Thanks, I see the Fathom notes, weird that the summary was different when I got access - I will check for the style guide and share it when I share a request for next steps on dev - who have you got earmarked for the content for infographics / icons - is this with you or do I need to try and pull someone in? I will also follow up on Carmens findings so will probably reach out tomorrow vs today 
Ian P.
These are the tasks for BBIC: 
  • Writing up some notes to inform which icons we need, and what should go into infographics.
  • Sharing the GEMS style guide with them
  • Scheduling a website meeting to discuss next steps with them
  • Carmen needs to share her findings on what we can/can’t do with their logo

I requested access to the meeting notes to see about this - I dont have anything noted except setting up a dev chat which is on my list for today - I can go listen to the call when I get access but it looks like we had a number of commitments here - Please let me know which of the below is on our list already / i know Fathom does not always get the summary right so let me know / give me access

  • Unfold and Matogen will work to get clarity on logo usage guidelines and limitations from the University of Minnesota by next Tuesday
  • Matogen will draft initial content and messaging for the infographics and icons
  • The group will reconvene next week to review progress and determine next steps for the design work

Thanks Robyn! Speaking of time I am running a little late. I see there is a bit of traffic. rushing to leave I will see you all soon
Robyn
great job
David Mundell David
 thank you for all the effort in getting the work done on time! \
David M.
Hey
Robyn Robyn
, BBIC is now live and it is looking good 💪🏼🙏🏼
Robyn
ah boo, I just sent off an email - looks like some of the updates they did have not worked out so they are doing a hot fix today - I am guessing its too much for everyone to test so regularly so things are being missed - anyhow, thanks for trying - this is obviously not something we control - thanks so much for trying though Dave! 
David M.
Morning Robyn, Unfortunately they never replied to my ticket. I checked a few times last night. They did reply to a different ticket but no feedback to this one. I can start looking into the feedback 🙏🏼
Robyn
Thanks so much
David Mundell David
! some final feedback incoming - not sure if we live yet but here we go on feedback: Thanks, Robyn!

For the news section, I had placed the stories in descending order with the more recent being on the top. Could we please show the more recent news on the front page and in the news tab? What I am seeing is the seed grant information and the UK delegation which are the older news posts. 

Also, can we center the banner on the homepage so that the image appears centered vertically?

Best,
Carmen
David M.
Thanks
Ian Parsons Ian
. I am happy with this as well💪🏼I logged a ticket earlier with the Drupal Team but hopefully they take it up tonight !
Ian P.
Great effort
David Mundell David
! It's looking really good. Well done on making this happen in 2 weeks! 
Robyn
Great job Dave, thanks for the amazing effort! 
Robyn

 has built us a phase 1 site that we can roll-out - if they want other posts etc we can add that onto production ! :)
Robyn
Lekker, please keep me posted, thanks Dave!
David M.
So hopeful not long and then I can change the banner then I think we will be good
David M.
Yes I need to remove the DSI references. And I cant see why the articles are not pulling through. I have now copied the Database and starting to have a look on my local as I will have a better idea on my local environment 
Robyn
Spotted the news feed on the home page - 🙌
Robyn
David Mundell David
 how is this work coming along? 
David M.
Its updated now
David M.
Yes there is I can change that now
Ian P.
David Mundell David
 is there an option to remove the text and transparent layer on that slide? 
Robyn
Excellent Dave, well done, just the news left now! Whoop whoop
David M.
On my big screen it is a little pixilated but not too bad on a smaller sized screen: https://bbic.dev.umn.edu/
Robyn
Look at you go! Thanks Dave!
David M.
without being pixilated 
David M.
it might work 
David M.
its okay
David M.
David M.
I am going to try and change the format. You can add it to google keeps and then in google keeps open it up. Then you can right click and save 
Robyn
pixelated as hell ?
Robyn
was just saying dont stress too much, I can push it back but great 
Robyn
Ah yes 
David M.
I got it to work
David M.
Okay great. I am trying to get this image out of the google doc but having an issue with google keep. I am going to try another way
Robyn
Robyn
Thanks so much,
David Mundell David
I have loaded all the content edits so its this issue, the banner replacement and news - they have given us posts to use - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W6URXZhwLH5ZcIMeYbN_abJuP2MxZZfTc9MGdnTSxsY/edit?tab=t.0 I am happy to help load them when you are ready 
David M.
Something to do with the breadcrumbs
David M.
okay I will take a look at that
Robyn

David Mundell David
 I am on the BBIC site and spotted this error 
David M.
I must also mention I fixed the issue with the images not displaying on the additional text areas (colour blocks). It also needs to be carried over to DSI as well. DSI has the same issue we didn't notice because we didn't use images in those blocks. This is what took most of the time. once that was fixed everything else work as it should
David M.
Okay fantastic! I am going to take a break now, I am getting a bit tired.  I will run to the gym quickly 💪🏼
Robyn
🙌 just keep doing what you are doing - I am going to share with the client in the meantime and get some more feedback on the news stuff but pushing hard for what we have on dsi 
David M.
I can possibly reuse the funding blocks 
David M.
Its just the home page I dont have those same colour blocks
David M.
Okay great I was just going to ask you if its looking right
Robyn
Robyn
I am suggesting we go with the blocks the way they are on DSI and colours can come later. I have also asked Dave to check and see if the blocks are an issue so we can flag that it is going to delay things (if needed) 
Robyn
Ian Parsons Ian
 working through the feedback, these guys are asking for blue blocks and design elements throughout the site - I don't think they understood what they were getting - we obviously have a concept of blocks with DSI but no understanding of branding and colours but see that the request Dave noticed, blue blocks is requested all the way through
David M.
That's good to hear 💪🏼 No problem I will start setting that up on Monday  💪🏼Happy to hear it went well
Robyn
David Mundell David
good meeting had, client is happy for the most part - we do need to get news and events in & Contact us but we can chat about how that works on Monday - great job pulling it together, thanks for the images and support
Ian Parsons Ian
  
David M.
Okay great sounds good! 
Ian P. David I've found another way to copy configurations to a new site. Will show you tomorrow
Robyn
David M.
okay great
Robyn
Hi
David Mundell David
 I have another meeting at 12 but lets have a quick chat to hear what you suggest - thanks 
David M.
Hey
Robyn Robyn
, nothing is showing up here. Could we have a call when you have a moment to plan how we should start this one just to align our thoughts and expectations on the way forward
David M.
about 20 min. 10min to deploy and another 10 if I get some sort of result 
Robyn
as in how long does deployment usually take
Robyn
Hey
David Mundell David
 thanks, what is the new timing for your decision? 
David M.
Hey
Robyn Robyn
, I am trying one last thing. Waiting for the deployment. I will update here once I have an answer  
David M.
Okay great I will update here if I get another break through
Ian P.
Ok great, thanks David! Looks like a rough outing! If you can get it up and running for us to load content tomorrow, we'll be in a good space. 
David M.
What I am currently doing is going through each configuration I excluded and seeing which ones I can try and add again. 
David M.
David M.
Hey
Ian Parsons Ian
, An update about the syncing. I managed to finally get it to run. The site isnt working as expected but these might be manageable fixes. I am going through each one at a time. 
David M.
I also managed to make the uuid exactly the same as dsi on my local 
David M.
Hey
Ian Parsons Ian
 I step a way for a few moments now to make something to eat. I managed to fix a few conflicts. However I am still stuck with uploading of the configuration file. I am now going to try and edit the zip folder again. It didn't work last time but I want to try and remove just one extension and see what happens 
Ian P.
David Mundell David
 how are things going with setup?
Robyn
Thank you
Ian P.
Ok got it
Robyn
Robyn
We can start with a static page, I didnt get into a full conversation about this but they basically want to be able to share their funding news this way and some of the posts on here https://bti.umn.edu/ so they can get this feed they refer to on their planning doc 
Ian P.
Robyn Robyn
 do they want to have a News/Events section like we have on DSI or MSI here, or is this going to be a static page? 
Robyn
David Mundell David
 thanks so much - if you are happy to do this tomorrow too, X, I will schedule time for 2pm 
David M.
Perhaps sometime tomorrow? 
Robyn
