updated via the newsroom. @shanda-eclipse |
The sidebar is no longer needed.
+1 I will make that change |
|
Re: Also, for the featured story, it still mentions OpenHW Group. As we launch the redesigned site, this must be updated via the newsroom. +1 I will make that change Will that take care of the bottom of About Us which states "What's happening at OpenHW Group? |
|
@SharonCorbett Yes that's correct |
|
I've captured a few other things in by way of comment/suggestions in https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CsrgA_wr4LADbndPRudlcbpVVEhQJUm-LnrQGeti7rk/edit?tab=t.0 |
@shanda-eclipse I can make this change. However, when you click "View More", we have many more testimonials that need to be updated... unless we only want to display the three? |
|
I have updated the preview with all the changes requested @shanda-eclipse @SharonCorbett Meta Description

But I'm sure you'll want to reword it. Orphan Pages I'll list all the orphan pages that are no longer linked (but still indexed by search engines) at a later time. Then, we can discuss what URLs need redirects and start removing those older pages. We can probably do this after launch if we're pressed for time. |
Let's just edit the 3 that are visible for now, as to not delay the launch. I will work on editing the rest later |
|
@croundy @Floadv298 would you like to review staging before we push this live? I know there is some urgency around the launch, so we will continue to refine and expand the website once it's live. |
|
A few things I noticed while reviewing on my phone:
|
|
@croundy These should now be fixed, except for the Read News. That bad URL is coming from the Newsroom. Can you take a look @shanda-eclipse? |
|
@shanda-eclipse We got the following feedback during code review:
Are we going to keep the base colours for the menus? |
I'm getting an error saying newsroom is not available, so I can't double check. But the issue is likely that we are pointing to the new URL that isn't live yet, rather then the path for news on the old site. |
@meKokabi can you make a recommendation? |
|
We really really need to get this published. Is there anything that is too horrible to not push that we can't adjust later? |
|
@SharonCorbett I can't speak for the content, but we should be good to go from a technical perspective. However, considering this significant change to the website, I recommend going live on Monday unless necessary. But if we do push live today with the redesign, we would definitely not want to change the domain until Monday since that involves more risk and would require multiple other teams to be involved. |
|
+1 for pushing live today or Monday |

@fredg02 @eclipsewebmaster FYI, we may need your assistance with this. I'll reach out when we try to change the primary domain from openhwgroup.org to openhwfoundation.org on Monday. |
|
Yes, totally agree to not changing domains until Monday. But if we can publish this today would be awesome! |
|
@SharonCorbett Have a great weekend to you as well! To give an update: The redesign is now live on the old www.openhwgroup.org domain. I noticed Cloudflare is hiding the email from the "Get Involved" page as a way to protect the email from bots. I have never encountered this before, and it will unlikely be fixed today. Older pages like https://www.openhwgroup.org/working-groups/ can still be accessed by search engine results. I will look into implementing redirects and removing pages next week. |
|
Thanks to everyone for getting this new site up and running - it's appreciated. Can I suggest 2 immediate (not a fire, but would be very helpful) updates:
BTW, not meaning to pile on but the filters on that page are old and should be updated to list only the top 5-6, and with an "Other" listed to capture the rest. We do not need openMDM, Science, etc. listed. |
|
Here is a preview of the changes: https://preview-734--openhwgroup-org.eclipsecontent.org/
I placed the text in an alert. See members page
I could link events.eclipse.org (now eclipse.org/events), but the user must manually apply the OpenHW filter once they arrive on the site. I can look into making the URLs for eclipse.org/events shareable with the filter state (e.g. We also have the events page on openhwgroup.org. Until we get the stateful URLs, would you rather we link https://www.eclipse.org/events or the event page? |
|
Membership page looks good - thanks for the quick turnaround. To your last question, either is fine with me - I'll defer to you or @shanda-eclipse if one is easier or better. But if we leave it as the old OpenHW Event page, can we please add Embedded World to it. |
|
I think leaving it as the OpenHW events page is fine. I will update the event in the newsroom so it is tagged for OpenHW. |

Note: there is a lot of additional content still under discussion in a separate document but we would like to get this site started while we work out the details.
