[OSGeo-Discuss] [Marketing] Marketing meeting to finalise definition of an OSGeo Ambassador role

[Suchith Anand]

Hi Dan,

If you could kindly  send the unused LiveDVDs for OSGeo UK Chapter that will be greatly appreciated. We need them for promoting at various events in the UK. You can post to Jo Cook or myself . We will pay for the postage costs.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Would someone be able/willing to give such a talk at the MapWindow/Open Source GIS conference in Velp, The Netherlands next month? See  http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2012/

We have a box of live DVD's to give out. Actually we have about 800 Live DVD's but will probably only give out 100 or so at the conference. So if someone wants some already burned DVD's let me know.

My thoughts- initially I thought the idea was too complicated, but if we envisage outside organisations/conferences coming to us for speakers, then we will need something like you suggest. I wonder, in all honesty, how much that is going to happen, but at least we will have somewhere to point them to.

Jo,
In 2012, there have been 22 events that I'm aware of that have/are planning to made use of the OSGeo-Live DVD (or the presentation): http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History

At most/all of these events there an OSGeo presentation, usually based upon our OSGeo-Live presentation, and I've usually been involved in finding someone to give these presentations.

I suspect that Arnulf and others could testify to similar numbers of approaches.

So, from personal experience, I would find it very useful to have a list of ambassadors to point conference organisors at.
