[DRAFT] OSGeo Volunteer Letter of Recommendation [DRAFT]
Scope
This wiki page summarizes content for an OSGeo letter of reference for volunteer work wihtin OSGeo.
Motivation
- Letters of recommendation (LoR) can be useful for OSgeo volunteers as a means to prove their OSGeo-related activities to third parties, e.g. when sending in a resume for a new position.
- LoR should be available both to active volunteers and persons retiring from OSGeo.
Workflow and data sources
- LoR should be easy to create, ideally in an (semi-)automated workflow.
- Content for a specific LoR can be harvested from the volunteers personal OSGeo wiki page (if existing):
- Name
- Address / city / state / country
- Local Chapter
- OSGeo experience and roles
- Note: This might be an opportunity to improve the metadata concept of the personal wiki pages: The wiki pages seem to have currently no metadata-tags for the committes and projects (community projects / projects-undergoing-incubation / graduated projects). Also, there is no metadata on when a person was elected as a charter member and when that person retired.
- For each of the badges displayed under "OSGeo experience and roles" we could set up short general description as templates.
- There should be a general template for the LoR (general outline / structure of the letter)
- tbd
Request process for a LoR
- To prevent abuse (e.g. preposterous claims in a LoR, discrediting the OSGeo communit as a whole), some kind of human checking / editing will be required.
- LoR could be edited by a OSGeo committee, to prevent flooding the Board with such requests.
- tbd
