-------- Mensaje reenviado -------- Asunto: Nomination for Nikos Alexandris Fecha: Fri, 1 Aug 2014 04:35:11 +0200 (CEST) De: Dimitris Kotzinos Para: c...@osgeo.org >> OSGeo Chief Returning Officer <c...@osgeo.org> CC: js...@osgeo.org, Nick Ves Dear CRO and all, we would like to nominate Dr. Nikos Alexandris for becoming an OSGEO Charter Member. Nikos has been a long advocate of Open Source GIS and OSGEO [1] and has been one very active person in supporting both since 2007 (and we know him since). He actually sees OSGEO as the means to actively cultivating a technologically advanced and socially aware geospatial way of thinking and acting. He has been actively involved in pushing Open Source GIS and OSGEO in both academic and industry-oriented settings and his passion has taken him recently from Greece up to India (TERI and Kurukshetra Universities) in order to promote specifically GRASS-GIS. He has participated in community sprints for GRASS-GIS, in the translation of the OSGEO web site to Greek and has been very active in the OSGEO Greek Chapter and the Greek Open Source community in general, especially by having participated in numerous events in Greece about Open Source in general and Open Source GIS specifically and has been interviewed about this for magazines. You can find more about Nikos at [2]. We think that Nikos gathers all the required qualities specified in the OSGEO nomination pages for a charter member. Dimitris, as the founder of the Greek OSGEO Chapter, considers Nikos a valuable member of the OSGEO Greek Chapter and OSGEO in general and as OSGEO Charter Members we both think that Nikos' passion and dynamism will bring a lot of energy to OSGEO and that he carries all the necessary qualities to serve OSGEO from many different positions.
