Jeff McKenna
I nominate Jeff McKenna to the OSGeo Board of Directors. Jeff has been
active in OSGeo since being voted as a founding charter member. He
leads the conference committee and has assisted in each of the annual
FOSS4G events since 2004.
Jeff has been very active in the MapServer community for almost 10
years. Not a trained developer, he has made a point of trying to help
new users in any way that he can: such as through documentation,
installers (MapServer 4 Windows, OSGeo4W), and answering general mailing
list questions. He is a member of MapServer's Project Steering
Committee (PSC), which is responsible for the direction of the product.
Jeff is a frequent traveller, and enjoys spreading his passion for
FOSS4G through workshops for new users around the world. He actually
enjoys training new users, and has held workshops at many universities
and colleges.
As he is now operating his own consulting company based on FOSS4G, on
the East Coast of Canada, I believe Jeff has the experience and he will
bring passion and a strong voice to the OSGeo board.
