The text looks good to me. Minor suggestion: put in the date when the FreiData instance launched or was officially made available.

The text looks good to me. Minor suggestion: put in the date when the FreiData instance launched or was officially made available.

The release date was 27th of October, 2023.

We expected a slow progress of contributions for the first month. Currently I have several interested people who want to use the APIs.

I am looking into the source text, where to add that detail.

Hi Sara, hi Martin,

I do not have the access rights, and a change of the text requires a fork, which is a bit cumbersome for the slight change. So my suggestion to Martins request:

When InvenioRDM launched on 27th of October at the University of Freiburg under the label FreiData,

What do you think?

Jan, I like the suggested Text and can put it in the document for you. Best, Martin Am 6. Dez. 2024, 09:52 +0100 schrieb Jan Leendertse ***@***.***>:

Jan, I like the suggested Text and can put it in the document for you.

I see that I forgot the year. It should be:

When InvenioRDM launched on 27th of October 2023 at the University of Freiburg under the label FreiData,

Sorry for the extra loop.

LGTM (I was at a workshop all day, so thanks Sara for adding the date).

OMG. I will let check this. Thanks for hinting.

[JanLeendertse]

Is fixed.

Thanks Jan! The blog is live.

Thanks Jan! The blog is live.

Thanks for releasing, and for the opportunity to contribute. And for your patience.

Thanks Jan. One minor issue: the cropping of the feature image leads to a blue image. Is that ok, or should I crop the image differently (removing some of the sky on top)?

[saragon02]

Good point, Martin. The preview or thumbnail of the blog's first image is always a little funnily cropped like this. Perhaps there is a larger solution that could be applied to the website?

[mfenner]

In my experience (in other blog platforms) the main issue with cropping is different proportions of images. Another issue is that the image is too big (5400 x 3600 px) making loading slow. I also see that several of the latest posts have same issue (lots of blue). Happy to tinker with the image but hope that @JanLeendertse doesn't mind.

[ntarocco]

Adding this to the style.css, it is a bit better (not perfect):

.blog-list-item-content img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  object-fit: cover;
  object-position: center center;
}

[mfenner]

This looks much better. I also cropped the image to remove some of the blue sky at the top and use a more reasonable resolution (1200 x 620 px). Now trying to bring all this together.
