Wiki-Nazdiod: /* Publish your real name instead of your User:name */

''The [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:OSGeo_Member OSGeo Member list] is unofficial. If it works out someone might want to make a motion that something along this line will document each user's OSGeo's official Membership Process. ''

== Introduction ==
If you consider yourself an [http://www.osgeo.org/membership OSGeo Member], then you may want yourself listed on the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:OSGeo_Member OSGeo Member list]. Everyone is welcome.

Please add some information about yourself on your user page (must be logged in). You may input your latitude and longitude on your user page. Read the [[Category talk:OSGeo Member | discussion page]] to see what could be done with those coordinates. Hack it if you feel like it. Watch out for [[Axis Order Confusion]] when you do it.

To be listed on this page, you can add the <nowiki>[[Category:OSGeo Member]]</nowiki> category tag to your user page, but it might be better to follow the instructions in the '''Naming''' section below.

== Publish your real name instead of your User:name ==
If you want your name to appear in the list, rather than the <tt>User:</tt> prefix and your OSGeo userid, follow these steps:

* Construct a URL consisting of <nowiki>"http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/"</nowiki> plus your name, where spaces in your name are replaced by underscore (_) characters. For example, if your name was "First Last", the URL would be <nowiki>"http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Nazzareno_Diodato"</nowiki>

* Visit that URL. If you get a page that says "There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page", then 'your' page doesn't yet exist, and you can proceed with the next step. If you find that the page <i>does</i> already exist, then you will have to go back to the prior step and select a 'different name' (e.g. perhaps add your middle initial).

* Select the "edit this page" link. You now have to to this page:
* A redirect to your user page. For example, if your user page is at <nowiki>[[User:FLast]]</nowiki>, then add this line:
<tt><nowiki>"http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/First_Last"</nowiki>

<tt><nowiki>[[Category:OSGeo Member]]</nowiki></tt>

* Now save your new page.

== Publish your membership to local chapters, committees and other sub groups ==
* Visit the URL created in the previous instruction ''Redirect''.
* Select the "edit this page" link.
** Tag this page so that it appears in the requested OSGeo Membership list(s).

You do that by for instance adding this line:

<tt><nowiki>[[Category:OSGeo Member]]</nowiki></tt>

to get listed in the OSGeo Member list.

Or

<tt><nowiki>[[Category:Nederland]]</nowiki></tt>

to be shown in the Local Chapter: Nederland. Before Setting the category for your Local Chapter, check the [[Local Chapters|list of Local Chapters]].

In this case, do not add a <nowiki>[[Category:OSGeo Member]]</nowiki> tag to your user page.

== Introduction to the Open Source Geospatial Foundation Wiki ==

This is the community Wiki of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. Please refer to [http://www.osgeo.org/ the official web site] for official documents and policies. This Wiki is the place where documents such as committee notes, discussion on software projects, and proposals can be created collaboratively.

See [[Getting Started]] for how to dive in and get involved. We have [[Local Chapters]], which work regionally and in other languages. We also have many active [[Mailing Lists]] for discussions. Take a moment to visit our [[Library]]. We have a list of email [[Contacts]] for various projects and functions.

The OSGeo has an [http://www.osgeo.org/about official structure] but the movement is much larger. You are free to join us and add yourself to the [[All Members]] page.

In November of 2006, OSGeo accomplished a major milestone with the addition of a full time Executive Director. Tyler Mitchell was selected by the board of directors and helps to coordinate and lead the efforts of our organization. Find out more at [http://www.osgeo.org/tyler Tyler Mitchell's Blog].
