Forwarding Jeff McKenna nomination for the board by Markus Neteler Best Regards
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Markus Neteler Date: 2014-08-15 10:58 GMT+02:00 Subject: Board Nomination for Jeff McKenna To: CRO I'd like to nominate Jeff McKenna for the board election. Little needs to be said about Jeff as he is widely known in and outside the OSGeo community for his passion of our community, straight forward approach and a fantastic sense of humor. Jeff whom I know personally since the famous initial FOSS4G 2004 conference in Bangkok is supporting the ideals and daily business of FOSS4G community and OSGeo Foundation with all his energy. Jeff is well known for more than a decade in the Mapserver community and its PSC, and he is known as a driving force of OSGeo around the globe. Jeff is one of the original charter members (from 2006, year of "birth" of OSGeo) and has years of experience serving on the OSGeo board. Jeff is always available to listen to existing or potential community members in order to bring the community ideals of OSGeo forward. He is truely international, proven by his wide, visible network. Jeff has assisted in the formation of several OSGeo local chapters worldwide and especially supported the FOSS4G conferences the world over. He is being a important friend to many community members. I am glad that Jeff has agreed to stand for re-election and continue to lend his voice, face and wisdom to OSGeo.
