 Dear All

 I would like to nominate Gérald FENOY for the OSGeo Board of
 Directors elections.

 Gérald is promoting, using and developing FOSS4G with passion
 since 2004. He has a very global and generic vision of both the
 Foundation activities and its software projects.
 Gérald has a keen interest in technical innovation which he
 manages to leverage for both community and business related issues.

 Gérald is committed to Open Source and is very willing to help the
 OSGeo projects grow. As an example, he frequently funds OSGeo
 developers to add enhancements to their software, for using in his
 personal projects or those from GeoLabs, his geospatial consulting
 company based in France (http://geolabs.fr).

 Gérald co-founded the ZOO-Project (http://zoo-project.org) WPS
 plateform back in 2008, is PSC chair and main developer of this
 innovative and incubating OSGeo project. He also contributed to
 several projects through the years including GDAL/OGR, MapServer
 and PostGIS, with patches, translations, ideas and more.

 Gérald is also a regular at the FOSS4G conference since 2006,
 where he often gives workshops and talks. He also participated and
 helped many times in several local chapters in Europe, Asia and
 Africa.

 Gérald collaborates passionately with many Universities both in
 Europe and in Asia.

 Gérald will be a great addition to the OSGeo Board of Directors. He
 brings a wealth of experience and knowledge, regarding both coding
 and open source good practices, but also about international
 collaborations and community management.

 More info on Gérald:

 Many thanks and best regards to All of You.

[Fernando González]

I support Jorge nomination. I had the pleasure of working together with
Jorge in some local geo-activities in Valencia and he really pushed us
forward. He's very active, collaborative and passionate.

Best.

Let me also second Gérald's nomination. His worldwide perspective and
long time professional experience with open source geospatial software
is extremely valuable.
I met Gérald many times at FOSS4G events and every time we had
eye-opening discussions about OSGeo. I really hope to see him among
Board members.

[OSGeo-Discuss] FW: Nomination for the OSGeo Board Election

[Edwards, Ian]

Hi Jakob - thank you for taking on this task in Arnulf's absence

I sent some thoughts to the discuss list yesterday, below is a slightly 
modified version for use on the nomination wiki. ..

Ian

 



OSGeo has been a major part of my life for many years - I'm very pleased to be 
considered for the board and to receive such enthusiastic support.

Over the past eight months I've made significant changes to accommodate my 
volunteering on the FOSS4G 2013 organising committee.  I'm honoured to be a 
part of an excellent conference team and as chair of OSGeo UK, I looking 
forward to welcoming many of you to the UK next month.

After FOSS4G I have the opportunity to make use of the substantial space in my 
life (that has been created during the conference preparations) to continue to 
serve OSGeo as a member of the board.

We all acknowledge the fundamental importance of FOSS4G, and of course the 
vital work undertaken on OSGeo projects. In addition to this, on a day-to-day 
basis, I feel that WebCom is the foundation's front-line, expected to deliver 
both robust services whilst also being looked to for innovation on how we 
present ourselves to the world. I believe that this is the place where core 
progress is most likely to be realised following the successful conclusion of 
the long and hard work that has been needed to confirm our tax status. I'm 
therefore committed to continue providing technical expertise and leadership in 
the WebCom team.  I think it is absolutely vital that projects continue to be 
well represented at board level, but over the next two years I feel that a 
strong commitment of time from a member who is focused on the administration 
and progress of foundation itself is vitally important to our future.  All 
organisations need to continuously reinvent and improve themselves in today's 
world to continuously earn their place at the top of their game.  OSGeo itself 
is not safe just because our open source projects are simply awesome!

I share Bart's belief that we may have the opportunity to move some areas of 
our infrastructure to services, like github, that offer excellent service 
levels for open source projects.  This would reduce our administrative 
overheads, whilst allowing us to focus on important issues including 
sponsorship and promotion.

I agree completely with OSGeo's aim to maximise the availability of funding for 
direct use by projects. I'm also aware that this needs to be carefully balanced 
with ensuring that we promote ourselves effectively to ensure that we gain 
additional robust streams of income. Having worked closely with both OGC and 
OSGeo, whilst in government, business and academia, I see one of our greatest 
strengths as being that an individual without vast financial means can 
contribute at any level , whether on a project, as a charter member, the board, 
or as our President.  We are not always able to adequately recognise the 
massive commitment of time and personal finance that this takes.

I am very fortunate to have the support of a large organisation that 
understands the immense value of OSGeo's work, and therefore I have little need 
to rely on OSGeo or my own personal funding. But for others, who are recognised 
as having a significant contribution to offer, I believe that finding ways to 
offer a basic lifeline, when appropriate to help us achieve our objectives, is 
essential.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board nomination: Jorge Sanz

[Oscar Fonts]

I totally support Jorge's nomination.

He is a restless spanish speaking OSGeo advocate, always contributing and
persuading us to participate in virtually any initiative I can think of.

Intellectually eager, with a sound GFOSS ecosystem knowledge and excellent
human qualities, he would surely be a valuable OSGeo board member.

Oscar.
