(forwarding response from Hayashi-san)
Dear All, Sorry for the delay in my response. I feel honored to be nominated to the OSGeo Board. I have been a part of the very active Japanese community in promoting FOSS4G since the inception of OSGeo in 2006. I am grateful to Venkatesh Raghavan and Toru Mori for introducing me to the FOSS4G world. Through my participation in OSGeo related activities I have had the immense pleasure of getting to know the global OSGeo community and its amazing role in fostering high quality geospatial software. As exemplified by the FOSS4G conferences, the main strength of OSGeo lies in a its broad based nature rather than a hierarchical approach. I particularly look forward to working with this young and vibrant community and do my best for further strengthening OSGeo. I would like to encourage and bring-in new software projects such as ZOO-Project, goGPS-Project, pgRouting etc. into the OSGeo realm. I would like to particularly focus of building strong tie-ups with OSGeo communities in Asia and contribute to adoption of FOSS4G in Asia region.
