My job is in part to help OSGeo to be a functional community. Part of community is knowing who everyone is. One way I have accomplished this in other communities is to have an interview-style spotlight profile of members. I post these to the site and to a blog that is picked up by various feeds. <O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">It is very important that you complete this as soon as possible. We are working very hard to publicize MapGuide and this will create a steady stream of information and links back to the site. If there is someone you know associated with OSGeo and MapGuide that may not be in this list, feel free to forward this email along. </DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">The profiles help put a face on community and the project, but also aid searching for related information. The Google score goes up on projects you participate in, attracting users and developers. I’m sure there are other reasons you might think about participating, but these are the big ones. <O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">I am not picky about how you do the spotlight interview. I have the preferred interview below, but you can also write up a biography with similar information. I only ask that you use full URL’s and not use any formatting other than paragraphs and bullet lists. If you have images and especially a picture of yourself, I am happy to include them.<O:P></O:P></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">Feel free to add new questions and answers. If you want, be a little long
winded in your answers – more is better. I will be editing these so don't worry too much about your English skills. Remember, please include a picture of yourself so people can recognize you (not required, but it helps).
