Thanks Cameron for this initiative. It is looking good with around 40 already added. Currently there are only few OSGeo advocates from Africa, Asia, South America regions which need to be increased for more impact globally for this initiative.
We should aim to reach 100 or more OSGeo Advocates before July end, so please add you details if you think you can contribute for this. Many thanks. Suchith -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cameron Shorter Sent: 21 June 2012 12:46 To: OSGeo Discussions Cc: OSGeo Marketing Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Calling for "OSGeo Advocate" profiles Are you passionate about OSGeo? Do you know a lot about aspects of Geospatial Open Source, and are prepared to stand up in public and talk about it? Then please consider adding your name to "OSGeo Advocate" list [1]. Background: With my role on the marketing committee, increased number of foss4g related conferences, and with the success of the OSGeo-Live DVD, I'm now regularly being asked to recommend speakers who can talk about OSGeo related topics. Arnulf, as chair of OSGeo, similarly reports being invited to present at more conferences than he can sustain. So the OSGeo Marketing committee has created a space to show off the breadth of experience amongst our OSGeo community, which at the same time will allow conference organisors find local OSGeo experts. Is this something you can help with? If so, please register [2] within the next month, before the end of July 2012, when we intend to officially launch.
