[Live-demo] Is your OSGeo-Advocate profile still included?

[Cameron Shorter]

I recently discovered my OSGeo-Advocate profile had been removed from 
the Advocate list [1], because I hadn't included [[Category:OSGeo 
Advocate]] in my profile.

You might want to confirm you haven't been accidentally dropped.

Christian, who set up the templating system, explains the logic behind 
this below. (shared with his permission)
