I would like to nominate myself as a candidate for the PSC. As many of you are aware, I have been involved in app-schema development for some time. My colleague Rini Angreani and I have taken these modules from unsupported to release, with the great help of the community. I would like to give a little more back to the community, and I think I now have enough experience with GeoServer to be able to contribute to the PSC.
I am pleased to announce that a new project, the Australian Spatial Research Data Commons (ASRDC), has recently been approved, and in addition to myself and Rini Angreani, will be hiring seven more open source spatial information software developers, including two to work specifically on GeoServer. The advertisements for these positions are expected to be on the CSIRO recruitment web site around the end of next week: https://recruitment.csiro.au/asp/index.asp I will circulate links to these positions when they are advertised. One motivation for nominating myself for the PSC is that it will strengthen the linkages between the GeoServer community and the ASRDC project. I am also quite comfortable with the idea of enlarging the PSC somewhat, to extend the geographic and domain coverage of the committee. I would not like to see the other PSC nominees contesting with me for a single seat, as there are great contributors out there who should not be squished by those who are well-funded. I am sure we have room for more. Kind regards, Ben. On 25/11/09 06:07, Andrea Aime wrote: > Hi, > with Justin departure from the PSC we have been left one man > short.
