Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Charter Member Nomination: Stephen Mather

[Sanghee Shin]

Hi all, 

I don’t want to flood the list once again. However I’m here to second the 
nomination of Stephen Mather. He has contributed much to PostGIS and 
OpenDroneMap projects. Also he has carried out many outreach activities 
including workshops, seminars and talks. He will be a great asset to our 
community. 

Cheers, 
신상희

Nominee: Stephen Mather - USA

Stephen has likely been most recently visible within the OSGeo community 
as the founder and an ongoing contributor to OpenDroneMap -- for which 
he received supportive grant funding in 2016; on which he has given 
numerous workshops, presentations, and trainings since its development; 
and through which he has partnered with a number of people and agencies 
to use geospatial technologies for humanitarian efforts and other 
applications in education, governmental work, and more.

Through mentoring within and beyond his professional role, Stephen 
encourages the development of geospatial skills in a variety of folk, 
and has recently served as a both mentor and a teacher in cooperative 
programs in Musanze, Rwanda in addition to partnering with students at 
the State University Zanzibar and the University of Rwanda on geospatial 
projects.

Stephen is very active in outreach efforts; the last three years have 
included workshops and presentations all over the globe on open source 
geospatial software and systems (with a notable concentration on drone 
systems/remote sensing applications) -- events include FOSS4G 
(2017,2015,2014), State of the Map Africa (2017), FOSS4G Africa (2017), 
State of the Map US (2016).

Technically, Stephen brings a wide range of expertise in across GIS 
packages/protocols/libraries, remote sensing, and variety of programming 
languages/libraries and is one of the co-authors of the PostGIS Cookbook.

I believe that with a combination of strong technical skills and a 
dedication to outreach/education in diverse communities, Stephen has 
brought a great deal to the OSGeo community for years, and will continue 
to do so.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Charter member nomination: Gretchen Peterson

[Kristin Bott]

Additional details behind my +1 (was asked to explain why I seconded...)

I think that Gretchen has done a significant amount of work in
public-facing cartography / education and making both beautiful and
effective maps more accessible to folks outside of the usual / stock
audiences for such things (through: books she's written, blog posts,
Twitter, etc).

And, since part of the call for charter members involves diversity... to
continue singing the same old song (see Aleda Freeman nomination +1
follow-up; Tina Cormier nomination +1 follow-up) I don't believe that the
list of Charter Members is representative of the user community of OSGeo
projects; I believe we're skewed on a couple of demographic axes. One of
those is gender. Let's work on that.

Can provide more/additional justification/rationale/input/thoughts as
needed; let me know.

 I would like to nominate Gretchen Peterson for OSGeo Charter
 Membership. Gretchen is a cartographer, author, and educator whose
 contributions to the community have impacted many of us - speaking
 personally, I can say that everything I know about designing good
 maps in QGIS, I learned from Gretchen. Most recently, Gretchen is
 co-author of the book "QGIS Map Design".

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Membership process & email

[Cameron Shorter]

+1 to Jeroen's suggestion that we should minimise email traffic.

+1 to Brandon's suggestion of managing in a wiki (although there are 
other ways which work too)


We should be careful not to "love our list to death" by swamping it with 
well meaning but little value content, thus reducing the 
"signal-to-noise ratio". Most modern Codes of Conduct [1] discuss being 
concise in our communication and considering the readers. If you don't, 
your community will silently drop off.


I for one have not read any of the nominations on the email list, and 
I'm probably one of OSGeo Discuss's most active members. There is too much.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Charter Member Nomination: Tina Cormier

[Kristin Bott]

All --

I've been asked to provide further details on my +1. Again, positive
attributes
 below
for your reference.

I was also impressed by Tina's involvement in this year's FOSS4G; I feel
that her numerous contributions at the conference (talks, workshop) work
speaks to her dedication to open source approaches and making those
approaches accessible to users. Notably, as R continues to grow in
popularity within the data/science community as an analytical platform, I
believe that OSGeo stands to gain if the community is able to be conversant
with R in addition to the other platforms/languages with which folks might
already be familiar. (I believe this plus Alex's nomination speaks to
Tina's fit under the "positive attributes" of *"support[ing] and
promot[ing] the use of free and open source geospatial software, education,
and data..."* as well as "*participation in or support of OSGeo activities"*
.

As to diversity, I believe that Tina's proficiency in R (in addition to
many other open source platforms) is a mark in her favor. And, to continue
singing the same old song (see Aleda Freeman nomination +1 follow-up) I
don't believe that the list of Charter Members is representative of the
user community of OSGeo projects; I believe we're skewed on a couple of
demographic axes. One of those is gender. Let's work on that.

Further discussion / opinions / information needed, let me know.

cheers -

I wonder if we could use the charter members list rather than the discuss

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Membership process & email

[DelazJ]

Hi,

While I agree that all those seconding emails might flood some inboxes
(though most of modern mails have system to redirect and filter
messages), it was a real pleasure to see all the reaction from the
community: people I've never heard about, people I've never read a
message from (ok i'm not that long subscribed to the list) but from a
simple member of the community, it's just a: "WOUAW What a big and
passionate community!"
And I'm afraid that putting seconding messages elsewhere will just
hide this passion from the community, which imho deserves us: I'm
interested in knowing nominees profile (information sometimes brought
by seconding messages), but I'm not sure i will do the needed step to
check a wiki or a list elsewhere; having it in my box is just easier
and convenient.

my 2cts,
Harrissou

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Charter Member nomination: Aleda Freeman

[Kristin Bott]

Hi, all --

I was asked to back up my second-ing of Aleda's nomination with a bit more
information, so. Doing that -- although I believe that Sara's testimonial
is more than sufficient to attest to Aledas *"support and promot[ion] of
the use of free and open source geospatial software..." * and references
her contributions to the use of FOSS in geospatial work. (list of "Positive
attributes
",
below)

As a member of the 2017 FOSS4G (B)LOC, Aleda has most certainly* "put in
time and effort on the Foundation... volunteering in some ... way that gets
the Foundation going" * and in doing so has demonstrated her dedication to
the goals of OSGeo and her ability to work as part of a collaborative,
hardworking team. Within the context of FOSS4G 2017, I think Aleda did a
commendable job coordinating events, people, and logistics; given how
active she has been in the open source geospatial community leading up to
the conference, I believe that Aleda is very likely to continue in her work
in support of open source geospatial efforts.

On promoting diversity: I don't believe that the list of Charter Members is
representative of the user community of OSGeo projects; I believe we're
skewed on a couple of demographic axes. One of those is gender. Let's work
on that.

If I can provide additional information / opinions, let know -- happy to do
so.

Nominee: Stephen Mather - USA

Stephen has likely been most recently visible within the OSGeo community 
as the founder and an ongoing contributor to OpenDroneMap -- for which 
he received supportive grant funding in 2016; on which he has given 
numerous workshops, presentations, and trainings since its development; 
and through which he has partnered with a number of people and agencies 
to use geospatial technologies for humanitarian efforts and other 
applications in education, governmental work, and more.


Through mentoring within and beyond his professional role, Stephen 
encourages the development of geospatial skills in a variety of folk, 
and has recently served as a both mentor and a teacher in cooperative 
programs in Musanze, Rwanda in addition to partnering with students at 
the State University Zanzibar and the University of Rwanda on geospatial 
projects.


Stephen is very active in outreach efforts; the last three years have 
included workshops and presentations all over the globe on open source 
geospatial software and systems (with a notable concentration on drone 
systems/remote sensing applications) -- events include FOSS4G 
(2017,2015,2014), State of the Map Africa (2017), FOSS4G Africa (2017), 
State of the Map US (2016).


Technically, Stephen brings a wide range of expertise in across GIS 
packages/protocols/libraries, remote sensing, and variety of programming 
languages/libraries and is one of the co-authors of the PostGIS Cookbook.


I believe that with a combination of strong technical skills and a 
dedication to outreach/education in diverse communities, Stephen has 
brought a great deal to the OSGeo community for years, and will continue 
to do so.

Alessio is a great expert - since many many years - of GeoServer and
now of GeoNode, and makes a tremendous effort in these OSGeo projects

He is always helping people on mailing lists and he is an awesome developer

I would like to nominate Josh Campbell as a charter member of OSGeo.

Dr. Joshua S. Campbell, Founder and CEO of Sand Hill Geographic, has
over 15 years of experience working with geographic information
science and technology, including a range of open source GIS software.
He has built and deployed open source geospatial solutions for a range
of academic, government, and international organizations. While at the
State Department's Humanitarian Information Unit, Dr. Campbell created
MapGive, a crowdsource mapping initiative (built with all open source
software) designed to catalyze open geographic data production to

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Re: OSGeo Charter Member Nomination for Mohammed Zia

[Charlie Schweik]

+1 on the nomination of Mohammed Zia.

I second everything Andy Anderson said. Among other things, Zia was an
incredible help as co-editor of the FOSS4G 2017 academic proceedings that
we are about to publish and will be put on the OSGeo Journal site. He's a
proven asset and collaborator to the OSGeo community.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Membership process & email

[Jorge Sanz]

Agree, I don't think I'd like a nomination period + election being carried
on with some editings in the wiki and a silent mailing list except by some
announcements.

On the other hand, answering with a +1 on a mailing list is quick and easy
(and annoying if you don't use filters on your email).

The off list option, like adding a comment on the wiki, (IMO) would be
followed by fewer people and read by even fewer people. We are all lazy by
nature, and an election process is not the most exciting activity we do.

I agree the process can be improved, but when thinking about election
procedures, as boring as they are, we need to put the reduction of
participation barriers as a top priority if we want to reach the broadest
audience, at least once per year.

Anyway, I'm super happy to see such a big number of nominations, and I want
to thank Vasile for the hard work and long hours he's dedicating to try to
cup with such a demonstration of enthusiasm.

My 2 cents

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: nomination of Anujit Vanasarochana from Thaialnd

Dear Jody

I'm a bit disappointed about this request. Many people were seconded as charter 
members simply typing +1 and the name of the person seconding.

Why do you want more explanation from Hayashi-san and Kenya-san and you didn't 
ask in other cases?

Hayashi-san and Kenya-san  are our charter members (they have the 
characteristics that you had listed). To better say, they are great charter 
members, relevant contributors to the Japanese and Asian Community. They don't 
deserve a behaviour different from all the other charter members. We didn't 
request explanation about the support, only about nomination. Please don't 
frustrate the volunteers of our community creating differential requests. 
Obviosly Hayashi and Kenya are able to provide pieces of information but they 
are also asking themselves why this different behaviour with them. And me too, 
I ask you: why? do you have some pieces of information about the people who 
were nominated that I don't have?


Best,

Maria

Thaialnd

Can I ask the people who have seconded this nomination to provide information 
on what positive attribute Dr. Anujit Vansarochana displays in the our 
community to be considered as a charter member.

For reference here is the positive 
attributes 
list from the membership process we are following:

Recommended membership selection criteria include:

  *   Members should believe in the general goals of the Foundation. To support 
and promote the use of free and open source geospatial software, education and 
data in a collaborative manner.
  *   Previous participation in or support of OSGeo activities
  *   The person should already have made a contribution to free and open 
source geospatial software, education or open data.
  *   The person should be willing to put in time and effort on the Foundation, 
perhaps joining committee(s), or volunteering in some other way that gets the 
Foundation going.
  *   Members should be prepared to work constructively and positively towards 
the goals of the Foundation. Good teamwork skills are an asset.

Membership nominations should strive to promote diversity:

  *   Nominate members representing a diversity of geographic regions, 
diversity of projects, diversity of programming languages.
  *   Nominate members representing and diversity of interests (e.g., 
corporate, hobbyist, educational, scientific).
  *   Nominate members representing a diversity of humanity including gender 
and race

This is a reference to my own ignorance of Dr. Anujit Vansarochana activities 
and no slight is intended or implied. I have tried to search the discussion 
email list, geoforall email list and osgeo wiki to learn more.

Dear Community!

Today and with this email OSGeo's Conference Committee (CC) publishes
the "call for proposals" for our global FOSS4G event in 2019. As you all
know, it is likely that FOSS4G 2019 will take place in Europe.

If you/your team is interested to participate, please have a deep look
onto our 2019 RfP WIKI page [1].

Please especially internalize the time schedule and ensure that at least
*one* member of your team signs on OSGeo's conference mailing list [2].
This list is the central communication platform that will be used
through the whole RFP process.

For the first stage, we expect a letter of intent (LoI) from every
bidding team (see section on WIKI page [1] and the appropriate section
in the RFP document [3]). The deadline for LoI's is september 29th 2017.

In case of any questions at any time, you may consult CC's mailing list.
Also scroll through the OSGeo-WIKI, you'll find tons of information on
past RFP processes - regarding what others did might be very helpful.

One last important information:

While finalizing the RFP document for 2019 we recognized, that there is
an open motion in CC, that probably will lead to a change in the voting
meachanism on LoI's. This motion ends today, so it overlaps unluckily
with the start of the RFP process.
The *old* voting mechanism, as described in the RFP-document [3],
determines that every CC member has one vote and that all LoI's with a
minimum of 3 votes pass to stage 2.
It is likely that we will change this to a "thumbs up/thumbs down"-vote.
This means, that every member of CC votes on every LoI. LoI's that
receive more than 50% of "thumbs up"-votes will pass stage 1 and are
then requested to prepare a full proposal.
!! Please also note, that this motion only aims on the voting mechanism
for stage 1 and does not touch the final decision process !!


Before I leave you alone with all your work to be done, I can say the
following: Having passed the full process on my own recently, I can
really encourage you to participate. Organizing a global FOSS4G is
probably *some* work, but mostly it is fun! So, don't hesitate, let
become your dream of a FOSS4G in your city true and make the barkeepers
in your town happy ;-) !

So go ahead and have fun!

Till (on behalf of OSGeo's Conference Commttee)

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Membership process & email

[brandon whitehead]

Hi,

A potentially trivial change would be to keep the process the same, but
run through the wiki---i.e. use a wiki page as the venue for nominators
to log in and update/edit.  Freeze the page after a certain date, and
now there's an archived copy of the process.  Anyone interested in
real-time updates can simply log in and "follow" the page, others can
visit the page and check the results as they see fit.

Note, this is conceptually the same process for nomination and voting,
but it is collated via the wiki instead of email.  This also doesn't
involve additional work to create an automated system.

just a few thoughts from an interested lurker...

It is great to see the OSGeo community being so active and expanding! The

The downside is that email traffic is exploding around this election. I fear

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: nomination of Anujit Vanasarochana from Thaialnd

[sittichai choosumrong]

Dear Jody,

The Thai FOSS4G community has been in existence since 2004
and is vibrant and growing. Both the OSGeo.TH and the Thai QGIS community,
(over 2000 members) is active and growing.

Our present charter members from Thailand and the ones proposed this years
are leading
the growth and spread of OSGeo/FOSS4G in Thailand. Anujit, Kampanart,
Sittichai (in alphabetical
order), and henceforth referred to as the "Naresuan Univeristy Team", are
leading this tremendous
effort with commitment and vigor.

The "Naresuan Team" is  active in developing curriculum for teaching and
research using FOSS4G
tools such as QGIS, GeoServer, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GRASS-GIS and
ZOO-Project.

Kampanart, is involved in teaching spatial analysis and geospatial
programming
using QGIS and Python as well as propriety GIS tools. Kampanart do many
research/project based on Open Source Software for Thai government
(Ministry of natural Resources and Environment, National Institute for
Emergency Medicine etc.)

Anujit, is teaching Remote Sensing, GIS application and disaster mitigation
and using QGIS and recently R-Statistical package. Also do research works
and has friendly relations with any others Thailand geo-informatics
instructors, thus he can make any more linkage collaboration for OSGeo
community to any south-east asia research groups.
https://wiki.osgeo.org/images/2/2f/Open_source_related_act.pdf


The "Naresuan Team" has also been instrumental in developing educational
material
(text books in Thai Language) for Open Source Spatial database (
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/305062475_
xeksarprakxbkarsxnraywichakarcadkarthankhxmullaeathankhxmulp
humisarsnthes_104333 )and are presently
developing a text book for Web and Mobile-GIS undergraduate/post-graduate
teachings.

They organize training and workshops using OSGeo software and Jeff McKenna
was one of the early visitor invited by the "Naresuan Team" to conduct a
very
successful MapServer workshop. Venka, also had the privilege of  presenting
at
workshops organized by "Naresuan Team". The most recent one was held under
the auspices OSGeo.TH in August, 2017.

Apart for teaching, Kamparnart and Anujit are implementing several funded
projects for environmental management (mangroves), disaster mitigation
(flood, landslides, medical emergency system) and environmental monitoring
(weather, in-door sensor for poultry farming etc.). They extensively and
exclusively
use OSGeo tools for developing and deploying geospatial solutions as part of
these projects.

The "Naresuan Team" is also recently involved in Open Hardware and IoT
applications.

Mr. Chingchai, a post-graduate student  groomed by the Naresuan Team
successfully participated in OSGeo GSoC 2016 and Dr. Sittichai is
a mentor OSGeo GSoC 2017. So, the "Naresuan Team" is contributing
code to OSGeo.

As Charter Members who have either nominated or seconded the
candidature of Anujit and Kamparnart, it our pleasure to provide
these additional details about their individual contributions as well
as team efforts.

Best regards

Sittichai and Venka
