  • punkish

Discussion: IRC logs

Summary:

  • General agreement around the concept, and management, and that the Marketing Committee would be responsible for updating the list every year.
  • Concern was raised around using the term "Ambassador" as the term implies someone who is a selected representative, rather than a self appointed volunteer.
  • Debated alternative terms:
    • "Speakers Bureau" - limiting the role to speaking and not very prestigious
    • "Authoritative OSGeo Personalities" - a bit long and informal
    • "OSGeo Advocate" - this was the final term decided upon
