<p>Hi,</p>
<p><span>"QGIS Community Member of the Month" sounds good to me.</span></p>
<p><span>I agree with your proposed questions but would add:</span></p>
<p><span>- Regarding 1) - we already have a map of QGIS devs or conference participants - maybe we can re-use that?</span></p>
<p><span>- if an item is not of importance to that community member it just could be skipped</span></p>
<p><span>- optionally we could add a map/screenshot of a QGIS project/application/plugin</span></p>
<p><span>- allow the QCMM (QGIS Community Member of the Month) to add an additional item if (s)he wants to - maybe 8) allows that already ...</span></p>
<p>Thanks for your ideas,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>The QGIS heroes idea is fine with me - as long as it doesn't result in big discussions who gets how much appreciation and that one should not favor one over the other ...</p>
<p>If we could find a less "heroic" name for that it would be even better. Hero sounds a bit too epic to me. Champion may be another term, but it sounds equally heroic ...</p>
<p>Maybe a native english speaker could propose a few less heroic terms that may be suitable.</p>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">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".</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Here is a brain dump of some standard questions we could ask:</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">1) Can you share a map of where you live?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">2) What do you do in the QGIS community?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">3) How do you use QGIS, which are the most important features for you?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">4) How much volunteer time do you spend on QGIS each month?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">5) What areas do you most need help with in respect to the work you do with QGIS?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">6) How long have you been involved on the QGIS project?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">7) If there was one thing you could add or improve in QGIS or the QGIS community, what would it be?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">8) Do you have any other final thoughts about your life as a QGIS community member?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">9) How can people contact you / follow you on social media?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Order could be rearranged as needed.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Yeah its a really good idea. I think we could just make a standard set of questions and ask a different person each month to participate. If we do it that way it does not need to be too much overhead to actually keep doing.</div>
