[talk-au] [FOSS4G-Oceania] Nominations - OSGeo Oceania board election
Dear Returning Officer & OSGeo Oceania, I am happy to nominate another candidate for the OSGeo Oceania board, *Ewen Hill of Melbourne, Australia*. Ewen Hill is one of those people who contributes an enormous amount to the geospatial community while asking little in return. He has been involved in almost all geospatial events since I have been in Melbourne, and I am sure many before. Ewen is the guy who patiently shows people how to get the most out of JOSM or QGIS, working his way around the room to support anyone needing help. He's the guy that spends time putting together a map in QGIS after an OpenStreetMap event to show the results of a mapathon. He's the guy who rocks up at the venue two weeks before to make sure it has everything you need for FOSS4G SotM Oceania. I'm sure he'd bring this same selflessness and attention to detail to the board, while being a strong advocate of the open source geospatial tools we all know and love.

Re: [talk-au] [FOSS4G-Oceania] Nominations - OSGeo Oceania board election
Once nominations are completed we will have each candidate add there narrative to to the OSGeo Oceania wiki page. I, as I am sure some others, may also want to ask a set of questions to each candidate. Great to see a wide range of nominations and expect to see many more before nominations close. > On 19 Nov 2020, at 17:23, Graeme Fitzpatrick wrote: > > > Thanks, both of you! > > Could I suggest that when the nominations are finalised, that this sort of > mini-bio is listed against each candidate, so we all have some idea as to who > everybody is? > > Thanks > > Graeme > > >> On Thu, 19 Nov 2020 at 15:41, Edoardo Neerhut wrote: >> Thanks John, I like that list and great idea sharing publicly! >> >> For the record, I nominated Kamsin Raju (Nadi, Fiji) for the OSGeo Oceania >> today board so the Fiji representation is strong . >> >>> On Thu, 19 Nov 2020 at 16:21, Alex Leith wrote: >>> Thanks John >>> >>> Fantastic work in nominating these six individuals. >>> >>> And I'd like to endorse your call for folks to join up as members to vote, >>> and to nominate yourself or someone worthy to serve on the Board (with >>> their agreement!). >>> >>> Director nominations close on the 22nd, so there's still time. >>> >>> Cheers, >>> >>> Alex >>> >>> On Thu, 19 Nov 2020 at 16:03, John Bryant wrote: Hi, I've nominated a few members of the Oceania open geospatial community for election to the OSGeo Oceania board.

Thanks John, I like that list and great idea sharing publicly! For the record, I nominated Kamsin Raju (Nadi, Fiji) for the OSGeo Oceania today board so the Fiji representation is strong .
