[OSGeo-Discuss] Gender neutral default image on webpage

[Ian Turton]

It seems that the "members" page (https://www.osgeo.org/community/members/)
is picking it's picture up from the other pictures section not gravatar
which is what the actual member page (
https://www.osgeo.org/member/ian-turton/) uses. This is probably why so
many people have no picture on the members page.

Ian
PS I notice the page title is still in Dutch (?) and my local chapters have
gone missing again.
