Until today i am no member of OSGeo. So is there a way to get a member of OSGeo?

The strategy will be to define the data model and the templates while in parallel requiring formal endorsement from OSGeo. A project like this can only succeed if backed by the foundation. Please send me your GitHub handles. I would also ask you to link to your OSGeo member page in your bio (Wiki user page).

I want to join the new github group, too.
