Create JUGs Map

[cesarhernandezgt]

The metadata for the map can be coming from the proposed structure defined in #5

Hi @icougil ,

With the information you shared, I was seeing https://ayastreb.me/jekyll-maps/ for adding JUGs map waiting for github pages.

I managed to install and run a local Hello World:

But the map rendering complains because it seems the Google Maps API needs a billing account from the g account used :/. I wonder if there is a way to have a Goole Maps API for Open Source project?

Then the other option https://leafletjs.com/examples/quick-start/ seems also to make reference to mapbox https://www.mapbox.com/pricing/, this offers up to 50,000 calls in the free tier. I didn't try this one yet.

Any ideas, suggestion,s or questions are more than welcome since at this point both solutions involve billing accounts.

That's the main reason I was suggesting using Leaflet, because it is provider agnostic (ie does not depend on any specific provider), we could use whatever you may like including OpenStreetMap.

I will try to create a new personal repo to have a POC and share it with you to see how it could finally be a first model to render the map worldwide and at the same time visualize in alphabetical order (and/or by country?) all the JUGs. Ah! and at the same time easy to add for all those who wish to do so 😉

Here we have a first approach: https://github.com/icougil/JUGs_POC

Thanks for the pointer @icougil !
I created a first PR in our sandbox repository: icougil/JUGs_POC#1

The data can be pulled from geojson collecations: https://github.com/icougil/JUGs_POC/pull/1/files#diff-cb62d501ca761c9ca457f5be41a9cc950a403acc5189daea0ee458330e9196a6R1
