A huge welcome to the new board members (Anita, Helena, Jody, Sanghee,
Venka) thank you for volunteering your time to help the foundation.
Please be sure to join the OSGeo Board mailing list now (subscribe at
http://lists.osgeo.org/listinfo/board).
A big hug to both Nimalika and Dirk, for your continued leadership. I
had the privilege to meet again with Nimalika in Seoul (those meetings
with leaders like her are why I step on a plane for 21 hours), and we
also were able to see Dirk through Skype at the Annual General Meeting
session in Seoul. I cannot say enough about the work of both of them,
for OSGeo.
Thank you to the departing board members: Anne, Jachym, Jorge, Gerald
and Bart. I know that they will continue their leadership in OSGeo,
that is for sure.
Vasile, well, he did a massive amount of work to manage this election
process. He gave so many opportunities and ways for charter members to
speak up and give opinions. And most importantly (a key part in
leadership) he listened to everyone. Thank you Vasile for your
dedication to the community.

Dear all,
Theses are the final results from the 2015 elections[1] for the open
seats[2] of the OSGeo Board of Directors. There were *five* seats open
and they have been filled by (alphabetical order):
- Anita Graser
- Helena Mitasova
- Jody Garnett
- Sanghee Shin
- Venkatesh Raghavan
Thanks to all candidates for going through the elections process.
Overall voting participation was 88% (246 from 280):
- 246 complete votes;
- 8 incomplete responses (the survey was open but not submitted);
- 26 members did not open the survey at all.
There were no tie scores to arbitrate. Thank you to all who voted!
The complete resulting Board for 2015/2016 is presented bellow:
- Anita Graser
- Helena Mitasova
- Jody Garnett
- Massimiliano Cannata

With the election results published[3] the new Board of Directors[4]
becomes effective as of now. According with the rule established last
year, the detailed scores of each nominee will be published ASAP on our
wiki.
Congratulations and please, dear members, welcome the new OSGeo directors!
We wish to thank the outgoing directors for their continued support of
OSGeo and for helping to run a fantastic organization with a great
membership and lots of energy. Anne, Jachym, Jorge, Gerald and Bart,
thank you very much!
We thank all candidates who stood in this election and all OSGeo
Charter Members for their contribution and votes. Nimalika and Dirk,
thanks for stepping up, we are looking forward to work with you and the
rest of the members to keep the foundation growing and improving.
My role as CRO is ending now. It was a privilege to work with you to
further grow OSGeo. Personally, I would like to also thank Jorge for all
his hard work put in the electronic voting system and to Jeff for his
continuous support. In the following weeks I will get back to you and
reopen two discussions:
- Election process for the following years (survey conclusions and
analysis);
- Mechanisms for assuring up to date charter members contact channels
and retirement of inactive members (I will present some voting
statistics for the last couple of years).
Best regards.
Vasile
