== Scope ==
This wiki page summarizes content for an OSGeo letter of reference for volunteer work wihtin OSGeo.

== Motivation ==

* Letters of recommendation (LoR) can be useful for OSgeo volunteers as a means to prove their OSGeo-related activities to third parties, e.g. when sending in a resume for a new position.
* LoR should be available both to active volunteers and persons retiring from OSGeo.

== Workflow and data sources ==

* LoR should be easy to create, ideally in an (semi-)automated workflow.
* Content for a specific LoR can be harvested from the volunteers personal OSGeo wiki page (if existing):
# Name
# Address / city / state / country
# Email
# Local Chapter
# OSGeo experience and roles
* Note: This might be an opportunity to improve the metadata concept of the personal wiki pages: The wiki pages seem to have currently no metadata-tags for the committes and projects (community projects / projects-undergoing-incubation / graduated projects). Also, there is no metadata on when a person was elected as a charter member and when that person retired.
* For each of the badges displayed under "OSGeo experience and roles" we could set up short general description as templates.
