+1 for Astrid.
I've worked closely with Astrid on the OSGeo-Live project and believe
she posses characteristics which are valuable for OSGeo:
* She leads by example, and often does the hard or boring work.
* She is encouraging and enabling of others, which helps works well in
our "do-ocracy" environment.
* She has been actively involved in the promotion of OSGeo and OSGeo
projects. OSGeo is blessed with having many awesome technical people,
but we have less people actively involved in promotion - and we need
both to be successful.
Warm regards, Cameron

In the short time that I have come to know Astrid she proved to be an
asset to the foundation. From Foss4g 2016 in Bonn onwards she has been
a driving force in the Marketing Committee. From continuous
contributing to marketing tactics to hands-on dealing with collateral
production ranging from Live USB to translation of info sheets.
All the while being critical yet compassionate.
Kind regards,
Marc Vloemans

-------- Forwarded Message --------
It gives us great pleasure to nominate Astrid Emde as a member of
the OSGeo Board.
Astrid [1] needs no introduction for most in our community; for
the few who may not yet be fully aware of Astrid’s contributions,
she is an (hyper) active member of OSGeo for many years. She is a
PSC member of the Mapbender [2] and OSGeo Live projects [3].
Apart from being a regular contributor at global and regional
FOSS4G conferences, Astrid is the force behind the German
language OSGeo Local Chapter FOSSGIS e.V. [4] ever since its
inception. She is also involved in showcasing OSGeo at
mega-events like INTERGEO [5] and scientific conferences like
AGIT [6].
Astrid relentlessly promotes OSGeo by organizing community
events, code sprints, workshops on a variety of OSGeo software,
and documentation/translation. More recently, her excellent
communication skills are being put to effective use in our
Marketing Committee.
We would like to thank Astrid for kindly agreeing to spare her
time for the added responsibility of serving the OSGeo Foundation
as a member of the Board.
Yours,
Venka & Jeff
