Forwarding Alvin Natividad nomination by Perry Nacionales.
Best regards, Vasile -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Nomination for Alvin Natividad Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2015 08:39:54 -0500 From: Perry Nacionales <pnaci...@gmail.com> To: OSGeo CRO <c...@osgeo.org> Dear CRO, Name: Alvin Natividad Country: Philippines Contact E-Mail: alvi...@gmail.com I would like to nominate Alvin Natividad for OSGeo charter membership. Alvin is a civil engineer and an educator in Palawan, Philippines who actively uses and promotes the use of OSGeo software and other open source tools. One of the projects he's currently involved in with the provincial government of the Palawan is Tax mapping. He's using QGIS (and LibreCAD), having successfully dissuade the government from using the more expensive commercial alternatives. He is also currently working on profile surveys for Puerto Princesa City water district (Puerto Princesa is the capital of Palawan), and having his team work on similar surveys in other cities. In addition, he teaches GIS for Civil and Geodetic engineering students in two of the biggest universities in Palawan. He does all these using QGIS/Grass. Avin plans to conduct more training using QGIS/Grass and LibreCAD, and to create QGIS extensions using C++ and python. I believe Alvin would be a great addition to the OSGeo charter membership as he would work tirelessly to get open source GIS and software set root and grow in an otherwise remote part of this world.
