Jeroen, Venkatesh,<br>
If you wish to see a different title, then please suggest one,
otherwise please don't block the motion unless you feel strongly
that we should remove the role altogether. So far, I haven't heard
anyone suggest a better title.<br>
This is what has been debated so far:
<ul>
<li> "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.
</li>
<li> "OSGeo Speakers Bureau" - limiting the role to speaking and
not very prestigious
</li>
<li> "Authoritative OSGeo Personalities" - a bit long and informal
</li>
<li> "OSGeo Advocate" - this was the final term decided upon
</li>
</ul>

I've read the logs and am not convinced this change makes sense.
As Danniel noted the term advocate doesn't really provide the
prestige we're looking for, we are all advocates.
<br>
My impression of the discussion on IRC is that the email
exchanges have been largely ignored and have not been part of
the meeting discussion. I think it needs more thought before we
decide on the name.

Cheers,
