Link IndividualMember to user profile page when available

[sarahboyce]

I propose:

• accounts.models.Profile has a new bio text field which is displayed on the user profile page (example page: https://www.djangoproject.com/~sarahboyce/)
• members.models.IndividualMember has a nullable FK field to User
• When a new members.models.IndividualMember is created without a linked account, it sends an email with a link to create an account on djangoproject.com to the new member
• A button Send account invite is available on the IndividualMember admin edit/list page

After doing some admin to link existing IndividualMember to their User account, and sending invite emails to members without an account, we can then have the DSF members page have the member names be links to their user profile page

I'm assuming this is the forum thread you meant? https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/what-is-the-technical-team-and-the-technical-advisory-team/36455

Yes, thank you! I have updated the proposal quite a bit also :+1:

This is shiny and I like it. Great idea and proposal!

Is there a good or reasonable alternative to Gravatar which I see linked up in the sidebar? Given the recent Automattic meltdown, I deleted my account and one use or advocate anything they touch. Which is a shame. I don't think this image quite captures how pale I really am. https://www.djangoproject.com/~jefftriplett/

First ideas that came in mind: the avatar from the GitHub user, since all contributors I think already have one account over there. Or we can add an URLField in the profile so you can choose. Pros and cons in both solutions.

You can fetch profile data for a user from this endpoint;

https://api.github.com/users/marksweb

Could have a templatetag to pull that from the api for the profile page?
