Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nomination for OSGeo Board: Marc Vloemans

[Jeroen Ticheler]

I also second the nomination of Marc! I know Marc for almost ten years now and 
he has always been pushing open source geospatial software with great 
enthusiasm and energy. Especially in The Netherlands, but in the last years 
also more and more at an international level. It is great to see him stand for 
election to the osgeo board now and I'm convinced he'll bring lots of new ideas 
and energy with him. With his  business and marketing background he could well 
be the person to give open source geospatial software an extra boost as a solid 
commercial alternative to proprietary software. 
Cheers,
Jeroen

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nomination for OSGeo Board: Marc Vloemans

[till . adams]

+1 from me for Marc Vloemans too

I know, that Marc thinks different - which gives us the chance, to 
involve new faces into an even improved strategy of OSGeo.

 Forwarded Message 

I would like to nominate Marc Vloemans for the Board of Directors of 
the

OSGeo.org foundation.

I know Marc now for approximately 10 years. The first years simply 
as
fellow-Dutchmen working in spatial IT in The Netherlands. But since 
Marc
joined the Board of Directors of the Dutch Local Chapter "OSgeo.nl" 
in 2015,
and since we both were members of the Local Organizing Committee of 
FOSS4G
in Bonn this year, I have worked with Marc more closely than ever 
before.


I guess a  lot of you (the participants of FOSS4G) can't have missed 
Marc
since he was the central person in manning the OSGeo.org booth at 
FOSS4G.


He has a broad management experience in "spreading the open source 
word" in
both commercial and public organizations, not just in Europe but 
also in
other continents. But his organizational experience is not tied to 
just our

well-known FOSS4G ecosystem.

Therefore I think Marc can build bridges to other organisations and
ecosystems, and thus bring OSgeo.org a step further in its maturity.

And besides that, I know Marc as someone you can have a good 
beer/talk &

laugh with!
