[Marketing] Please add your OSGeo Advocate profile, and provide feedback

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Hi all,
I've carefully looked at what Arnulf did, thought it made sense and improved it a little bit to avoid the need to write things twice. 

Basically he has (and I also had) two end points for his profile. What we can do is to have one limited profile and one full one including the map etc... That allows to have a small profile on the Advocates list and a longer one when the user clicks on the name of that person (see Arnulf's or mine).

I now:
- use the User:Ticheler page for the short description following the template
- Add a More background section and location in the Jeroen_Ticheler page. That page basically looks like this:

<!-- start here -->

{{User:Ticheler}}
