[nicolas bozon]

I also strongly support this excellent nomination.
As the instigator and advocate of the FOSS4G culture, Venka-sensei is an
open source geospatial visionary as well as a wonderful community builder.
I believe he would be an excellent director once again, and a great asset
for the future of our Foundation.

Venka has also been directly involved in OSGeo since its inception, in

is also a long-time board member of the OSGeo Japan chapter.

A professor at Osaka City University in Japan, Venka constantly

His influence in Asia wide reaching, being easily the most influential
FOSS4G leader there.  Venka also helps organize the GIS-IDEAS Symposium

Venka is enthused to be a part of the OSGeo Board again, helping a

Professor Venkatesh Raghavan, popularly known as Venka is one of the most
visible members of OSGeo around the world, and more particularly Asia. He
has mentored innumerable conferences and many local chapters.

All the best to Venka.

It is our pleasure to nominate Venka Raghavan
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Venkatesh_Raghavan), from Japan, for the
OSGeo Board. It is hard to put into (few) words, Venka's influence on
FOSS and geo. The 2012 winner of the Sol Katz Award, he created the
term “FOSS4G” back in 2004, using it as the name of an international
event in Thailand, and since then he has promoted FOSS4G all over the
globe. He was also one of the organizers of the recent FOSS4G-Asia
event this past December.

Venka has also been directly involved in OSGeo since its inception, in
fact he was on the first OSGeo Board of Directors from 2006 to 2007. He
is also a long-time board member of the OSGeo Japan chapter.

A professor at Osaka City University in Japan, Venka constantly

Venka is enthused to be a part of the OSGeo Board again, helping a
foundation that he helped form at the beginning. We could not be more

> It is our pleasure to nominate Venka Raghavan
> (http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Venkatesh_Raghavan), from Japan, for the
> OSGeo Board.  It is hard to put into (few) words, Venka's influence on
> FOSS and geo.  The 2012 winner of the Sol Katz Award, he created the
> term “FOSS4G” back in 2004, using it as the name of an international
> event in Thailand, and since then he has promoted FOSS4G all over the
> globe.  He was also one of the organizers of the recent FOSS4G-Asia
> event this past December.
> 
> Venka has also been directly involved in OSGeo since its inception, in
> fact he was on the first OSGeo Board of Directors from 2006 to 2007.  He
> is also a long-time board member of the OSGeo Japan chapter.
> 
> A professor at Osaka City University in Japan, Venka constantly
> encourages his students to leverage FOSS4G in all of their research.
> His influence in Asia wide reaching, being easily the most influential
> FOSS4G leader there.  Venka also helps organize the GIS-IDEAS Symposium
> every 2 years in Vietnam, which is always FOSS4G-based.
> 
> Venka is enthused to be a part of the OSGeo Board again, helping a
> foundation that he helped form at the beginning.  We could not be more
> please and honoured to nominate Venka for the Board of Directors.
