+## Speaking about Apache
+
+We encourage all of our committers to speak about Apache Projects, 
+Technologies, and generally help to grow and enhance our community.
+For more information on getting started, see our 
+[Speakers section][/speakers/].
+
+In addition, we also encourage all committers to list themselves as
+["Local Mentors"][/localmentors.html], and thus help out new committers
+and would be committers. For more information on what this program involves,
+and how to sign yourself up for it, please see the

+If you're an Apache committer, and you're interested in speaking about Apache 
+Technologies, Apache Projects or the Apache Software Foundation as a whole, 
+we'd encourage you to get involved and list yourself in our speaker 
+application!
+
+## Finding Speakers
+
+If you are organising an event and looking for speakers, please see
+[the Apache Speakers homepage][/speakers/] for details.
+
+## Listing yourself as a Potential Speaker
+
+To list yourself as someone interested in being an Apache Speaker, there are
+two steps involved. The first is to create a FOAF file for yourself, including
+a couple of key pieces of information. The second is to list yourself in the
+speaking DOAP file.
+
+### Creating your FOAF file
+
+Creating a FOAF file for yourself is very easy, assuming you don't already 
+have one available. Details on how to create a FOAF file, along with a
+handy wizard to guide you through the process, are available at
+[http://people.apache.org/foaf/][http://people.apache.org/foaf/] .
+
+When creating your FOAF file, as a potential speaker we do require you
+to include a few key bits of information. These are:
+ * Your location
+ * The projects you are involved in (include foundation wide ones too if you're
+   happy to talk about these)
+ * Your twitter ID (so we can point people at your speaking history on 
+   [Lanyrd][http://lanyrd.com/])
+
+
+### Listing yourself in the Speakers DOAP file
+
+Now, if you haven't already done so, checkout the committers directory from
+svn:
+
+    svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/
+
+Edit *local-outreach/LocalSpeakers.rdf* and add yourself in as a
+helper. If your FOAF file is in svn and showing up on people.apache.org,
+add in:
+
+     <helper>
+       <foaf:Person rdf:resource="urn:org:apache:[your username].rdf" />
+     </helper>
+
+If you have your FOAF file externally hosted, then the **rdf:resource**
+should point to the URL of the file.
+
+For an apache committer with username "foo", your entry would be one of:
+
+     <helper>
+       <foaf:Person rdf:resource="urn:org:apache:foo.rdf" />
+     </helper>
+     <helper>
+       <foaf:Person rdf:resource="http://www.example.com/foaf/foo.rdf" />
+     </helper>
+
+
+Within 24 hours of committing your addition to
+*local-outreach/LocalSpeakers.rdf*, you should appear in the web
+application as a potential speaker! Head over to 
+[http://community.zones.apache.org/](http://community.zones.apache.org/)
+a day later a check you're listed properly.
