Comment (by jive):

 Notes:
 - The OSGeo Community logo is for projects not people; use the OSGeo Logo
 only
 - Explain what OSGeo User id is for linking to
 https://www.osgeo.org/community/getting-started-osgeo/osgeo_userid/
 - Provide the "Enter mantra" form at the top of the page
 - Make a separate heading to "request a mantra", with clear instructions
 to send an email.
 - Make an "example email heading" that shows some content by default, and
 only then provide a drop down of example emails (this makes it clear why
 multiple selection is not needed)
 - Default to "Join Open Source Geospatial Foundation, to allow login to
 website and wiki"

 Technical question:

 - Can we ask for their email address and send an email on their behalf
 like a normal *contact us form*? Yes it would result in spam but this is a
 small price to pay for usability improvement.
