BigBlueButton Adopter's Map

This is the repository for the map of BigBlueButton adopters. The map shows the locations of participating BigBlueButton installations.

Get Your Installation on the Map!

If you have a BigBlueButton installation and would like it to appear on the map, just create a pull request where you add your data to the file adopters.geojson. To do so, add this object with your data as a new line features-list in said file:

{"type": "Feature", "properties": {"institution": "YOUR_INSTITUTION"}, "geometry": {"type": "Point", "coordinates": [0.0, 0.0]}}

Replace YOUR_INSTITUION and [0.0, 0.0] with your lon and lat coordinates, respectively, and your good to go. Note: To avoid merge conflicts with other branches, it is recommended to not just append your entry to the end of the list but to insert it as a single line somewhere in the middle (followed by a comma).

How to get your Coordinates

You can use the tool nominatim to look up an address and get its coordinates. Alternatively, you can right click on a location in google maps and you will be shown the coordinates in the menu. Note that in both of these ways, you will have to invert the order of the coordinates (which you will get in lat/lon) for this map (where it is lon/lat).

Idea & Origin

The idea for this map came up in the regular meeting of german speaking BigBlueButton adopters. The inspiration and the leaflet.js code comes from the Opencast project and its similar map.opencast.org.
