# BigBlueButton Adopter's Map
This is the repository for the [map](http://bbbmap.uos.de) of [BigBlueButton](https://bigbluebutton.org/) 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](https://github.com/elan-ev/bigbluebutton-map/pulls) where you add your data to the file [adopters.geojson](adopters.geojson).
To do so, add this object with your data as a new line `features`-list in said file:
```json
{"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 and your good to go.
__⚠ Important:__
- Make sure the order is correct. Longitude first, then latitude.
- To avoid merge conflicts, insert yout institution as a single line somewhere in the middle (followed by a comma).
### How to get your Coordinates
You can use the tool [nominatim](https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org) 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](https://hackmd.io/@lkiesow/bigbluebutton-adopters-meeting) of german speaking BigBlueButton adopters.
The inspiration and the [leaflet.js](https://leafletjs.com/) code comes from the [Opencast](https://opencast.org/) project and its similar [map.opencast.org](https://map.opencast.org/).
