[Marketing] Marketing Digest, Vol 56, Issue 4

[Cameron Shorter]

Jeroen, Venkatesh,
If you wish to see a different title, then please suggest one, otherwise 
please don't block the motion unless you feel strongly that we should 
remove the role altogether. So far, I haven't heard anyone suggest a 
better title.
This is what has been debated so far:

  * "OSGeo Ambassador" - Implies someone who is a selected by the board,
    rather the reality of a self appointed volunteer; concern this might
    have legal ramifications for OSGeo.
  * "OSGeo Speakers Bureau" - limiting the role to speaking and not very
    prestigious
  * "Authoritative OSGeo Personalities" - a bit long and informal
  * "OSGeo Advocate" - this was the final term decided upon
