​Yeah I think we can just call it something like "QGIS Community Profile:
Joe Bloggs" or if we want it to be a little more adulatory than that then
something like "QGIS Community Member of the Month".

Here is a brain dump of some standard questions we could ask:

1) Can you share a map of where you live?
2) What do you do in the QGIS community?
3) How do you use QGIS, which are the most important features for you?
4) How much volunteer time do you spend on QGIS each month?
5) What areas do you most need help with in respect to the work you do with
QGIS?
6) How long have you been involved on the QGIS project?
7) If there was one thing you could add or improve in QGIS or the QGIS
community, what would it be?
8) Do you have any other final thoughts about your life as a QGIS community
member?
9) How can people contact you / follow you on social media?


Order could be rearranged as needed.

Regards


Tim​
