Isn't that for people who feed Planet GNOME?
Sorry if I'm wrong. But that's my impression when seeing it there.


It's anyone who adds their co-ordinates to the list further down on that
same wiki page.
A few points on GNOMEDev (http://www.frappr.com/gnomedev),
a. It allows the contributor to immediatelly add themselves to the list,
b. They can reposition themselves on the map easily as well. If you go on a trip (Guadec?),
you can update your position while you are there.
c. No need to find coordinates; you can set the city location, then fine-tune to the exact point on the map.
d. You can zoom in/out on the map.
e. Corollary: You can view individual contributors on congested parts of the map. For example,
Europe looks congested now; zoom in and you see each individual user.
f. You can add a thumbnail photo, full size photo as well as related photos.
g. You can add shout-outs. Consider it as a mini-p.g.o. with easy access.

I am not affiliated with the frappr service in any way.

I feel that for marketing purposes (marketing-list AT gnome.org), it is important
to
1. get end-users (as opposed to GNOMEDev) added to a similar map as well.
Hmm, see
http://www.frappr.com/gnomeusers
replicating the effect of http://www.frappr.com/firefoxusers
2. make an effort to publicise GNOMEDev a bit more.
