[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Board Nomination for Nicolas Bozon (re-send)

[sittichai choosumrong]

Hi all,


I would like to express my strong support for

the candidature of Nicolas Bozon (Nick) for the upcoming

board election.

Apart from being multi-talented (designer, developer,

documenter user), I found him to be very approachable. What struck

was his patience, lucid talking and logical approach in explaining

technical and non-technical issues to me when I was new to the

OSGeo community.


Nick would be a great asset to the OSGeo board and his special talents

in design, marketing and branding can greatly help in further accelerating

the growth of OSGeo.


Best regards,

Sittichai (Bomp)

[OSGeo-Discuss] FedGeoDay 2016 program announced

[Andrea Ross]

Dear All,

(x-posted to LocationTech and OSGeo lists, please feel free to fwd to 
any who might be interested)


FedGeoDay 2016  is on October 13th this 
year. The program was just announced, and it looks very strong indeed. 
It features speakers from a number of U.S. Government agencies, and top 
talent from a number of leading organizations.


It is a low-cost, high value event. Additionally, for those that might 
benefit from it, FedGeoDay has a generous scholarship program.


If you're interested, I wrote a short blog post on why go to FedGeoDay? 
.


Kind regards, and see some of you in D.C. on October 13th!

Andrea

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nominations reminder and campaign proposal

[Jeffrey Johnson]

Im also an 'interested party' and would definitely like an extra week
to prepare answers to the simple question that Nikos proposes, but
also think its a good idea if we replicate the Candidate Manifesto
page for 2016 and all of us write something there. Jorge can you setup
the stub?

In my humble view, both as an OSGeo charter member and GRASS-GIS' CRO (recently 
experienced the
role for the new PSC election), I can only recommend to allow or even ask, in
some way, all candidates to support their candidacy publicly.

For the next GRASS-GIS' PSC election, I support what came out of a related
thread, in a post by Micha Silver (see
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/PSC/Election2016#Aftertheelection):

request (which, I know, is rather a bit strict) candidates to feedback the 
community by answering to
the very question (slightly altered)

"What should the community expect from my membership?"

Kindest regards, Nikos

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nominations reminder and campaign proposal

[Daniel Morissette]

FWIW, as a "non-interested party" which is interested in the candidates 
visions, I would support the addition of a week of campaining before the 
votes.


And I like Nikos' suggestion of starting it with every candidate 
answering the question


 "What should the community expect from my board membership?"

On the contrary, as an interested party I was expecting candidates opinion :-)

Hi Maxi

Sending it to this list will be more effective. For reference, last
year manifestos are here

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2015_Candidate_Manifestos

I recommend following the same schema, nicely proposed by Steven
Feldman at that time IIRC.

I can always put them all together on a wiki page like that one so
charter members can review it before voting.

dear Jorge,
I remember this was done also for past elections.
It is not mandatory of course, but i agree it should be nice to have this
short paragraph that allows for a presentation and a vision ;-)

Maybe we could have a dedicated wiki page for that?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nominations reminder and campaign proposal

[Nikos Alexandris]

Jorge Sanz:


Dear OSGeo community and charter members

This is a reminder that there's still some days for nominations to the
Board of Directors elections. We have already nine great candidates,
including all the present Board members running for re-election. Take
a look at [1] for an overview of the nominations and support
expressions. Maybe there's a candidate that is worth your support or
someone special that you think should run to join our Board?

The other point of this email is to follow up with Gert-Jan
proposal[2] to put a week between the nominations period and the
actual voting to let candidates to express their intentions for their
term.

I'm inclined to accept it because I think is a good idea and no one
has opposed but also because next week I'll be out of the office for
the GEOSTAT course first here in Spain (20/21) and SoTM in Brussels
(22/26) later and I'll be pretty busy.

What do you think? Looking forward for your opinions.


In my humble view, both as an OSGeo charter member and GRASS-GIS' CRO (recently 
experienced the
role for the new PSC election), I can only recommend to allow or even ask, in
some way, all candidates to support their candidacy publicly.

For the next GRASS-GIS' PSC election, I support what came out of a related
thread, in a post by Micha Silver (see
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/PSC/Election2016#Aftertheelection):

request (which, I know, is rather a bit strict) candidates to feedback the 
community by answering to
the very question (slightly altered)

"What should the community expect from my membership?"

Kindest regards, Nikos



All the best
Jorge
