The countries have been ordered roughly in the order that advocates have 
added their profiles.
And you will note that we have started grouping countries by regions.
I'm open to discuss how to reorder the page on the marketing email list 
if you wish.

Yes, indeed. It will be a very valuable marketing tool for OSGeo to be 
able to point people at this advocate list and say "This is the team 
that you get when you make use of OSGeo Software".  I think we only have 
about 1/4 of the people who I'd like to see on the list.
Hoping to see lots of people put in a half hour to get their profile 
updated and listed.
