OSGeo Mashup
Thoughts on how to set up a membership activity and user location OSGeo mashup.
- a script subscribes to the OSGeo Wiki "Recent Changes" RSS
- extract editor's Wiki user name and client IP from RSS feed
- look up that IP's latitude and longitude
- MediaWiki user name page includes a template with formatted home location in latitude and longitude (KML, GeoRSS, GML, any)
- bot writes back location and User Name to PostgreSQL PostGIS database
- MapServer connects to that PostGIS FeatureTable and display map with point and text as OGC WMS
- GeoServer connects to that same PostGIS FeatureTable and returns GML via OGC WFS-T interface
- Mapbender deploys OpenLayers to overlay OSM map with OSGeo Member map
- and so on

OSGeo Membership reminder
Body
Hello, we are cleaning up the OSGeo All Members page at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/All_Members as it has grown too large. Please consider moving the data you have added there to your user page. If you add the [[Category:OSGeo Member]] to your user page then you will be listed as an OSGeo member. Read the details here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:OSGeo_Member
Proposal for a map of OSGeo software users
Taking the Category:OSGeo Member map as a basis, I suggest to:
- build up a map with all current users (from OSGeo LDAP, plus possibly other sources, if projects keep their own)
- make an option "Show only {GRASS|QGIS|Mapserver|etc.} users"
- put it on the main page
