My thoughts- initially I thought the idea was too complicated, but if
we envisage outside organisations/conferences coming to us for
speakers, then we will need something like you suggest. I wonder, in
all honesty, how much that is going to happen, but at least we will
have somewhere to point them to.
Jo,
In 2012, there have been 22 events that I'm aware of that have/are
planning to made use of the OSGeo-Live DVD (or the presentation):
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_History
At most/all of these events there an OSGeo presentation, usually based
upon our OSGeo-Live presentation, and I've usually been involved in
finding someone to give these presentations.
I suspect that Arnulf and others could testify to similar numbers of
approaches.
So, from personal experience, I would find it very useful to have a list
of ambassadors to point conference organisors at.
