The Board has divided the above budget up according to our priority as an organization. Please keep in mind that prior boards have taken this approach - and spent nothing due to lack of volunteers willing to lead the charge. The following is budget and does not provide a commitment to spend money on the actives listed - to do that we need your commitment as a volunteer!

=== Strategic Plan 2016 ===

''From Anne'': See the parallel Skate-Boarding of Fedora at http://fedoramagazine.org/lets-talk-about-fedora-project-objectives/ - I really like the idea of having 18 months goals, that are measurable, backed up by community agreement. Let's discuss this at the first Sprint. There are also [http://www.jonobacon.org/2014/11/14/ubuntu-governance-reboot/ some thoughts on Ubuntu governance] that can inspire us, but I haven't gone through the whole discussion yet, and there are many differences between OSGeo and Ubuntu; so I'm not sure on how much we can learn from it.

This section outlines OSGeo strategic plan for 2016 - this is a result of the [http://www.osgeo.org/about vision, mission and goals] established at the [[Board_Face_to_Face_Meeting_2016|2016 face to face meeting]].

Strategic objectives for 2016:

* S01: showcasing excellence in our communities
* S02: proactively engage with external partners
* S03: Fostering our mission, vision and goals
* S04: Empowering our communities and extending our reach

These objectives were taken to the community for concrete / measurable actions volunteers were interested in tackling over the course of 2016.

Update: We did not receive enough feedback to form a strategic plan.

Aghisla: Added Codrina's nomination to the Board (placeholder)

A space for the candidates for [[Election 2021|election]] to the Board to share some information about themselves, their aspirations for OSGeo, what they would like to change, improve or introduce and what role they would like to play on the board.

You are welcome to follow the template, and add further relevant info as you need:

== Adam Steer - Australian in Norway ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/steer/ OSGeo profile]) ==

=== About me ===

At work I am a polar researcher based in Tromsø, northern Norway - the latest iteration of a 'mosaic career' spanning research, research support, independent consulting, guiding, fixing bicycles and more! My geospatial training was in surveying and geomatics, applied to the frozen ocean at both ends of our planet using airborne and on-ground measurements. I also have a BSc in psychology and a multidisciplinary bachelor of Antarctic Studies. I've used open geospatial tools across research, business, and just making maps for fun. As part of my open geospatial software life I have worked hard to generate a culture of giving back, for example if we build a business tool based on open software, improvments are shared with the community (rather than branched into 'business specific' tools).

At home I am an adventurer at heart and parent to two boys. In general I would like to spend a lot more time getting lost in the mountains!

=== My vision ===

I want to help maintain a community which goes out of its way to let people in, and try to help members of the community become and stay engaged. More or less ask 'how can we help?' - and more importantly, 'how can we help without becoming just another overhead in your life?'. We live in interesting times and face a lot of challenges which we can't really predict well or prepare for. So my vision is to help this community in uncertain times, maybe think more about sustainability than growth.

=== What you have done within the community in the past ===

* FOSS4G international attendee / speaker / workshop presenter in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
* part of the team which restarted FOSS4G conferences in 2018 with FOSS4G SotM Oceania
* part of the team founding OSGeo Oceania, founding director and member
* elected director of OSGeo Oceania
* small contributions to PDAL, OpenDroneMap
* advocate for open source tools and open mindsets in research, business and government
* charter member of OSGeo since 2018

=== What your interests are in terms of the board ===

In line with my vision - work to maintain a community which goes out of their way to let people in, and work on ways to help the community stay sustainable in terms of volunteer effort, financial support, and its environmental and ethical viewpoints.

=== Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===

I want to get a better sense of OSGeo overall before suggesting changes. I would like to keep guiding OSGeo along paths toward inclusivity and environmental responsibility, but that isn't really new - there is plenty of precedent there.

=== What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===

I feel at this point being an ordinary board member is the best fit. I have a lot to learn!

== Vicky Vergara, Mexico ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/osgeo-profile/vicky-vergara/ OSGeo profile]) ==

=== About me ===

I haven't changed much from the last times I wrote a manifesto ([https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2019_Candidate_Manifestos#About_me_5 2019]) ([https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2017_Candidate_Manifestos#About_me 2017])

I remember the time in 5th grade that I was in Cleveland, Ohio.
But around a month after me arriving we were asked to make an essay of were we lived, And here is what is what I remember of it.

I live at a house. 
A house is on a road. I live in that road. 
A house is on a road on a city, I live on that city. 
A house is on a road on a city on a municipality, I live on that municipality. 
A house is on a road on a city on a municipality on a state, I live on that state. 
A house is on a road on a city on a municipality on a state on a country, I live on that country. 
A house is on a road on a city on a municipality on a state on a country on a continent, I live on that continent. 
A house is on a road on a city on a municipality on a state on a country on a continent on a world, I live on that world. 
A house is on a road on a city on a municipality on a state on a country on a continent on a world on a solar system, I live on that solar system. 
A house is on a road on a city on a municipality on a state on a country on a continent on a world on a solar system on a galaxy, I live on that galaxy. 
A house is on a road on a city on a municipality on a state on a country on a continent on a world on a solar system on a galaxy on the universe, I live on that universe. 

The only change from the 9 year old me and the now me is, I would only add at the end of each sentence "and I like to take care of it"

=== My vision ===

So this time I decided to transcribe a poem from Fernando Pessoa, "A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems". I think it shows my vision.

"'''VII''' 
From my village I see as much of the universe as can be seen 
from the earth, 
And so my village is as large as any town, 
For I am the size of what I see 
And not the size of my height . . . 

In the cities life is smaller 
Than here in my house on top of this hill. 
The big buildings of cities lock up the view, 
They hide the horizon, pulling our gaze far away from the 
open sky. 
They make us small, for they take away all the vastness our 
eyes can see, 
And they make us poor, for our only wealth is seeing."

=== What you have done within the community in the past ===

I am still on pgRouting and OSGeoLive, but now I am also on MobilityDB.
I am still at the System administration committee (SAC) mainly taking care of mails and the website.
I haven't stopped been a mentor on OSGeo-GSoc program but recently I also participated on the UN-challenge as a mentor.
I started to attend the monthly UN-GIS meetings.

=== What your interests are in terms of the board ===

# In general: promote the use and development of Free and Open Source Software
# In particular: promote the use and development of the OSGeo projects, OSGeo incubation and OSGeo community Free Open Source Software.
# In detail: Give people (GIS) tools for making a living.

=== Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===

As a member of the board, the first thing is not what I want to change or introduce, is what the community wants.
I feel that our task is to listen to ideas, objectives, reasons and make things happen.

=== What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===

I would like to remain as the vice-president in the Latin America Area.

== Tina Cormier, United States ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/cormier/ OSGeo profile]) ==

=== About me ===

I am a remote sensing data scientist with over 15 years in the industry. I have dedicated my career to using EO and AI to advance our collective understanding of and facilitate decision-making on impactful environmental and societal issues. Open source software is central to the work that I do, and as a small token of my gratitude, I take every opportunity I can to evangelize open source software, data, standards, and science. Sharing my open source experience has always been a part of my work; I have taught workshops in countries all over the world, from Peru to Nepal, as well as in my home country, the USA. Workshop topics have ranged from programming in R and using QGIS, to processing lidar with open source tools.

I was first introduced to open source while working at the Woods Hole Research Center (now the Woodwell Climate Research Center) and shortly after that, I attended my first FOSS4GNA conference - the rest is history! My favorite FOSS4G was Boston, where I gave 4 talks and taught a workshop - tiring, but so worth it!

If elected, I look forward to giving back to the community upon whose shoulders I have built my career. I would continue to promote open source, but through more official channels, and I would support the foundation however else I could. I am also excited to reach out to my networks in both the private and non-profit sectors to garner support (financial and code contributions) for OSGeo and the important work it does.

Open Source favorites (OSGeo projects and beyond): QGIS, Postgres/PostGIS, R (my first language!), Python

On the personal side: I am originally from Massachusetts and now live in Midcoast Maine where my husband and I are building a small farm. We have bees, horses, dogs, and cats, and each spring we tap our maple trees for syrup - these critters and activities provide a nice contrast to our busy work lives in tech.

=== My vision ===

My vision is that OSGeo remains a strong, important, inclusive, and reliable player in the tech space, providing FOSS4G users and developers with information, support, opportunity, and community.

=== What you have done within the community in the past ===

* FOSS4G 2021 Argentina Local Organizing Committee Volunteer - general call for papers team
* OSGeo Charter Member since 2017
* Speaker and Workshop Instructor at multiple FOSS4G conferences
* Active in OSGeo US - most recently, was a member of the US Chapter leadership conference steering committee
* Active FOSS evangelist and communicator even outside of FOSS4G conferences - frequent talks at other conferences and to various groups (e.g., Harvard Center for Geographic Analysis, University of Maryland Geographical Sciences Seminar, Maptime Cape Cod, Maptime Maine, RStudio etc.)

=== What your interests are in terms of the board ===

My interest in joining the OSGeo board is mainly to serve as a voice for the free and open source community. As a user of open source software and tools, I don’t typically contribute code, but what I can do is foster awareness, adoption, and participation within the geospatial community. I would also serve as a voice of the user within the board, bringing the perspective of the typical user successes and challenges.

I can be most impactful within the private and non-profit sectors, where I have years of experience and professional networks. There are a few other areas where I’d be excited to contribute as well: educational initiatives, partnerships with other open source software projects, and bringing FOSS to under-served communities.

=== Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===

If elected, I’d like to spend my first few months getting acquainted with the board and understanding the Foundation on a deeper level before proposing any changes. One area where I’d like to help, though, is in continuing to expand upon the good work happening between OSGeo and other open source projects - we are all on the same team and are stronger together.

=== What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===

I would be open to discussing how my skills might be best put to use to help the board.

== Rajat Shinde, India ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/shinde/ OSGeo profile]) ==

=== About me ===

My name is Rajat (meaning ''shining like Silver'' in Hindi). I hail from India and Currently, I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Geo-informatics and a recipient of the Prime Minister's Research Fellowship conferred by the Government of India to selected doctoral students in India. Before diving into the spatial dimension, I used to be an Electronics and Communication Engineer.

My journey with open-source (and OSGeo) started in 2017 when I got to attend and present at the FOSS4G Asia 2017. In the same year, I got an amazing experience in contributing to the MapMint project as a Google Summer of Code Student. From 2018 and onwards, I am trying my best to be a GSoC co-mentor and work alongside new developers for the MapMint project. Additionally, I am fortunate to be a part of the OSGeo GSoC Administration team and recently, I got elected as a Project Steering Committee (PSC) Member for the ZOO-Project (read: star_eyes). Also, I was one of the mentors for the United Nations OSGeo Education Challenge 2021 for the pgRouting project. I am also actively involved in the development of the pgRouting workshop with the pgRouting community and it is always a great learning experience.

From where I started in 2017 when I look back, I feel proud of myself to be able to contribute something back. But more than that, I feel proud of being a part of this OSGeo community; of knowing great personalities, and working with them.

When I am not in front of my laptop, I love to play the flute and read books. (I am also exploring my cooking skills these days. :P)

[http://home.iitb.ac.in/~rajatshinde More details]

=== My vision ===

My vision is to spread the knowledge of open geospatial research and software to the next level. We all are aware of the significance of location intelligence in the current world. Personally, I feel that immense opportunities lie in using spatial data in the real world. With the power to use existing open geospatial software and tools, a lot of problems can be addressed at a granular level. Additionally, it would be my great pleasure to see new members contributing back to the society (open-source community), learning and rising step-by-step to achieve their dreams.

=== What you have done within the community in the past ===

I have a short experience participating in diverse positions while being a part of the OSGeo community. A brief description is as follows:

* FOSS4G 2021 Session Leader, FOSS4G Asia Workshop Contributor and Speaker
* OSGeo-OGC-ASF Joint Code Sprint Participant
* Project Steering Committee (PSC) Member for the ZOO-Project
* Mentor for the United Nations OSGeo Education Challenge 2021 - pgRouting Track (Attending the UN OpenGIS and UN GeoAI WG Meetings)
* Charter Member since 2017
* Google Summer of Code 2020-onwards: Organization Administrator
* Google Summer of Code 2018-onwards: Mentor
* Google Summer of Code 2017: Student Developer
* Google Code-in 2019: Mentor

I am also an academic manuscript reviewer for the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) and I review manuscripts in the domain of geospatial and geoscience research and software.

=== What your interests are in terms of the board ===

My primary interest is in learning and propagating the experiences to the best of my capability to the new members. Also, to encourage new members to join the community and make their contributions to the OSGeo community projects with OSGeo’s initiatives like Google Summer of Code with OSGeo.

=== Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===

I would always strive to support new members of the community just as the way I was supported, and I feel being capable of doing that is more important for me than proposing any change.

=== What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===

I am open to any role based on the requirements of the board. I have a lot to learn! :)

== Marco Bernasocchi, Switzerland ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/bernasocchi/ OSGeo profile]) ==

=== About me ===
I am an open-source advocate, consultant, teacher, and developer. My background is in geography with a specialization in geographic information science. I live in Switzerland in a small Romansh speaking mountain village where I love scrambling around the mountains to enjoy the feeling of freedom it gives me. I’m a very communicative person, I fluently speak Italian, German, French English, and Spanish and love travelling. I'm the QGIS.org Chair and work as CEO of OPENGIS.ch which I founded in 2011. Since 2014 I share the company ownership with Matthias Kuhn. At OPENGIS.ch LLC we develop, train and consult our client on any aspect related to QGIS, QField, PostGIS and WebGIS technologies.

I first came in contact with the OSGEO world during my BSc when the University of Zurich was teaching us proprietary products and I started looking around for Open Source alternatives and started using QuantumGIS “Simon (0.6)”. In 2008, when starting my MSc, I made the definitive switch to Ubuntu and I started working more and more with QuantumGIS Metis (0.11) and ended developing some plugins and part of Globe as my Masters' thesis.

Since then my whole work has pivoted around QGIS and enabling people and companies to embrace opensource for their GIS needs.

=== My vision ===
Serving as a pragmatic community conciliator - collecting thoughts from people with differing opinions and trying to find the high road through difficult issues I want to focus my and the community's energies on being inclusive and forward-thinking.

I see FOSS as a very socially responsible way to develop software, but even more, I see the immense technological advantage that writing open-source code brings. This is why I always strive to allow both pragmatic and ideological views to respectfully coexist and enrich each other.

=== What you have done within the community in the past ===
* QGIS contributor since 2011
* QGIS.org Chair since 2020
* QGIS.org Vice-Chair 2018-2020
* QField (originally QGIS for android) creator
* FOSS4G Session Leader, various FOSS4G Talks and workshops
* Charter Member since 2018
* Google Summer of Code 2012: Mentor
* Google Summer of Code 2011: Student Developer

=== What your interests are in terms of the board ===

One of my main motivations to be part of the board is to help OSGeo keep its incredible growth rate by being even more attractive to new community members, sponsors and large/corporate users. To achieve this, to me the key is maintaining the right balance between sustainable processes and helping interesting and motivating grassroots projects.

=== Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===
As still fairly technical driven person, I like to understand the inner workings of things and projects before commenting on changes :)

=== What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any) ===
I am open to any role based on how I could best serve the board.

| India
| ''Nomination statement from Astrid Emde:''
I would like to nominate Rajat Shinde for a position in the OSGeo Board
of Directors.

Rajat is connected to OSGeo since many years now. He started his OSGeo connection as a student for Google Summer of Code in 2017 for the MapMint project. Then he proceeded as a mentor for GSOC. And in 2020 and 2021 he was in the OSGeo's GSoC admin team and will proceed in 2022.

He has contributed to OSGeo software like the ZOO-Project. He actively participates in FOSS4G events and is part of OSGeo India.

He is a OSGeo Charter Member since 2017 and is very active spreading the spirit of open source geospatial to the world.

Rajat is a Masters-PhD (Dual Degree) student in Geo-informatics and a Prime Ministers Research Fellow (2018) working at the Geocomputational Systems and IoT Group in Centre of Studies in Resources Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (India).

''Nomination statement from Vicky Vergara:''

I first met Rajat during FOSS4G Asia in 2017. His first approach to me was looking for advice to participate in GSoC as a student.

He indeed applied to pgRouting GSoC participation, That was a difficult year, many good applications and I wanted them all, which was not going to happen, I saw so much potential in him that I told him to apply to some other OSGeo project, first and only student applicant that I've done this. He indeed made another application and was accepted in the MapMint GSoC participation, thus allowing other students to be accepted on pgRouting. He showed flexibility, consideration and teamwork by doing this. Next year he became a mentor for MapMint on the GSoC program and has been a mentor since. From my point of view with this action, he knows that for projects to grow there is a need of recruiting more developers, and one of the options is GSoC for their growth. He became PSC of MapMint.

In 2020 he kindly accepted the position of GSoC administrator and has been doing a wonderful job. He has shown administrative skills to take this task to the success it has.

During this year, his participation in other projects has diversified. On pgRouting he started collaborating on the "pgRouting workshop". On the other hand, he started participating in the monthly UN Open GIS meetings and at 2021's UN Challenge he participated as a mentor. With this action I think he is showing an interest on how to cooperate for the well being of humanity, nature and the world in general.

In my humble opinion, since he was a "lost" student looking for advice, he has acquired the traits needed to be on the Board.

| India
| ''Nomination statement from Astrid Emde:''
I would like to nominate Rajat Shinde for a position in the OSGeo Board
of Directors.

Rajat is connected to OSGeo since many years now. He started his OSGeo connection as a student for Google Summer of Code in 2017 for the MapMint project. Then he proceeded as a mentor for GSOC. And in 2020 and 2021 he was in the OSGeo's GSoC admin team and will proceed in 2022.

He has contributed to OSGeo software like the ZOO-Project. He actively participates in FOSS4G events and is part of OSGeo India.

He is a OSGeo Charter Member since 2017 and is very active spreading the spirit of open source geospatial to the world.

Rajat is a Masters-PhD (Dual Degree) student in Geo-informatics and a Prime Ministers Research Fellow (2018) working at the Geocomputational Systems and IoT Group in Centre of Studies in Resources Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (India).

''Nomination statement from Vicky Vergara:''

I first met Rajat during FOSS4G Asia in 2017. His first approach to me was looking for advice to participate in GSoC as a student.

He indeed applied to pgRouting GSoC participation, That was a difficult year, many good applications and I wanted them all, which was not going to happen, I saw so much potential in him that I told him to apply to some other OSGeo project, first and only student applicant that I've done this. He indeed made another application and was accepted in the MapMint GSoC participation, thus allowing other students to be accepted on pgRouting. He showed flexibility, consideration and teamwork by doing this. Next year he became a mentor for MapMint on the GSoC program and has been a mentor since. From my point of view with this action, he knows that for projects to grow there is a need of recruiting more developers, and one of the options is GSoC for their growth. He became PSC of MapMint.

In 2020 he kindly accepted the position of GSoC administrator and has been doing a wonderful job. He has shown administrative skills to take this task to the success it has.

During this year, his participation in other projects has diversified. On pgRouting he started collaborating on the "pgRouting workshop". On the other hand, he started participating in the monthly UN Open GIS meetings and at 2021's UN Challenge he participated as a mentor. With this action I think he is showing an interest on how to cooperate for the well being of humanity, nature and the world in general.

In my humble opinion, since he was a "lost" student looking for advice, he has acquired the traits needed to be on the Board.

| United States of America
| Tina's passion for open source geospatial tools is evident in her work and participation in the OSGeo community. Tina is a longtime advocate, user, and educator of open source data, software, and standards and an active participant in the OSGeo community. She has been a Charter Member since 2017 and has volunteered on the FOSS4G 2021 Argentina Local Organizing Committee's general call for papers team. She is active in OSGeo US, most recently as a member of the US Chapter leadership conference steering committee. In the broader community, she frequently gives talks at conferences and to various groups (e.g. FOSS4G talks and workshops, Harvard Center for Geographic Analysis, University of Maryland Geographical Sciences Seminar, etc.) and has taught workshops internationally using all open source software and tools. Tina would be an outstanding addition to the OSGeo Board of Directors.

| [https://www.osgeo.org/member/vicky-vergara/ Vicky Vergara]
| Naucalpan, Mexico
| Vicky is an inspiring supporter of OSGeo work and helping to bring new groups of people into the OSGeo world.
She mentors every year for GSOC via pgRouting bringing in many young youth into the community.

She works heavily on the OSGeo Live project to help showcase OSGeo projects.

She is a women in code supporter. Most recently she was involved in AnitaB.org Open Source Day and conference where I had the pleasure of seeing her at work, helping young women do their first contribution to open source and navigating the complexities of git.

She is multilingual - speaking Spanish, English, and Japanese to name some and embraces many cultures and brings all into the OSGeo fold to commune and learn from each other. She also talks in many conferences around the world.

She is a great role model for everyone. She is an indispensable role model for many minorities and women hoping to get into tech and elated to see a familiar looking face. Although she is brilliant she is very modest when talking about her abilities. She has a vast knowledge of C++ and Economics and an infectious smile and love for exploration which energizes all around her.

| Romania
| We would like to nominate Codrina Maria Ilie for a position in the OSGeo Board of directors.

Codrina is a very well-known member of the OSGeo community for many years. Since 2010 she has been a volunteer trainer in the Romanian geospatial community, she is a regular participant and speaker in international FOSS4G events and she has herself been one of the main organisers of FOSS4G 2019 in Bucharest. Codrina has been an OSGeo Charter Member since 2013 and she is a strong advocate for FOSS4G. As a member of the OSGeo Board in the last two years, she has shown an incredible passion, motivation and commitment that the next board would still very much need. In her previous mandate, she has also very well represented OSGeo in the interaction and relation with other international communities such as INSPIRE and OGC.

He is a long-time contributor to QGIS (and FOSS4G in general) and a charter member of OSGeo since 2018. He has a strong passion for Open Source and I feel he would be a valuable addition to the OSGeo Board of Directors.

Tom is also a great speaker, giving perhaps the best talk at FOSS4GUK 2017 in the cartography stream, and has run FOSS4GUK workshops in the past.

In her job, Carmen is an active contributor to several Open Source Geo-projects (check out her Github profile), at least she is one of the main contributors to the OSGeo community project "actinia". In my eyes, there is no doubt, that Carmen believes in the general goals of our foundation and also is willing to continue to contribute positively towards our goals, as she already did in the past. Having Carmen as a charter member will also benefit OSGeo's diversity.''

That is where I found out that he is one of the organizers of that reunion and not only that, also that he is the founder of the QGIS users group in México. Very eager to make things happen, like for example, having international speakers in the Reunion, organizing workshops, and taking care of all the details that an event implies. The Reunion was a success, and this year he is also organizing and promoting the Second Mexican Reunion of QGIS users. This second event is the one that made me think of nominating Hennessy as he is showing a commitment to continue with this task: - he cares about the users, - he cares to spread the knowledge of open source for geospatial. Me, as a developer, I really appreciate this kind of work and caring, as the software we develop is for users to use. In my opinion his addition to the charter member of OSGeo community will enrich our organization.''

Very eager to make things happen, like for example, having international speakers in the Reunion, organizing workshops, and taking care of all the details that an event implies. The Reunion was a success, and this year he is also organizing and promoting the Second Mexican Reunion of QGIS users. This second event is the one that made me think of nominating Hennessy as he is showing a commitment to continue with this task: - he cares about the users, - he cares to spread the knowledge of open source for geospatial. Me, as a developer, I really appreciate this kind of work and caring, as the software we develop is for users to use. In my opinion his addition to the charter member of OSGeo community will enrich our organization.''

In my eyes, there is no doubt, that Carmen believes in the general goals of our foundation and also is willing to continue to contribute positively towards our goals, as she already did in the past. Having Carmen as a charter member will also benefit OSGeo's diversity.''

That is where I found out that he is one of the organizers of that reunion and not only that, also that he is the founder of the QGIS users group in México. Very eager to make things happen, like for example, having international speakers in the Reunion, organizing workshops, and taking care of all the details that an event implies. The Reunion was a success, and this year he is also organizing and promoting the Second Mexican Reunion of QGIS users. This second event is the one that made me think of nominating Hennessy as he is showing a commitment to continue with this task: - he cares about the users, - he cares to spread the knowledge of open source for geospatial. Me, as a developer, I really appreciate this kind of work and caring, as the software we develop is for users to use. In my opinion his addition to the charter member of OSGeo community will enrich our organization.''

| Italy
| ''Julia is a strong advocate of open geospatial data and open-source geospatial technologies, and a strong believer that data standards and FOSS4G are vital building blocks to build bridges between different user communities. Julia has played a huge role in raising awareness about open geospatial software in the meteorological / climate communities. She regularly engages with user communities, as a key organiser of the OpenDataHack @ECMWF and current coordinator the ECMWF Summer of Weather Code - an online coding programme that promotes the development of weather-related open-source software. She is also the co-founder of Women in Geospatial, a rapidly growing network that aims to increase diversity at geo events and the geospatial community in general. I’ve known Julia for some years now through working on OGC standards, open geospatial software and petascale data collections. I believe she supports the goals of OSGeo and will be a fantastic asset to the organisation for many years.''

That is where I found out that he is one of the organizers of that reunion and not only that, also that he is the founder of the QGIS users group in México. Very eager to make things happen, like for example, having international speakers in the Reunion, organizing workshops, and taking care of all the details that an event implies. The Reunion was a success, and this year he is also organizing and promoting the Second Mexican Reunion of QGIS users. This second event is the one that made me think of nominating Hennessy as he is showing a commitment to continue with this task: - he cares about the users, - he cares to spread the knowledge of open source for geospatial. Me, as a developer, I really appreciate this kind of work and caring, as the software we develop is for users to use. In my opinion his addition to the charter member of OSGeo community will enrich our organization.''

| Ionuț Ungurianu
| Romania
| ''Ionuț is working as a Sr. GIS Consultant for a Romanian company active in the field of telecommunications, cadaster and remote sensing. Ionuț is a co-founder of the NGO Timisoara GIS Community (https://www.gistm.ro/), where he serves as President. The NGO tries to promote open source GIS solutions though local projects or by providing mostly QGIS trainings. At FOSS4G2019, during the OSGeo Community Sprint Ionuț became a contributor to the OSGeoLive project as a Romanian translator. He is part of the very active Romania Local Chapter. Ionuț will be a great advocate for FOSS4G as a charter member of OSGeo especially in his local region Timișoara.''

| ''Dimitris works in the World Food Programme and he is very active in the GeoNode community. He promotes many of our projects in World Food Programme and UN. Dimitris attended the last FOSS4G, joined the OSGeoLive translation team during the code sprint and started contributing. I know Dimitris for some time now and he is really passionate about Free and Open Source Geospatial Software. I believe Dimitris would be a very good addition to our charter members list.''

| Julia Wagemann
| Italy
| ''Julia is a strong advocate of open geospatial data and open-source geospatial technologies, and a strong believer that data standards and FOSS4G are vital building blocks to build bridges between different user communities. Julia has played a huge role in raising awareness about open geospatial software in the meteorological / climate communities. She regularly engages with user communities, as a key organiser of the OpenDataHack @ECMWF and current coordinator the ECMWF Summer of Weather Code - an online coding programme that promotes the development of weather-related open-source software. She is also the co-founder of Women in Geospatial, a rapidly growing network that aims to increase diversity at geo events and the geospatial community in general. I’ve known Julia for some years now through working on OGC standards, open geospatial software and petascale data collections. I believe she supports the goals of OSGeo and will be a fantastic asset to the organisation for many years.''

| ''She's been with the Osgeo Argentina Local chapter for three years now, collaborating with everything from social media to cashier at events and to help people get involved in the community, specially students at our University just starting their careers. She represents our younger side, bringing more and more energy everyday, but also working tirelessly in any task she is presented with. She is board member and part of the founders of the Geolibres NGO, that gives a legal framework to the local chapter.''

| Hennessy A. Becerra Ayala
| Mexico
| ''I am proud to nominate Hennessy Becerra for charter member of OSGeo. I knew about Hennessy for the first time, last year during the First Mexican Reunion of QGIS users. That is where I found out that he is one of the organizers of that reunion and not only that, also that he is the founder of the QGIS users group in México. Very eager to make things happen, like for example, having international speakers in the Reunion, organizing workshops, and taking care of all the details that an event implies. The Reunion was a success, and this year he is also organizing and promoting the Second Mexican Reunion of QGIS users. This second event is the one that made me think of nominating Hennessy as he is showing a commitment to continue with this task: - he cares about the users, - he cares to spread the knowledge of open source for geospatial. Me, as a developer, I really appreciate this kind of work and caring, as the software we develop is for users to use. In my opinion his addition to the charter member of OSGeo community will enrich our organization.''
