[Qgis-psc] QGIS heroes

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi, 

"QGIS Community Member of the Month" sounds good to me. 

I agree with your proposed questions but would add: 

- Regarding 1) - we already have a map of QGIS devs or conference
participants - maybe we can re-use that? 

- if an item is not of importance to that community member it just could
be skipped 

- optionally we could add a map/screenshot of a QGIS
project/application/plugin 

- allow the QCMM (QGIS Community Member of the Month) to add an
additional item if (s)he wants to - maybe 8) allows that already ... 

Thanks for your ideas, 

Andreas
