= Optional Categories = Add more information about yourself to your user page.

Geolocation
Add categories for your geographic area. For example:
 * for the United Kingdom
 * for the United States

It is useful to know where people are located. For example, we can then plot a map of where OKFN members are based. In the future we would like to have a way to include an exact location. However, as yet we do not have this worked out. If anyone has any ideas please edit this page or email the okfn-discuss list.

Groups
Add categories for the groups you are a member of. For example:


 * for the Deutschland/German chapter
 * for the London local group

Activities
Add categories for the activities that interest you. For example:


 * for the science working group
