[OSGeo-Discuss] My last letter as President
Dear fellow OSGeoers, I want to congratulate all the recently elected members of the Board, specially the new ones! I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I did and contribute with your unique view to our organization. I want to thank all the people that helped me on this two-year journey and I hope I helped others on this journey too. OSGeo is evolving to be more inclusive, diverse and bigger than ever and I am proud of you all. As some of you may know, some months ago I decided to go back into the barricades and far from public exposure. I think rotating positions inside a voluntary organization is something very healthy to do and gives you a unique perspective. That's why I decided to participate on a proposal for FOSS4G 2021 and not repeat elections again for the Board. I hereby resign as President to let one of the current members of the Board take this position. I have always a strong advocate that this kind of positions should be taken by Board members, so I want to explicitly facilitate the transition. Our current vice-presidents Helena Mitasova and Angelos Tzotsos will fill the space until a new President is appointed. I have to say I'm still a bit sad of the geographic, cultural and ethnic representation on the Board. I am sure we can change this on the following years. Until then, I am confident current members of the Board will do a great job representing you all. See you all in Calgary in 2020! María, your former OSGeo President. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
