For those not sure of what such a 'FOSS4G advisor' role is, luckily I
had created such a wiki page outlining this exact role:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Advisor_Role

We can all see how essential this role is now.  It can be just attending
irc or listening in on weekly conference calls; but there is always
something that comes up in each LOC, such as "I don't think t-shirts are
important so let's not give them to attendees" or "why do we need this
darn ribbon in the logo".....everyone would be shocked at how often I
had to argue these little points each year; "little" to the LOC, not
little to the passionate attendees.

Thanks for listening.

yours,

-jeff
