[OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo Elections 2015] Nomination for Asger Sigurd Petersen
Forwarding Asger Sigurd Petersen nomination by Jeff McKenna. Best regards, Vasile Forwarded Message Subject: Nomination for Asger Sigurd Petersen Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2015 09:19:32 -0300 From: Jeff McKenna jmcke...@gatewaygeomatics.com To: c...@osgeo.org c...@osgeo.org CC: Asger Sigurd Petersen as...@septima.dk It is my pleasure to nominate Asger Sigurd Petersen (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate#Asger_Sigurd_Skovbo_Petersen), from Denmark, as an OSGeo Charter Member. Asger is a long-time FOSS4G vocal advocate and developer in the Danish community. When the Danish national mapping agency (Danish Geodata Agency) released all of their data as Open, Asger and others formed Septima, a company focusing on delivering innovative solutions to Danish citizens through Open software and Open data. Asger is also involved in several OSGeo projects, contributing patches and plugins for QGIS, GDAL, and others. Asger is very well spoken, in several languages, and has been presenting at the global FOSS4G events for many years. I ran into Asger in the hallway of FOSS4G-Como, and it was once of the most interesting talks I had that week, hearing his opinions on Open data and Open software. Please welcome Asger's passion and knowledge into the OSGeo foundation, as a Charter member. -jeff ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[OSGeo-Discuss] Be our “Geo for All” Ambassador
Last week, Karl Donert (President, EUROGEO and Director of European Centre of Excellence digital-earth.eu) , gave an excellent presentation on Leadership in Geography education at the International Geographical Union (IGU) 2015 Regional Congress http://www.igu2015.ruhttp://www.igu2015.ru/ in Moscow. The slides of the presentation are available at http://www.slideshare.net/karldonert/leadership-in-geography which i thought to share with the wider community as i think it is important not only to all geographers but also everyone who have interest in learning and understanding the world and helping build a better world for our future generations. We thank Karl for also sharing GeoforAll ideas to the wider IGU community . I really hope we will be able to build more synergies with IGU and other scientific organisations.We are grateful for having excellent ambassadors[1] like Karl who help share the ideas and principles of Making geospatial education and opportunities accessible to all. So if you are at any events/conferences, please do present about Geo4All and be our “Geo for All” Ambassador[1]. The overview slides are available for download from our website , which you can make use of as needed.
