To do so, you will need to:<br /> * Create an OSGeo wiki account, to edit this wiki (See &quot;login&quot; link in top right of this page).<br /> * Add a portrait photo of yourself using the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Upload Upload file] link in left margin in each page.<br /> * Create a new wiki page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:YourOSGeoWikiUserName, and populate as per [[User:Template]], (copy and paste from the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=User:Template&amp;action=edit source] so that you see comments in the template).<br /> * You can then add your profile on [[OSGeo_Advocate#OSGeo_Advocates|this wiki page]], under your Region:Country, names ordered alphabetically by First name, using the following:<br /> {{User:&lt;YourOSGeoWikiUserName&gt;}}<br /> <br /> = Annual Refresh of Advocate list =<br /> * The list of OSGeo Advocates will be refreshed annually, after the annual voting of OSGeo Charter Members. This will be achieved by removing lapsed Advocates, then moving all Current Advocates into the Past Advocate section. All Advocates will be invited to update their profile, and move their profile back into the current Advocates section.<br /> <br /> = Expenses =<br /> <br /> This OSGeo Advocate list has been designed to help event organisors find local authoritative speakers. Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses. Note also that unlike proprietary companies, a company promoting Open Source software don't earn license fees when a delegate is convinced to start using the free software.<br /> <br /> When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:<br /> * Travel, typically including:<br /> ** airfare<br /> ** visa<br /> ** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)<br /> ** meals during travel<br /> ** transit costs to local and host airports<br /> * Accommodation<br /> ** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event<br /> ** high speed internet<br /> * Per diem costs<br /> ** 3 meals a day<br /> * Speakers fee<br /> ** typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)<br /> <br /> For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]<br /> <br /> Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.<br /> <br /> = Other Resources =<br /> Links to other organizations running a similar process. <br /> * http://www.ogcnetwork.net/node/1585</div> Wiki-NathanW https://wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=User:NathanW&diff=71193 User:NathanW 2013-05-15T00:54:49Z <p>Wiki-NathanW: Update details</p> <hr /> <div>===Nathan Woodrow===<br /> <br /> [[File:NathanW.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Nathan Woodrow]]<br /> <br /> Technical Consultant/QGIS Specialist at [http://www.mapsolutions.com.au/ Digital Mapping Solutions]<br /> <br /> Location: Warwick, Australia<br /> <br /> Nathan is a active core developer and promoter of QGIS.

Victor has provided numerous improvements, including new Parameter interactions allowing schema to be determined and used to assist in attribute XPath definition. <br /> <br /> This sprint focuses on integrating the Parameter work with gt-swing (for tutorials) and with app-schema (which is missing out on the party). The situation with app-schema and WPS integration is dire as all the code examples (and base support classes) are written with Simple Features in mind. We want to provide a better example so we do not build up a codebase of processes that are artificially limited from working with app-schema.<br /> <br /> Participants: <br /> <br /> * Ben will review the javadocs (and new tutorials) provided by Victor<br /> * Ben will set up a &quot;lazy&quot; feature process example using complex features, and link to it from the feature processing tutorial<br /> * Jody will update the gt-swing wizards to respect the Parameter Interaction<br /> <br /> This sprint supports external collaboration via IRC (and Google Hangout for shared screen).</div> Wiki-NathanW https://wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=User:NathanW&diff=66107 User:NathanW 2012-09-11T22:33:33Z <p>Wiki-NathanW: /* Nathan Woodrow */</p> <hr /> <div>===Nathan Woodrow===<br /> <br /> [[File:NathanW.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Nathan Woodrow]]<br /> <br /> GIS and Assets Officer, Southern Downs Regional Council<br /> <br /> Location: Warwick, Australia<br /> <br /> Nathan is a active core developer and promoter of QGIS.

Events wishing to import keynote speakers should anticipate covering expenses of these speakers. Note that OSGeo is a volunteer driven organisation without paid positions of authority and OSGeo doesn't budget to cover travel expenses.<br /> <br /> When budgeting for keynote speakers expect to cover the following expenses:<br /> * Travel, typically including:<br /> ** airfare<br /> ** visa<br /> ** travel insurance (including overseas medical, trip disruption, lost luggage, etc)<br /> ** meals during travel<br /> ** transit costs to local and host airports<br /> * Accommodation<br /> ** standard 3 or 4 star hotel within walking distance of the event<br /> ** high speed internet<br /> * Per diem costs<br /> ** 3 meals a day<br /> * Speakers fee, typically $US 1000 per day. (Note that OSGeo volunteer speakers usually have a full time job and will be loosing wages for the duration of the event)<br /> <br /> For a rough guide of travel costs refer to the [http://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp US Department of State costs]<br /> <br /> Individual speakers may waive any of these costs if attracted to the event for other reasons, and final costs are to be negotiated with the selected speaker.<br /> <br /> = Other Resources =<br /> Links to other organizations running a similar process. <br /> * http://www.ogcnetwork.net/node/1585</div> Wiki-NathanW https://wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=User:NathanW&diff=66096 User:NathanW 2012-09-11T11:52:54Z <p>Wiki-NathanW: </p> <hr /> <div>===Nathan Woodrow===<br /> <br /> [[File:NathanW.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Nathan Woodrow]]<br /> <br /> GIS and Assets Officer, Southern Downs Regional Council<br /> <br /> Location: Warwick, Australia<br /> <br /> Nathan is a active core developer and promoter of QGIS.
