Using Git and GitHub for Open Ocean Science

Ocean Sciences Meeting 2022

Organizers

Task 1

Add your information to the people.json file to make your name, organization, and GitHub id appear in the Participants section of the website.

A JSON file uses braces, quotations, and commas to separate out the information. Copy an existing person's information as a template for your own.

Task 2

Add your organization and favourite ocean feature to the places.geojson file. This will make a marker appear on the map with the location, type, and description information in a pop up. If the type is "Organization", the marker will get a different symbol color.

A GeoJSON file is a type of JSON file that is used for encoding a variety of geographic data. Please note that is GeoJSON the coordinates are given by [ longitude, latitude ].

The website https://geojson.org has a very useful editor that can be used to find the coordinates of any feature by using the tools provided. Copy and paste the entire places.geojson into this editor and then copy it back to GitHub to commit your changes.
