 Forwarded Message 

It is my pleasure to nominate Dirk Frigne for the OSGeo Board elections. 
I enjoyed the opportunity to work with Dirk on the 2015 board where he 
enthusiastically applied himself to the responsibilities of the role, 
and stepped forward as a vice-president to represent OSGeo publicly.


Dirk is a long standing member of our community, making it a challenge 
to provide a summary of his contributions. I first met Dirk through the 
incubation of the Geomajas project, where he demonstrated a knowledge 
and passion for open source. Dirk is an established business 
professional who I believe founded Geosparc as an entrepreneur.  Dirk 
is instrumental in the founding of the new OSGeo Europe chapter, serving 
as the vice-president of this regional group. For more details on Dirk 
and his contributions please see the User:Dirkf 
 wiki page.


OSGeo is built on the passion of members like Dirk Frigne. Our board and 
community would benefit from his strength, dedication and leadership.

 It is my pleasure to nominate Dirk Frigne[1], from Belgium, to join
 OSGeo's Board of Directors.

 Having been involved in the Board for so long, I know what makes a
 good OSGeo Board member, and I see that in Dirk.  He has that rare
 passion and vision for community, and speaks strongly about building
 and maintaining a healthy OSGeo 'ecosystem' made up of both the
 development community as well as professional service providers.

 I had the pleasure of sitting down to dinner with Dirk way back at
 FOSS4G Cape Town in 2008, and he has since went on to form the company
 Geosparc[2], and build the OSGeo project geomajas[3] into a healthy
 community.  More recently, many community leaders pulled me aside and
 were impressed with his views on the 'membership' topic, and
 specifically his views on what are the core principles of OSGeo.

 Dirk understands the industry today, our community, the software, and
 is willing to help guide the growth of the foundation.  I feel
 strongly that he would be a wonderful addition to the OSGeo Board of
 Directors.
