Dear CRO,
It’s my great pleasure to nominate Dr. Junyoung Choi[1] as new OSGeo
Charter Member.
He has been actively involved in open source GIS activities including
translation and organising conferences since 2000. As a FOSS4G Seoul LOC
member last year, he contributed much of his time and resources to the
success of FOSS4G Seoul. Especially he had played a key role in
organising the first UN special session at FOSS4G Seoul.[2] With a
result of his great efforts to promote open source GIS in his
organisation and Korea, LH Corp[3] and OSGeo signed a MoU[4] last year
for developing collaboration opportunities for academia, industry and
government organisations in Open Source GIS software and data in Korea.
And as a follow-up of this MoU, LH Corp and OSGeo Korean Chapter will
co-organise the FOSS4G Korea 2016.[5] As a researcher, he has carried
out many works relating smart city, big data and UN Sustainable
Development Goals(SDGs) using open geospatial technologies.[6]
I absolutely believe Dr. Choi will bring in new perspective and passion
to OSGeo.
Kind regards, 신상희
