I wish to nominate Helena Mitasova for the board of directors. She is member of several OSGeo committees and she is continuously active and visible in the OSGeo community.
Helena has been developing Open Source GIS since 1990 with even earlier efforts to lay out the mathematical foundations. She published a series of sophisticated algorithms in scientific publications and implemented them in the OSGeo software stack. This includes extremely valuable contributions to GRASS GIS and other projects. She is mentoring students for many years, and is developing publicly accessible courseware for teaching Open Source GIS. Her activities in the education committee of OSGeo are fundamental to render OSGeo visible in academia and elsewhere. She also contributed a first public geodata set to the community, showing once more her engagement in various OSGeo activities.
