Dear All,
it is a great honor for me to nominate Jorge Samuel Mendes de Jesus.

Jorge is active and recognized for his work for years in the world of
FOSS4G. He is currently working at Geocat and is involved in various Open
Source ProjectS, amongst them the famous GeoNetwork and PyWPS. Jorge is
someone with a clear vision and positive thinking.

Jorge attends the FOSS4G on a regular manner and often make presentation
and workshop there.

I have faith in Jorge and feel that he is someone representative and that
will be of big benefit for OSGeo.

All the best,

Hi all: I would like to nominate Dr. Rich Signell [1] for OSGeo Charter
Membership.

Rich is a research oceanographer with the US Geological Survey and a strong
longtime proponent of data sharing and standards.

Rich's pragmatic approach and strong use of FOSS4G are evident in his 
numerous

contributions to a variety of FOSS4G projects (pycsw, OWSLib, etc.).  Also,
his vision and focus on integration/chaining, reproducible workflows via
Python notebooks and open process have greatly helped demonstrate and 
showcase

capabilities of FOSS4G and standards in the ocean, atmospheric and climate
modelling communities.

In closing, Rich is a believer (echo'ing nhv from awhile back) and would be
a great asset to OSGeo as a charter member.

Thanks

I did not realize Guido was not already a charter member! I heartily second the 
nomination!

I'll add that Guido has been advocating for FLOSS4G for many years, through 
organizing presentations for the AvidGeo group he started in Boston, along with 
workshops he has led on using PostGIS, etc.

I believe so,
"2. An existing charter member can nominate potential new Charter
Member(s)." - https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Membership_Process

If you have someone who you think should be a charter member, and you
aren't one, you should find a charter member to submit the nomination.
Chances are you know one who you could ask.

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member Nomination: Doug Newcomb

 I would like to nominate Doug Newcomb, a GIS guru at the US Fish and Wildlife 
office in Raleigh, NC as OSGeo charter member.

For many years he has been a fantastic advocate of FOSS4G in the government 
agencies offering not only presentations, organization of sessions and meetings 
but also technical help with  Mapserver, GDAL/OGR tools and GRASS GIS.
His work with lidar data is famous for breaking records in the amount of data 
processed  and information extracted with minimal resources.
He has contributed to testing GRASS and other lidar tools and helped many 
people to get started with FOSS4G.

I believe that we need more people like Doug and Michael Smith (also nominated 
this year by Jeff McKenna) who can promote FOSS and OSGeo  in the government 
agencies not only by talking about it but also by using it and demonstrating 
how well it works for important agency tasks and cutting edge applications.

I believe Doug would be a great representative of OSGeo and provide a much 
needed connection to government agencies as an active charter member.

A big Thank You to all who actively contributed by nominating
candidates and supporting their nominations! Another big Thank You to
all candidates for representing their OSGeo community aspect at the
board level and for electing a dedicated board of directors.

As CRO I am very happy to say that the nomination period worked
smoothly (except that almost nobody cared to email the nomination to
the CRO address as requested... :-).

We now have 22 high level candidates [0] but only 20 open slots, a
number which I simply copied over from last year when I prepared the
schedule for 2012.

As per our New Membership Process [1] we can add between 10% and one
third of the existing Charter Membership, in this year this would be
13 to 42 members. My proposal to the board is to accept all 22 members
instead of running an election which would simply exclude two
potential charter members on a more or less arbitrary basis.

Therefore I defer the start of the election process for two days in

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member Nomination: Doug Newcomb

2012-07-06 Thread julia harrell
I think Doug would be an excellent choice. A definite +1.

I worked with Doug off and on for many years when I was with NC State
Government and he's always been a great collaborator and go-to person
when an issue with open source GIS software or big data needs solving.
He has worked on the NC GIS Conference Program committee for several
events and has been an agent of change there too - helping to bring
open source projects and software to the attention of the NC GIS
community. Something that particular conference has not been known for
until the last few years.

- Julia Harrell


  I would like to nominate Doug Newcomb,
 a GIS guru at the US Fish and Wildlife office in Raleigh, NC
 as OSGeo charter member.

 

 I believe Doug would be a great representative of OSGeo and
 provide a much needed connection to government agencies
 as an active charter member.

 He collaborated with FOSSGIS.de (he has been its very first
 non-founding member), Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam GFZ, the
 South African Metereological Service (where he successfully introduced
 his team to GRASS GIS), Geomancers.net and RapidEye AG among others

 He wrote several GRASS modules, available in Addons [2], and obtained
 RapidEye data for i.atcorr module [3], been a developer of the GISIX
 live-linux DVD [4]. Moreover, he won several research prizes with FOSS
 GIS work [see details at 0,1]

 I met Peter at FOSS4G 2010 in Barcelona, and worked with him during
 GRASS Community Sprint 2011 in Prague. He has been so far an effective
 ambassador of OSGeo in corporate/academic environment, and he would
 benefit from the official recognition of OSGeo community to achieve

I'd like to second Thomas' nomination.

Thomas is another one of those individuals that we're so used to seeing 
around OSGeo projects, conferences and code sprints that we just assumed 
that he was already charter members.


As Steve wrote, he is a very constructive team player, so much that many 
of the performance gains made in recent FOSS4G benchmarking exercises in 
both MapServer and Mapnik can be tracked down to the great 
coopetition[1] spirit that Thomas (for MapServer) and Dane Springmeyer 
(for Mapnik) put into the benchmarking game, effectively exchanging 
hints and tricks to help boost the performance of each other's 
(competing) software. That's open source at its best.

 for me a way to support the activity that he and his fellow Greek OSGeo

I second Angelos' nomination for all the reasons expressed by Cameron and

I second Andrea's nomination too. Having worked closely with him on
the GeoTools and GeoServer projects for the last seven years or so,
and truly believe neither project would be what they are without
Andrea's continued commitment.

I would like to join Cameron in this nomination.
I met Angelos in Athens a few weeks ago and we had a long conversation, 
that gave me an opportunity to learn more about the B-side of his 
outstanding contribution to OSGeo (the A-side being software 
development, translations and OSGeo Live): the Greek OSGeo community. As 
I made already clear a few days ago, I believe it is very important to 
facilitate the growth of new, strong communities where they are still 
missing. In a way, nominating Angelos is for me a way to support the 
activity that he and his fellow Greek OSGeo members are already carrying 
on, showing that OSGeo cares globally about local initiatives as much as 
the local communities care about global developments (again, software).
Finally, Angelos was among the first ones to show an interest in Total 
Open Station, the software I develop with others. Far from being led by 
personal excitement, I see this interest towards the world of surveying 
as a first step towards one of the most promising developments OSGeo may 
and should achieve, namely being able to provide a complete software 
(and hardware?) stack for surveying.


Thank you all for reading this e-mail. Ciao

For the last few OSGeo-Live releases, Angelos has taken responsibility 
for the OSGeo-Live build , then tested every application, and then 
worked with projects to help get them working on OSGeo-Live. He also 
contributes to a number of OSGeo projects, leads Greek OSGeo 
translations, and has presented on OSGeo topics at numerous conferences.


As per his OSGeo Advocate profile [1]:

/Angelos is a remote sensing expert with background in surveying 
engineering and software development. He is involved in numerous 
activities around free and open source software and has great experience 
in geospatial applications. His research involves object-based image 
analysis, machine learning, computer vision and remote sensing. He is an 
active advocate of OSGeo in Greece at related conferences/ ...

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member Nomination for Bob Basques [acceptence of nomination]

2011-11-21 Thread Bob Basques

All, 

I would like to thank Steve L. for his nomination and trust in me
related to OSGEO and other topics that we've worked together on in the
past.  Steve is in large part responsible for my interest in Open Source
alternatives that began with the use of MapServer in the early 90's. 

I've never really thought about being recognized officially other than
possibly wanting to vote on some interesting OSGEO issues here and there
over the years.  While I tried to attend the first OSGEO birthing
meeting, I ended up watching the process from the sidelines.  I seem to
have gotten my views on things out there never the less during my
participation on the (OSGEO) lists (I'm on nine of them right now), I
should also mention that I'm also on a few other open source lists that
are not specifically Geo related, and that I work in the area of
application usability.   

My main interest is in making the complicated tasks easier to
accomplish, for the ordinary user, primarily with Open Source tools
where feasible.  I also work with software and hardware in combination
to build information systems from the ground up, while others projects
are just intended as improvements to existing systems. 

My varied background in hardware and Geo related processes is
extensive, and it's in this cross pollination of ideas and open source
projects that I think makes me a valuable asset to OSGEO. 

NOTE: I don't know that the following is pertinent or related to this
response, but I include it because I would like to see a similar list
from others about their interests / uses of OS software. Additionally, a
area of general expertise might be nice.  Things like I'm interested in
promoting the US National Grid (USNG) for example. 

OpenSource background: 

Fluent in: MapServer and Mapfiles, GeoMoose, Perl, Shell scripts,
AutoCAD (FDO, WMS, WFS), Oracle Spatial 

Somewhat Fluent in: GDAL/OGR, QGIS, Open Layers, MapScript, Apache,
KML, JSON, POSTGIS, MySQL, WebDAV, Ubuntu (LiveDVD) 

Have used: MSQL, Nagios, Drupal, Plone, X3D 

Experimenting(ed) with: LAMP, QGGIS (portable - Android), Portable
GeoMoose Stack (Apache, GeoMoose, PostGIS, Openlayers), Pano3D, 3dPDF,
GeoPDF, Android OS

founder of the GeoMOOSE project (geomoose.org ( http://www.geomoose.org

projects such as MapServer and Open Layers. 
   
Bob has been a frequent contributor in local (Twin Cities MapServer

Most importantly, Bob’s an idea guy, someone that every organization

to solve day-to-day business needs. Those ideas have had an impact not
only the software he has developed, but also the software he makes use

In short, I think Bob would be value addition to the OSGeo charter

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member Nomination: Stephen Woodbridge

2011-11-21 Thread Stephen Woodbridge

Hi All,

Many thanks to Dan Putler and Daniel Kastl for their nomination of me.

I have been passionately involved in programming and algorithms since I 
was 14 when I took a summer course in Fortran II at Swathmore College. 
Yes, I am that old! :) I have been involved in development as a 
programmer, manager, QA manager, project manager, marketing manager, but 
10 years ago I got tired of corporate life and went back to programming 
and consulting on my own. At that time, I wrote my own prototype 
mapserver and then I ran into Mapserver. I decide it made more sense 
work with it and found the world of OpenSource. From mapserver, I have 
spread into working with many of the OSGeo projects and many of the not 
yet big enough for incubation projects.


I am on the PSC for Mapserver, PAGC, and pgRouting and actively involved 
with using other projects like mod_geocache (now mapcache), OpenLayers, 
PostGIS, and GDAL/OGR. I also have been a Google Summer of Code Mentor 
for the last three years for pgRouting projects. I try to bring a few 
things to each of the communities that I interact with:


1. I try to help users by answering questions and being constructive, 
with the intent that if I can answer it then that frees up the more 
important staff to focus on programing and other project activities.


2. My many years of corporate life taught me much about the software 
development process and more importantly that projects have products and 
users and we need to think about them when we make decisions in a 
project. I try to be a user advocate.


3. As a user of these projects, I am constantly trying to make them 
better and easier to use. So I report bugs, encourage others to report 
bugs, recommend enhancements, provide use cases, and occasionally 
provide patches, answer other use questions, etc.


I am passionate about all the products I use, I advocate them to my 
clients and recommend they fund development projects when they have 
needs. I like to share my enthusiasm and ideas with others.


The bottom line for me is that I would be honored to be elected as a 
charter member, but regardless of that, I enjoy doing what I'm doing, I 
love solving problems and helping our community grow. I am interested in 
being able to do more for OSGeo.


We have a great slate of candidates and I know many of them and they 
would all be great additions to the OSGeo ranks in my opinion.


Thank you and best regards,
  -Steve Woodbridge

 Nothing against Martin's nomination, but I wanted to point out the fact
 that it is not a requirement to be a charter member to participate on
 any of OSGeo's committees AFAIK.

Good point. Let's reiterate, just to make sure: Everybody is free to
participate anywhere in OSGeo. This includes committee work, conference
organization, Web site, Marketing, founding Local Chapters, managing
OSGeo presence at events and so on. This is where the real life happens.
And if you are chair of a committee (meaning that you were elected by
peers because of your good work ) you automatically become a vice
president of OSGeo.
http://www.osgeo.org/content/foundation/board_and_officers.html

OSGeo Charter Members only nominate and elect the board of directors.
This happens once a year. In the rare case that OSGeo needs to change
it's bylaws we also need to go through he Charter Membership. This is
not to belittle the Charter Membership but just to make sure that this
is not a barrier to any activity in OSGeo.

Cheers,
Arnulf

 I?m probably not the best person to introduce Tim, but here goes. I know
 Tim mostly as Developer, Project Steering Committee member and project
 co-administrator of Quantum GIS, from his educational materials (Gentle
 Introduction to GIS excellent videos come to mind), great blog posts,
 active community building activities, and using open source in his
 projects. I think Tim is one of the main promoters of open source gis
 today.
 
  
 
 I think he is based in South Africa, so the plea to diversify charter
 members geographically is also catered for.
 
  
 
 Best regards,

I wholeheartedly support this nomination (even although Tim is white,
male and about my age and thus a best fit for what we already have in
the charter membership... :-) He will be a great bridge to Africa.

Best regards,
Arnulf

I had to recheck  because I was sure that he must already be a Charter

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member Nomination: Maning Sambale

2011-11-09 Thread Gérald Fenoy
Dear Arnulf,
one more time I would like to thank you for this really good choice.

I get the honor to met Maning and listen his presentation in Tokyo this year,
during the talk I was impressed by his huge knowledge in many OSGeo technologies
and the way he used it.

I also think that he is really representative of OSGeo, indeed it is really a 
nice guy 
to speak with which is open to new ideas and get many interesting ideas he is 
open to 
share with other. I would like to say Open Mind :)

It is also really nice to see how he use OSGeo technologies in different way 
that 
lot of us are using it as he work in Philippines where network is not always 
available.

So I strongly recommend Maning Sambale to be elected as an OSGeo Charter Member
as he deserves to be not only for promoting but also using massively OSGeo 
software
to provide solutions for his country.

Arnulf,
this is really good idea !

Thanks a lot for this nomination.

I had the pleasure to meet Sanghee Shin this week at FOSS4G Japan in Tokyo

promote

Hence, I am pleased to second this nomination.

 Folks,
 I have the pleasure of nominating Mr. Sanghee Shin [1] [2] from Korea as
 new OSGeo Charter Member.
 
 Sanghee has come a long way with Open Source, first using GRASS during
 his studies, later coming back to image processing and now using,
 promoting and developing it in his own company. He is founding member of
 the OSGeo Korean Local Chapter [3] [4] a  prominent organization with
 180 registered members (10-2011) and a lively community [5]. This year
 the Local Chapter presentes OSGeo with a booth at SmartKorea 2011 [6],
 the  Korean trade fair for geospatial software, data and surveying.
 Booth space and equipment was kindly provided by Mr. Shin's company
 GRIDA [7].
 
 This fall the OSGeo Local Chapter of Korea organized their first FOSS4G
 Local Chapter event [2] in Seoul, again under the lead of Sanghee.
 Mori-san, Yoshida-san from the FOSS4G Japan Local Chapter Chapter and
 myself were invited to give keynote presentations at the event with
 about 60 attendees and a dozen presentations about software, business
 models and use cases.
 
 Mr. Shin will be a great addition to the Charter Membership, invigorate
 our Asian connection and help to spread word and raise interest in our
 next FOSS4G in Beijing which is more or less just around the corner (at
 least seen from here...).
