The [Board and Officers - OSGeo Board and Officers] page lists the
public representatives of our foundation.

Request an email alias for each role.

Context: A key feedback from recent website feedback survey was how
difficult it was to contact these individuals, if at all. Click through to
*profile*, then click through to an advocate wiki page, etc...

We should probably deploy those aliases via ansible, this may be a good
occasion to start

We now have aliases under ansible, so if you want to add those aliases you
could file a PR, see https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/sac/ansible-

Comment (by jive):

For the project officer this is more of a role, similar to the
[Board and Officers - OSGeo board and officers] roles for:

- `president@osgeo.org`
- `secretary@osgeo.org`
- `treasurer@osgeo.org`
- no alias for the vice presidents
- no alias for the officers

The [Contact - OSGeo contact page] has:

- `info@osgeo.org` - ''info address is not monitored regularly, and
forwards only to a few recipients and is therefore not recommended''

Setting up role for each project would provide a reliable email address to
contact each project.

My request is for the role, not the person:

- `geotools-officer@osgeo.org` - would indicate an individual person, good
for use in a formal context, license inquiry, patent issue, code of
conduct policy, etc...

Alternates for consideration:

- geotools-info@osgeo.org - similar to "info" above, acting as a general
point of contact, could be monitored by several people
- geotools@osgeo.org - short, may be confused for email list, ...

Q: Is president@osgeo.org an email alias to reach Angelos, or is a mailbox
so that the next president can continue prior communication?

We don't have mailboxes. president@osgeo.org is currently pointing at
Angelos personal address.

Is there a machine readable official list of those roles-to-email mappings
?
I'm thinking we could have a script that produces the aliases

That is a good idea - it would be good to have teams record their contact
person on each project page.
