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 terms:
  • "OSGeo Ambassador" - Implies someone who is a selected by the board, rather the reality of a self appointed volunteer; concern this might have legal ramifications for OSGeo.
  • "OSGeo 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
