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.

Best regards,

[OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member Candidature: Margherita Di Leo

2011-11-09 Thread Anne Ghisla
Dear all,

I'd like to nominate Margherita Di Leo, aka madi [0], as Charter Member.

Margherita is about to complete her PhD program in hydrology and for her
daily work uses and teaches geospatial open source software and
develops GRASS GIS in particular. She is an active and enthusiast
promoter of the benefits of open source over proprietary software in
research. She constantly helps university students in the installation
of OSGeo software on various platforms, and promotes OSGeo Live, even
overseas! [1].
She participated as student at the GSoC program 2011 with OSGeo/GRASS
GIS. 

She is involved in several activities to promote open source,
organizing conferences such as Linux Day within the Linux User Group,
giving talks on the topic of geospatial open source software. Since
2009 she is active member of GFOSS.it, the Italian OSGeo local chapter,
and is currently involved in the organising committee of GFOSSDAY 2011
[2, in Italian].

I believe she would be a great asset for OSGeo, as a contributor,
enthusiastic promoter as well as a further step towards fair gender
representation within OSGeo! 

best regards, 
Anne

Hi -

I thought some folks on this list might be interested in these two 
requests for information that came out recently. The first is an RFI for:


Public Access to Digital Data Resulting From Federally Funded Scientific 
Research

http://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2011/11/04/2011-28621/request-for-information-public-access-to-digital-data-resulting-from-federally-funded-scientific

and the other is:

Federally Funded Research

http://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2011/11/04/2011-28623/request-for-information-public-access-to-peer-reviewed-scholarly-publications-resulting-from

This topic might be better suited for the North America regional chapter 
but since that is still gathering momentum I am posting to the full 
discuss list.


All the best,

Ned

[OSGeo-Discuss] charter member nomination: Tim Sutton

I would like to nominate Tim Sutton.

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.
