<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></blockquote><div><br></div><div><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"><br></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"><br></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"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Order could be rearranged as needed.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br>Regards</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Tim</div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">

<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>
