title: "Create a New Members Profile Page"

---

Member profile pages are used to introduce members of the LMU Open Science Center and provide information about their research interests, expertise, and contact details.

# Individual Members

You can view all individual member profiles here:

- [OSC Members Page](https://www.osc.lmu.de/people/members.html)

**How Will You Know When to Add a New Member?**

Malika will typically send you an email containing all the information required to create the member profile.

If any information is missing, notify Malika. She will either obtain the missing information from the new member or provide further instructions.

# Creating a New Individual Member Profile

## Step 1: Create a GitHub Issue

Using the [GitHub workflow](../github/working-practices.qmd), create an **issue** in the `lmu-osc.github.io` repository (unless Malika has already created one).

Use the following naming convention:

> `Add New Member: <firstname lastname>`

Create a new branch from this issue.

## Step 2: Switch to the New Branch

In your local copy of the repository, switch to the newly created branch.

## Step 3: Locate the Member Template

Navigate to:

```text
people → people → templates
```

## Step 4: Create a New Member File

Create a copy of the `_people_template.qmd` file.

Complete the template using the information provided by the new member.

## Step 5: Rename the File

Rename the newly created `.qmd` file using the following format:

```text
firstname-lastname.qmd
```

For example:

```text
malika-ihle.qmd
```

# Adding the Member's Profile Picture

Each member profile should include a profile picture. Use either:

- the picture provided by the member during their application; or
- a **publicly available** picture (e.g., the profile picture from the official LMU website).

## Adding the Image

1. Navigate to:

```text
people → people → images
```

2. Add the image to this folder.

3. Rename the image file using the following format:

```text
lastname-firstname
```

For example:

```text
ihle-malika.jpg
```

## Adding the Profile Picture to the Template

The `_people_template.qmd` file contains a designated field where the path to the profile picture should be specified.

Make sure that the filename and path exactly match the image stored in the `images` folder.
