All votes will be noted, but only conference committee member votes count toward decisions.<br /> # Voting will use convention of:<br /> #* +1 : For<br /> #* +0: Mildly for<br /> #* 0: Indifferent<br /> #* -0: Mildly against<br /> #* -1 : Strongly against. This is expected to be accompanied by a reason and alternative proposal.<br /> # Everyday topics will be decided by an open vote of all members in a clearly designated separate mail thread over a minimum of 2 business days with a minimum participation of 3 votes.<br /> # For major decisions, such as conference venue selection, a minimum of one week shall be allocated to try and ensure at least 50% voter participation.<br /> # The committee aims for consensus, and will specifically attempt to address all -1 votes, but will revert to a majority vote where necessary.<br /> # The result will be clearly declared afterwards.<br /> # Secret voting, when required, will use an online voting service or use an email to an independent teller appointed by CC Chair.<br /> <br /> ==FOSS4G Selection==<br /> <br /> # All Letters of Intent and subsequent proposals will be posted to the list for open comment by all. <br /> # The selection of the winning proposal is by secret vote of conference committee members.<br /> # The OSGeo Board will be requested to ratify the conference committee’s recommendation.<br /> # Any committee member who has a potential conflict of interest is expected to withdraw from voting. A member of the committee who is part of a bidding team, intends to become part of the LOC or is employed by a company playing an active part in a bid should exclude themselves from voting in the selection process. In the event of a disagreement regarding a potential conflict of interest the committee chair has the authority to make a decision.<br /> <br /> === Changes in RfP Document for 2021 ===<br /> * At least at the letters-of-intent stage there should always be a voting option of &quot;None of the above&quot;. Otherwise there's no point in having a vote if there's only one letter, also this allows for the (unlikely) event of all letters being rubbish.<br /> * Bids should be scored based on various pre-defined criterion. Current voting by the committee seems to include a &quot;where I want to go on holiday&quot; component which has no place in a process like this. This is in keeping with the &quot;openness&quot; goal of OSGeo as compared to the current Star Chamber-like voting.<br /> * Further to the above, a list of objective mandatory criterion can be specified as required. I.e. &quot;Venue must be able to host X people&quot;, &quot;must be at least Y tracks&quot;, &quot;Must be accessible via both local and national public transport&quot;, etc.<br /> <br /> ==FOSS4G Travel Grant Programme==<br /> <br /> The FOSS4G TGP was started in 2017 with funding from the OSGeo Board and a crowd funding initiative.

The chair of the most recent FOSS4G event will automatically be invited to become a member but still requires a motion and vote.<br /> # The conference committee aims to retain a chair or vice-chair from the 5 most recent global FOSS4G conferences.<br /> # The remaining membership, less than 50% of members, is open, ideally attracting chairs or LOC members from past Global or Regional FOSS4G or related conferences.<br /> # Each year, prior to releasing the Global FOSS4G RfP, the membership list shall be re-visited.<br /> ## Existing members shall be asked whether they wish to continue on the committee. If a member doesn't respond, after a number of attempts to contact them, they shall be retired.<br /> ## Interested people may be suggested, or request to be voted onto the conference committee.<br /> ## If less than 50% of membership would be past global FOSS4G chair/vice chairs, then non global FOSS4G chair/vice chair positions shall be up for re-election.<br /> ## Election of conference committee members is by secret vote by the existing conference committee and board members who are not already members of the conference committee. Voters will vote Yes/No/Abstain for each candidate.

Vicky Vergara, Mexico ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/vicky-vergara/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> I am an experimenting person, perfectionist, a test freak, and lazy. (Maybe<br /> you have not noticed the lazy part, but, I spend days, days and more days<br /> to figure out if there is a fastest/better way to do a particular task, so<br /> that when the task is done, its in seconds, instead of hours).<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> Back in 2013, I was jobless then my only way to contribute, because of the use I was making of OSGeo projects, was to become a translator on pgRouting:<br /> <br /> * July 25, 2013 [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/157#issuecomment-21562472 I offered my self as translator] of pgrouting<br /> ** Note that I was new to everything: [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/157#issuecomment-21584629 comment about my ignorance]<br /> * August 16, 2013: I was invited to contribute code to pgRouting: [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/178#issuecomment-22802017 Invitation]<br /> * August 23, 2013: My first code contribution [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/pull/185 the modifying 75 files Pull request].<br /> * July 2015:<br /> ** Version 2.1.0 released<br /> ** OSGeo-GSoC mentor for pgRouting.<br /> * September 2015: My first FOSS4G participation<br /> * September 2015: Became a Charter member<br /> * June 2017, I accepted to be part of PSC of OSGeoLive: [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeolive/2017-June/012175.html Accepting statement]<br /> * 2017 elections: I was nominated to be member of the Board of Directors, did not make it to the Board ;-)<br /> * 2018: I still can do a lot, so I volunteered to be member of the System Administration Committee (SAC)<br /> * 2018: I also volunteered for CRO, because as member of SAC and because I imagined<br /> what the CRO where doing to handle the elections, and I thought I can do a lot to facilitate that Job.<br /> * 2019: I still can do much more, I became member and co-chair of the Code of Conduct Committee.<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> <br /> '''The right to be the best one can be'''<br /> <br /> * Who am I?<br /> * What do I do?<br /> * Am I the best of what I can be?<br /> * Do I have a dream?<br /> Those are questions that we can ask to ourselves.<br /> <br /> Before I answer those questions, I think in society, everything starts with the family:<br /> * My father gladly goes with me to events (gives me some family time).<br /> * When on vacation on Paris with my mother, a brother and his wife. We met a colleague from OSGeoLive and<br /> we had a great evening. (family time mixed with OSGeo time)<br /> * One of my sons went to Argentina and volunteered on the reception desk on FOSS4G-Argentina 2017. (allows me family time)<br /> * My other son is letting us use his AZURE code on transifex for OSGeoLive and on pgRouting.<br /> * My husband, well what can I tell, he supported me a full year with my kid to study my masters, he<br /> knows that I will do what I need to do to be the best of what I can be.<br /> * My niece is doing the Spanish translations on OSGeoLive and on pgRouting and made a presentation on<br /> FOSS4G Argentina 2019 about point clouds. (more family time)<br /> <br /> I am a lucky person, my family is participating in what I do. I consider that my family <br /> is doing all what they can do, so that my ''right to be the best I can be'' is fulfilled.<br /> And my family is growing with OSGeo.<br /> <br /> Now lets answer those questions:<br /> * Who am I? I am Vicky. I was thought to be a fighter and not to give up.<br /> * What do I do? I do whatever I need to do to make this world a better place.<br /> * Am I the best of what I can be? No, as for tomorrow I want to be better than today.<br /> * Do I have a dream? I want to make this world be a better place.<br /> <br /> The best of all is that I have my family support.<br /> <br /> OSGeo, is as small part of the society, but its an international part of it.<br /> And we are part of OSGeo.<br /> <br /> We don't have borders and the people are:<br /> * members from everywhere,<br /> * users who live in any country<br /> * volunteers from any part of the world.<br /> <br /> I have being one of the fortunate that has met many of them<br /> * on FOSS4G events<br /> * on code sprint events.<br /> * some only thru video conference<br /> * most of them by IRC/chat<br /> <br /> I consider them as my heroes.<br /> <br /> They give up:<br /> * social time<br /> * work opportunities<br /> * and most important: family time<br /> ** I cheat, some family time I make up when taking a family member to an OSGeo event.<br /> <br /> I feel blessed as I have, from some of those heroes of mine, their autograph, I am their FAN #1.<br /> <br /> Here are the next questions as a charter member I ask:<br /> * IS OSGeo helping people to be the best of what they can be?<br /> * Is OSGeo encouraging?<br /> * IS OSGeo a safe place?<br /> <br /> From my experience the answers to all questions is yes.<br /> <br /> There might be limitations, for example of local cultural limitations:<br /> A lady I met in India who is a student. Her father, who lives 300km away, forbids her<br /> to go out of the campus, not even to the restaurant in 50 mts away, and she complies<br /> to her father wishes. (I wonder if ever she will go to an international FOOS4G).<br /> <br /> The reason that form my experience the answer is yes, is because when rephrasing the questions:<br /> * Am I helping people to be the best of what they can be?<br /> * Am I encouraging?<br /> * Am I a safe person?<br /> <br /> I can answer, without a doubt, YES.<br /> <br /> Am I doing enough?<br /> <br /> That I don't think so, but I am trying to enforce the '''right to be the best on can be''' on our members, volunteers, users, etc.<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> * In general: promote the use and development of Free and Open Source Software<br /> * In particular: promote the use and development of the OSGeo projects, OSGeo incubation and OSGeo community Free Open Source Software.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> Given my location and maternal language, the following points have a stronger implied emphasis to Latin America, but its not limited to this area.<br /> <br /> ''' Let the kitten be known'''<br /> <br /> * Encourage developers to build open projects using OSGeo projects that can help communities from pot hole control to emergency plans, from planting trees to avoid forest deprivation, from Archaeology to Economics, etc.<br /> * Promote the use of open source as tools, in particular OSGeo projects that give an ample variety of backend and frontend tools for systems development.<br /> * Promote the participation of Latin American students/developers/users to participate from simple tasks as translation up to code contributions on OSGeo Projects<br /> * Promote the participation of Latin American students/developers/users to create new OSGeo Community projects that can be used by local communities.<br /> * I went to the OGP summit in Mexico 2015 https://www.opengovpartnership.org/ and I think there is a lot of possibilities for using OSGeo projects. Do more research, and maybe starting to see how my own country is advancing towards the openness and more details on how OSGeo can be/its being used.<br /> * Support and encourage smaller open source projects to join OSGeo, and make OSGeo more valuable for them<br /> * Reach out to Latin-American local chapters and encourage them to play an active role in OSGeo<br /> <br /> '''Curiosity killed the cat'''<br /> <br /> Normally people tend to see, what's going wrong, on things that are happening. What becomes difficult to observe is what is wrong that things/activities that should be going are not even started yet.<br /> <br /> Lets not forget to think about why things are not happening.<br /> <br /> * Why &quot;[abc] is NOT [xyz] OSGeo&quot;.<br /> * Why do some projects, do not start incubation?<br /> * Why is there no local OSGeo chapter in, for example, Mexico?<br /> * Why do we have mostly sponsors from North America and Europe?<br /> * Why there are so few participation from Latin American countries in OSGeo even if they have conferences every year ... same for Japan actually.<br /> * Why we only hear (and see) those, who raise their voice and shout out loud. But we miss to reach the silent majority?<br /> * What causes the &quot;inactivity&quot;?<br /> * Why ....<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===<br /> * As an Economist, I don't want to handle money (It was by accident that I studied economics).<br /> * Get things done! Solving issues and making decision.<br /> * Ask: why? what? how?<br /> <br /> <br /> == 6. Codrina Maria Ilie, Romania ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/codrina-maria-ilie/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any) ===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == 7. Till Adams, Germany ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/till-adams/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> '''--- In progress!!! ---'''<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> (Facts: See profile.) I am a long term member of the OSGeo community. I started my first projects with a UMN version 3.something in the early 2000's, but I am even longer convinced, that the Free&amp;open Software way is the right way to go. I had my first Linux desktop during my studies in the mid 90's. Later, in my work life, I had the chance of participate on most of the global FOSS4G conferences, and it teached me one thing: There is a special spirit, that distinguishes us from all other GIS or non-GIS conferences in the world. In 2016 I had the luck to chair the global FOSS4G conference in Bonn. We, the whole team, put a lot of passion into the preparation and everything we did, was done by us, no professional conference-agency told us, how to run our conference.

Vicky Vergara, Mexico ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/vicky-vergara/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> I am an experimenting person, perfectionist, a test freak, and lazy. (Maybe<br /> you have not noticed the lazy part, but, I spend days, days and more days<br /> to figure out if there is a fastest/better way to do a particular task, so<br /> that when the task is done, its in seconds, instead of hours).<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> Back in 2013, I was jobless then my only way to contribute, because of the use I was making of OSGeo projects, was to become a translator on pgRouting:<br /> <br /> * July 25, 2013 [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/157#issuecomment-21562472 I offered my self as translator] of pgrouting<br /> ** Note that I was new to everything: [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/157#issuecomment-21584629 comment about my ignorance]<br /> * August 16, 2013: I was invited to contribute code to pgRouting: [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/178#issuecomment-22802017 Invitation]<br /> * August 23, 2013: My first code contribution [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/pull/185 the modifying 75 files Pull request].<br /> * July 2015:<br /> ** Version 2.1.0 released<br /> ** OSGeo-GSoC mentor for pgRouting.<br /> * September 2015: My first FOSS4G participation<br /> * September 2015: Became a Charter member<br /> * June 2017, I accepted to be part of PSC of OSGeoLive: [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeolive/2017-June/012175.html Accepting statement]<br /> * 2017 elections: I was nominated to be member of the Board of Directors, did not make it to the Board ;-)<br /> * 2018: I still can do a lot, so I volunteered to be member of the System Administration Committee (SAC)<br /> * 2018: I also volunteered for CRO, because as member of SAC and because I imagined<br /> what the CRO where doing to handle the elections, and I thought I can do a lot to facilitate that Job.<br /> * 2019: I still can do much more, I became member and co-chair of the Code of Conduct Committee.<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> <br /> '''The right to be the best one can be'''<br /> <br /> * Who am I?<br /> * What do I do?<br /> * Am I the best of what I can be?<br /> * Do I have a dream?<br /> Those are questions that we can ask to ourselves.<br /> <br /> Before I answer those questions, I think in society, everything starts with the family:<br /> * My father gladly goes with me to events (gives me some family time).<br /> * When on vacation on Paris with my mother, a brother and his wife. We met a colleague from OSGeoLive and<br /> we had a great evening. (family time mixed with OSGeo time)<br /> * One of my sons went to Argentina and volunteered on the reception desk on FOSS4G-Argentina 2017. (allows me family time)<br /> * My other son is letting us use his AZURE code on transifex for OSGeoLive and on pgRouting.<br /> * My husband, well what can I tell, he supported me a full year with my kid to study my masters, he<br /> knows that I will do what I need to do to be the best of what I can be.<br /> * My niece is doing the Spanish translations on OSGeoLive and on pgRouting and made a presentation on<br /> FOSS4G Argentina 2019 about point clouds. (more family time)<br /> <br /> I am a lucky person, my family is participating in what I do. I consider that my family <br /> is doing all what they can do, so that my ''right to be the best I can be'' is fulfilled.<br /> And my family is growing with OSGeo.<br /> <br /> Now lets answer those questions:<br /> * Who am I? I am Vicky. I was thought to be a fighter and not to give up.<br /> * What do I do? I do whatever I need to do to make this world a better place.<br /> * Am I the best of what I can be? No, as for tomorrow I want to be better than today.<br /> * Do I have a dream? I want to make this world be a better place.<br /> <br /> The best of all is that I have my family support.<br /> <br /> OSGeo, is as small part of the society, but its an international part of it.<br /> And we are part of OSGeo.<br /> <br /> We don't have borders and the people are:<br /> * members from everywhere,<br /> * users who live in any country<br /> * volunteers from any part of the world.<br /> <br /> I have being one of the fortunate that has met many of them<br /> * on FOSS4G events<br /> * on code sprint events.<br /> * some only thru video conference<br /> * most of them by IRC/chat<br /> <br /> I consider them as my heroes.<br /> <br /> They give up:<br /> * social time<br /> * work opportunities<br /> * and most important: family time<br /> ** I cheat, some family time I make up when taking a family member to an OSGeo event.<br /> <br /> I feel blessed as I have, from some of those heroes of mine, their autograph, I am their FAN #1.<br /> <br /> Here are the next questions as a charter member I ask:<br /> * IS OSGeo helping people to be the best of what they can be?<br /> * Is OSGeo encouraging?<br /> * IS OSGeo a safe place?<br /> <br /> From my experience the answers to all questions is yes.<br /> <br /> There might be limitations, for example of local cultural limitations:<br /> A lady I met in India who is a student. Her father, who lives 300km away, forbids her<br /> to go out of the campus, not even to the restaurant in 50 mts away, and she complies<br /> to her father wishes. (I wonder if ever she will go to an international FOOS4G).<br /> <br /> The reason that form my experience the answer is yes, is because when rephrasing the questions:<br /> * Am I helping people to be the best of what they can be?<br /> * Am I encouraging?<br /> * Am I a safe person?<br /> <br /> I can answer, without a doubt, YES.<br /> <br /> Am I doing enough?<br /> <br /> That I don't think so, but I am trying to enforce the '''right to be the best on can be''' on our members, volunteers, users, etc.<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> * In general: promote the use and development of Free and Open Source Software<br /> * In particular: promote the use and development of the OSGeo projects, OSGeo incubation and OSGeo community Free Open Source Software.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> Given my location and maternal language, the following points have a stronger implied emphasis to Latin America, but its not limited to this area.<br /> <br /> ''' Let the kitten be known'''<br /> <br /> * Encourage developers to build open projects using OSGeo projects that can help communities from pot hole control to emergency plans, from planting trees to avoid forest deprivation, from Archaeology to Economics, etc.<br /> * Promote the use of open source as tools, in particular OSGeo projects that give an ample variety of backend and frontend tools for systems development.<br /> * Promote the participation of Latin American students/developers/users to participate from simple tasks as translation up to code contributions on OSGeo Projects<br /> * Promote the participation of Latin American students/developers/users to create new OSGeo Community projects that can be used by local communities.<br /> * I went to the OGP summit in Mexico 2015 https://www.opengovpartnership.org/ and I think there is a lot of possibilities for using OSGeo projects. Do more research, and maybe starting to see how my own country is advancing towards the openness and more details on how OSGeo can be/its being used.<br /> * Support and encourage smaller open source projects to join OSGeo, and make OSGeo more valuable for them<br /> * Reach out to Latin-American local chapters and encourage them to play an active role in OSGeo<br /> <br /> '''Curiosity killed the cat'''<br /> <br /> Normally people tend to see, what's going wrong, on things that are happening. What becomes difficult to observe is what is wrong that things/activities that should be going are not even started yet.<br /> <br /> Lets not forget to think about why things are not happening.<br /> <br /> * Why &quot;[abc] is NOT [xyz] OSGeo&quot;.<br /> * Why do some projects, do not start incubation?<br /> * Why is there no local OSGeo chapter in, for example, Mexico?<br /> * Why do we have mostly sponsors from North America and Europe?<br /> * Why there are so few participation from Latin American countries in OSGeo even if they have conferences every year ... same for Japan actually.<br /> * Why we only hear (and see) those, who raise their voice and shout out loud. But we miss to reach the silent majority?<br /> * What causes the &quot;inactivity&quot;?<br /> * Why ....<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===<br /> * As an Economist, I don't want to handle money (It was by accident that I studied economics).<br /> * Get things done! Solving issues and making decision.<br /> * Ask: why? what? how?<br /> <br /> <br /> == 6.

I had my first Linux desktop during my studies in the mid 90's. Later, in my work life, I had the chance of participate on most of the global FOSS4G conferences, and it teached me one thing: There is a special spirit, that distinguishes us from all other GIS or non-GIS conferences in the world.

I consider that my family <br /> is doing all what they can do, so that my ''right to be the best I can be'' is fulfilled.<br /> And my family is growing with OSGeo.<br /> <br /> Now lets answer those questions:<br /> * Who am I? I am Vicky. I was thought to be a fighter and not to give up.<br /> * What do I do? I do whatever I need to do to make this world a better place.<br /> * Am I the best of what I can be? No, as for tomorrow I want to be better than today.<br /> * Do I have a dream? I want to make this world be a better place.<br /> <br /> The best of all is that I have my family support.<br /> <br /> OSGeo, is as small part of the society, but its an international part of it.<br /> And we are part of OSGeo.<br /> <br /> We don't have borders and the people are:<br /> * members from everywhere,<br /> * users who live in any country<br /> * volunteers from any part of the world.<br /> <br /> I have being one of the fortunate that has met many of them<br /> * on FOSS4G events<br /> * on code sprint events.<br /> * some only thru video conference<br /> * most of them by IRC/chat<br /> <br /> I consider them as my heroes.<br /> <br /> They give up:<br /> * social time<br /> * work opportunities<br /> * and most important: family time<br /> ** I cheat, some family time I make up when taking a family member to an OSGeo event.<br /> <br /> I feel blessed as I have, from some of those heroes of mine, their autograph, I am their FAN #1.<br /> <br /> Here are the next questions as a charter member I ask:<br /> * IS OSGeo helping people to be the best of what they can be?<br /> * Is OSGeo encouraging?<br /> * IS OSGeo a safe place?<br /> <br /> From my experience the answers to all questions is yes.<br /> <br /> There might be limitations, for example of local cultural limitations:<br /> A lady I met in India who is a student. Her father, who lives 300km away, forbids her<br /> to go out of the campus, not even to the restaurant in 50 mts away, and she complies<br /> to her father wishes. (I wonder if ever she will go to an international FOOS4G).<br /> <br /> The reason that form my experience the answer is yes, is because when rephrasing the questions:<br /> * Am I helping people to be the best of what they can be?<br /> * Am I encouraging?<br /> * Am I a safe person?<br /> <br /> I can answer, without a doubt, YES.<br /> <br /> Am I doing enough?<br /> <br /> That I don't think so, but I am trying to enforce the '''right to be the best on can be''' on our members, volunteers, users, etc.<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> * In general: promote the use and development of Free and Open Source Software<br /> * In particular: promote the use and development of the OSGeo projects, OSGeo incubation and OSGeo community Free Open Source Software.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> Given my location and maternal language, the following points have a stronger implied emphasis to Latin America, but its not limited to this area.<br /> <br /> ''' Let the kitten be known'''<br /> <br /> * Encourage developers to build open projects using OSGeo projects that can help communities from pot hole control to emergency plans, from planting trees to avoid forest deprivation, from Archaeology to Economics, etc.<br /> * Promote the use of open source as tools, in particular OSGeo projects that give an ample variety of backend and frontend tools for systems development.<br /> * Promote the participation of Latin American students/developers/users to participate from simple tasks as translation up to code contributions on OSGeo Projects<br /> * Promote the participation of Latin American students/developers/users to create new OSGeo Community projects that can be used by local communities.<br /> * I went to the OGP summit in Mexico 2015 https://www.opengovpartnership.org/ and I think there is a lot of possibilities for using OSGeo projects. Do more research, and maybe starting to see how my own country is advancing towards the openness and more details on how OSGeo can be/its being used.<br /> * Support and encourage smaller open source projects to join OSGeo, and make OSGeo more valuable for them<br /> * Reach out to Latin-American local chapters and encourage them to play an active role in OSGeo<br /> <br /> '''Curiosity killed the cat'''<br /> <br /> Normally people tend to see, what's going wrong, on things that are happening. What becomes difficult to observe is what is wrong that things/activities that should be going are not even started yet.<br /> <br /> Lets not forget to think about why things are not happening.<br /> <br /> * Why &quot;[abc] is NOT [xyz] OSGeo&quot;.<br /> * Why do some projects, do not start incubation?<br /> * Why is there no local OSGeo chapter in, for example, Mexico?<br /> * Why do we have mostly sponsors from North America and Europe?<br /> * Why there are so few participation from Latin American countries in OSGeo even if they have conferences every year ... same for Japan actually.<br /> * Why we only hear (and see) those, who raise their voice and shout out loud. But we miss to reach the silent majority?<br /> * What causes the &quot;inactivity&quot;?<br /> * Why ....<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===<br /> * As an Economist, I don't want to handle money (It was by accident that I studied economics).<br /> * Get things done!

Till Adams, Germany ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/till-adams/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> '''--- In progress!!! ---'''<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> (Facts: See profile.) I am a long term member of the OSGeo community. I started my first projects with a UMN version 3.something in the early 2000's, but I am even longer convinced, that the Free&amp;open Software way is the right way to go. I had my first Linux desktop during my studies in the mid 90's. Later, in my work life, I had the chance of participate on most of the global FOSS4G conferences, and it teached me one thing: There is a special spirit, that distinguishes us from all other GIS or non-GIS conferences in the world. In 2016 I had the luck to chair the global FOSS4G conference in Bonn. We, the whole team, put a lot of passion into the preparation and everything we did, was done by us, no professional conference-agency told us, how to run our conference. I think, that most of the people that joined us here in Bonn felt this special spirit, that was evoked by our motto &quot;building bridges&quot;.<br /> This is also what I tried in my time as chair of OSGeo's conference committee.<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> <br /> - regular visits of FOSS4G events with a countless number of talks (including 2 keynotes, FOSSGIS 2015 &amp; SOTM SEE 2019)<br /> - OSGeo charter member<br /> - co-initiator of local OSGeo chapter FOSSGIS and FOSSGIS conference since 2004<br /> - board member of FOSSGIS from 2014 to 2019<br /> - co-founder and board member of OSGeo's european local chapter <br /> - chair of global FOSS4G conference 2016<br /> - since 2016 chair of OSGeo's conference committee (which I will quit in case of becoming a member of the board)<br /> - member of programm committee and/or organizing committee of numerous FOSSGIS conferences<br /> - co.initiator of becomng the actinia project under the umbreall of OSGeo (as community project)<br /> - <br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any) ===<br /> <br /> == 8.

Adam Steer, Australia ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/steer/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> <br /> I have a diverse career/life history, so this could be really long - but I’ll make it short. I’ve been putting data on maps for a long time; and fell naturally to open source software to accomplish that task. Much later, I realised there’s this whole support system behind the stuff I downloaded and used - and now, since I’m not a software engineer and usually would probably make the software worse if I tried, I try to give back by helping that support system to thrive however I can.<br /> <br /> My technical world is focussed on airborne remote sensing - lidar and imagery. Outside of technical stuff, I like to adventure and consider deeply how we interact with our planet and each other. And sometimes destroy good songs on a guitar.<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> <br /> OSGeo blends a pile of theoretical fields, rigorous engineering practice and community; bonded together by the desire to make sense of space around us and create tools which can be freely given for others to do the same in ways which make sense to them. It provides an entrypoint - an easy on-ramp - for anyone to learn about coding; or learn about geospatial stuff; or learn about developing a community. Or all of the above!<br /> <br /> This was the special sauce has been so attractive to me, and why I’ve devoted a pile of time to helping grow an open geospatial community in Oceania.<br /> <br /> My vision is pretty much ‘keep doing that’, coupled with ‘listen a lot’, and ‘go out of our way to invite people in’.<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> <br /> I’ve attended and spoken or facilitated workshops at FOSS4G conferences in 2016,17,18, and 2019. I consider this a huge privilege - so thanks also to this community for your support and trust! <br /> <br /> In 2018 I led the sponsorship drive for the inaugural FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference; and also helped create some programmes to specifically fund inclusivity initiatives. In 2019 I had to step back from programme leadership, and invested energy in a community based greenhouse gas mitigation strategy instead.<br /> <br /> I’ve contributed small pieces to a couple of projects (PyWPS, I think maybe one line ages ago!) and PDAL (mostly docs). I’m also a member of the marketing committee and have an OGC membership - both of which I feel a bit guilty about because really, I haven’t pushed much along on either front.<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> <br /> I accepted a nomination for this election because there is no representation on the board of OSGeo from the Oceania region. I hope to act as a kind of conduit for the visions of my (broad and diverse) region in terms of guiding OSGeo into a sustainable and equitable future.<br /> <br /> I’m also here to learn - from the experience of working with a diverse distributed, and successful group.<br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> I think right now I’d need to spend a lot of time learning the ropes before knowing about what to change.<br /> <br /> One key thing would be to spend time working on greenhouse gas mitigation programmes for conference travel - we’ve seen great enthusiasm for community-led, tangible programmes here in Oceania, I wonder if that exists worldwide. This may really fall to local organising committees in the end, I wonder how OSGeo can offer support?<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any) ===<br /> <br /> No special interest at this time, as a first-time board candidate I think learning the ropes will be plenty. If I can avoid treasurer-ing, great! I already have enough paperwork on the business front :)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Elections]]<br /> [[Category:Election_2019]]</div>

I had my first Linux desktop during my studies in the mid 90's. Later, in my work life, I had the chance of participate on most of the global FOSS4G conferences, and it teached me one thing: There is a special spirit, that distinguishes us from all other GIS or non-GIS conferences in the world.

We, the whole team, put a lot of passion into the preparation and everything we did, was done by us, no professional conference-agency told us, how to run our conference.

Adam Steer, Australia ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/steer/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> <br /> I have a diverse career/life history, so this could be really long - but I’ll make it short. I’ve been putting data on maps for a long time; and fell naturally to open source software to accomplish that task. Much later, I realised there’s this whole support system behind the stuff I downloaded and used - and now, since I’m not a software engineer and usually would probably make the software worse if I tried, I try to give back by helping that support system to thrive however I can.<br /> <br /> My technical world is focussed on airborne remote sensing - lidar and imagery. Outside of technical stuff, I like to adventure and consider deeply how we interact with our planet and each other. And sometimes destroy good songs on a guitar.<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> <br /> OSGeo blends a pile of theoretical fields, rigorous engineering practice and community; bonded together by the desire to make sense of space around us and create tools which can be freely given for others to do the same in ways which make sense to them. It provides an entrypoint - an easy on-ramp - for anyone to learn about coding; or learn about geospatial stuff; or learn about developing a community. Or all of the above!<br /> <br /> This was the special sauce has been so attractive to me, and why I’ve devoted a pile of time to helping grow an open geospatial community in Oceania.<br /> <br /> My vision is pretty much ‘keep doing that’, coupled with ‘listen a lot’, and ‘go out of our way to invite people in’.<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> <br /> I’ve attended and spoken or facilitated workshops at FOSS4G conferences in 2016,17,18, and 2019. I consider this a huge privilege - so thanks also to this community for your support and trust! <br /> <br /> In 2018 I led the sponsorship drive for the inaugural FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference; and also helped create some programmes to specifically fund inclusivity initiatives. In 2019 I had to step back from programme leadership, and invested energy in a community based greenhouse gas mitigation strategy instead.<br /> <br /> I’ve contributed small pieces to a couple of projects (PyWPS, I think maybe one line ages ago!) and PDAL (mostly docs). I’m also a member of the marketing committee and have an OGC membership - both of which I feel a bit guilty about because really, I haven’t pushed much along on either front.<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> <br /> I accepted a nomination for this election because there is no representation on the board of OSGeo from the Oceania region. I hope to act as a kind of conduit for the visions of my (broad and diverse) region in terms of guiding OSGeo into a sustainable and equitable future.<br /> <br /> I’m also here to learn - from the experience of working with a diverse distributed, and successful group.<br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> I think right now I’d need to spend a lot of time learning the ropes before knowing about what to change.<br /> <br /> One key thing would be to spend time working on greenhouse gas mitigation programmes for conference travel - we’ve seen great enthusiasm for community-led, tangible programmes here in Oceania, I wonder if that exists worldwide. This may really fall to local organising committees in the end, I wonder how OSGeo can offer support?<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any) ===<br /> <br /> No special interest at this time, as a first-time board candidate I think learning the ropes will be plenty. If I can avoid treasurer-ing, great! I already have enough paperwork on the business front :)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Elections]]<br /> [[Category:Election_2019]]</div>

Or all of the above!<br /> <br /> This was the special sauce has been so attractive to me, and why I’ve devoted a pile of time to helping grow an open geospatial community in Oceania.<br /> <br /> My vision is pretty much ‘keep doing that’, coupled with ‘listen a lot’, and ‘go out of our way to invite people in’.<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> <br /> I’ve attended and spoken or facilitated workshops at FOSS4G conferences in 2016,17,18, and 2019.

Helena Mitasova, USA ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/helena-mitasova/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> I am a Professor at the Center for Geospatial Analytics and Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA, and lead the Geoforall Lab at NCSU (one of the founding labs).<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> Make the world a better place with open source geospatial: promote sustainable, long term use of open source through research and teaching.<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> I have been on GRASS GIS development team since 1991 and I have been involved with OSGeo since its founding in 2006, first serving on committees (conference, education) and then on the board.<br /> Since elected to the board I served as vice-president, working with geoforall initiative and managing partnerships through memoranda of understanding. I also work with my students contributing new methods, techniques and tools to GRASS GIS and developing and delivering workshops and courses - see our [https://geospatial.ncsu.edu/geoforall/publications.html publications] <br /> and [https://geospatial.ncsu.edu/geoforall/courses.html courses]<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> I would like to make sure that the OSGeo board provides effective support to the projects through resources for code and community sprints and many other activities. <br /> I would also like to continue my previous work with geoforall and our MoU partners and provide a voice for academic community to help open source geospatial grow <br /> new generation of passionate developers, users and community builders.<br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> Encouraging educational institutions not only to use FOSS4G but also increase the contributions at several levels - from educational material to the code.

Vicky Vergara, Mexico ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/vicky-vergara/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> I am an experimenting person, perfectionist, a test freak, and lazy. (Maybe<br /> you have not noticed the lazy part, but, I spend days, days and more days<br /> to figure out if there is a fastest/better way to do a particular task, so<br /> that when the task is done, its in seconds, instead of hours).<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> Back in 2013, I was jobless then my only way to contribute, because of the use I was making of OSGeo projects, was to become a translator on pgRouting:<br /> <br /> * July 25, 2013 [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/157#issuecomment-21562472 I offered my self as translator] of pgrouting<br /> ** Note that I was new to everything: [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/157#issuecomment-21584629 comment about my ignorance]<br /> * August 16, 2013: I was invited to contribute code to pgRouting: [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/178#issuecomment-22802017 Invitation]<br /> * August 23, 2013: My first code contribution [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/pull/185 the modifying 75 files Pull request].<br /> * July 2015:<br /> ** Version 2.1.0 released<br /> ** OSGeo-GSoC mentor for pgRouting.<br /> * September 2015: My first FOSS4G participation<br /> * September 2015: Became a Charter member<br /> * June 2017, I accepted to be part of PSC of OSGeoLive: [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeolive/2017-June/012175.html Accepting statement]<br /> * 2017 elections: I was nominated to be member of the Board of Directors, did not make it to the Board ;-)<br /> * 2018: I still can do a lot, so I volunteered to be member of the System Administration Committee (SAC)<br /> * 2018: I also volunteered for CRO, because as member of SAC and because I imagined<br /> what the CRO where doing to handle the elections, and I thought I can do a lot to facilitate that Job.<br /> * 2019: I still can do much more, I became member and co-chair of the Code of Conduct Committee.<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> <br /> '''The right to be the best one can be'''<br /> <br /> * Who am I?<br /> * What do I do?<br /> * Am I the best of what I can be?<br /> * Do I have a dream?<br /> Those are questions that we can ask to ourselves.<br /> <br /> Before I answer those questions, I think in society, everything starts with the family:<br /> * My father gladly goes with me to events (gives me some family time).<br /> * When on vacation on Paris with my mother, a brother and his wife. We met a colleague from OSGeoLive and<br /> we had a great evening. (family time mixed with OSGeo time)<br /> * One of my sons went to Argentina and volunteered on the reception desk on FOSS4G-Argentina 2017. (allows me family time)<br /> * My other son is letting us use his AZURE code on transifex for OSGeoLive and on pgRouting.<br /> * My husband, well what can I tell, he supported me a full year with my kid to study my masters, he<br /> knows that I will do what I need to do to be the best of what I can be.<br /> * My niece is doing the Spanish translations on OSGeoLive and on pgRouting and made a presentation on<br /> FOSS4G Argentina 2019 about point clouds. (more family time)<br /> <br /> I am a lucky person, my family is participating in what I do. I consider that my family <br /> is doing all what they can do, so that my ''right to be the best I can be'' is fulfilled.<br /> And my family is growing with OSGeo.<br /> <br /> Now lets answer those questions:<br /> * Who am I? I am Vicky. I was thought to be a fighter and not to give up.<br /> * What do I do? I do whatever I need to do to make this world a better place.<br /> * Am I the best of what I can be? No, as for tomorrow I want to be better than today.<br /> * Do I have a dream? I want to make this world be a better place.<br /> <br /> The best of all is that I have my family support.<br /> <br /> OSGeo, is as small part of the society, but its an international part of it.<br /> And we are part of OSGeo.<br /> <br /> We don't have borders and the people are:<br /> * members from everywhere,<br /> * users who live in any country<br /> * volunteers from any part of the world.<br /> <br /> I have being one of the fortunate that has met many of them<br /> * on FOSS4G events<br /> * on code sprint events.<br /> * some only thru video conference<br /> * most of them by IRC/chat<br /> <br /> I consider them as my heroes.<br /> <br /> They give up:<br /> * social time<br /> * work opportunities<br /> * and most important: family time<br /> ** I cheat, some family time I make up when taking a family member to an OSGeo event.<br /> <br /> I feel blessed as I have, from some of those heroes of mine, their autograph, I am their FAN #1.<br /> <br /> Here are the next questions as a charter member I ask:<br /> * IS OSGeo helping people to be the best of what they can be?<br /> * Is OSGeo encouraging?<br /> * IS OSGeo a safe place?<br /> <br /> From my experience the answers to all questions is yes.<br /> <br /> There might be limitations, for example of local cultural limitations:<br /> A lady I met in India who is a student. Her father, who lives 300km away, forbids her<br /> to go out of the campus, not even to the restaurant in 50 mts away, and she complies<br /> to her father wishes. (I wonder if ever she will go to an international FOOS4G).<br /> <br /> The reason that form my experience the answer is yes, is because when rephrasing the questions:<br /> * Am I helping people to be the best of what they can be?<br /> * Am I encouraging?<br /> * Am I a safe person?<br /> <br /> I can answer, without a doubt, YES.<br /> <br /> Am I doing enough?<br /> <br /> That I don't think so, but I am trying to enforce the '''right to be the best on can be''' on our members, volunteers, users, etc.<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> * In general: promote the use and development of Free and Open Source Software<br /> * In particular: promote the use and development of the OSGeo projects, OSGeo incubation and OSGeo community Free Open Source Software.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> Given my location and maternal language, the following points have a stronger implied emphasis to Latin America, but its not limited to this area.<br /> <br /> ''' Let the kitten be known'''<br /> <br /> * Encourage developers to build open projects using OSGeo projects that can help communities from pot hole control to emergency plans, from planting trees to avoid forest deprivation, from Archaeology to Economics, etc.<br /> * Promote the use of open source as tools, in particular OSGeo projects that give an ample variety of backend and frontend tools for systems development.<br /> * Promote the participation of Latin American students/developers/users to participate from simple tasks as translation up to code contributions on OSGeo Projects<br /> * Promote the participation of Latin American students/developers/users to create new OSGeo Community projects that can be used by local communities.<br /> * I went to the OGP summit in Mexico 2015 https://www.opengovpartnership.org/ and I think there is a lot of possibilities for using OSGeo projects. Do more research, and maybe starting to see how my own country is advancing towards the openness and more details on how OSGeo can be/its being used.<br /> * Support and encourage smaller open source projects to join OSGeo, and make OSGeo more valuable for them<br /> * Reach out to Latin-American local chapters and encourage them to play an active role in OSGeo<br /> <br /> '''Curiosity killed the cat'''<br /> <br /> Normally people tend to see, what's going wrong, on things that are happening. What becomes difficult to observe is what is wrong that things/activities that should be going are not even started yet.<br /> <br /> Lets not forget to think about why things are not happening.<br /> <br /> * Why &quot;[abc] is NOT [xyz] OSGeo&quot;.<br /> * Why do some projects, do not start incubation?<br /> * Why is there no local OSGeo chapter in, for example, Mexico?<br /> * Why do we have mostly sponsors from North America and Europe?<br /> * Why there are so few participation from Latin American countries in OSGeo even if they have conferences every year ... same for Japan actually.<br /> * Why we only hear (and see) those, who raise their voice and shout out loud. But we miss to reach the silent majority?<br /> * What causes the &quot;inactivity&quot;?<br /> * Why ....<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===<br /> * As an Economist, I don't want to handle money (It was by accident that I studied economics).<br /> * Get things done! Solving issues and making decision.<br /> * Ask: why? what? how?<br /> <br /> <br /> == 6.

I had my first Linux desktop during my studies in the mid 90's. Later, in my work life, I had the chance of participate on most of the global FOSS4G conferences, and it teached me one thing: There is a special spirit, that distinguishes us from all other GIS or non-GIS conferences in the world. In 2016 I had the luck to chair the global FOSS4G conference in Bonn. We, the whole team, put a lot of passion into the preparation and everything we did, was done by us, no professional conference-agency told us, how to run our conference.

I also work with my students contributing new methods, techniques and tools to GRASS GIS and developing and delivering workshops and courses - see our [https://geospatial.ncsu.edu/geoforall/publications.html publications] <br /> and [https://geospatial.ncsu.edu/geoforall/courses.html courses]<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> I would like to make sure that the OSGeo board provides effective support to the projects through resources for code and community sprints and many other activities. <br /> I would also like to continue my previous work with geoforall and our MoU partners and provide a voice for academic community to help open source geospatial grow <br /> new generation of passionate developers, users and community builders.<br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> Encouraging educational institutions not only to use FOSS4G but also increase the contributions at several levels - from educational material to the code. Also, I think that we may need to revisit the OSGeo website management issues to make sure it is always up to date and helps the community.<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any) ===<br /> Coordination with geo4all initiative and working with partner organizations.<br /> <br /> == 5. Vicky Vergara, Mexico ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/vicky-vergara/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> I am an experimenting person, perfectionist, a test freak, and lazy. (Maybe<br /> you have not noticed the lazy part, but, I spend days, days and more days<br /> to figure out if there is a fastest/better way to do a particular task, so<br /> that when the task is done, its in seconds, instead of hours).<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> Back in 2013, I was jobless then my only way to contribute, because of the use I was making of OSGeo projects, was to become a translator on pgRouting:<br /> <br /> * July 25, 2013 [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/157#issuecomment-21562472 I offered my self as translator] of pgrouting<br /> ** Note that I was new to everything: [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/157#issuecomment-21584629 comment about my ignorance]<br /> * August 16, 2013: I was invited to contribute code to pgRouting: [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/issues/178#issuecomment-22802017 Invitation]<br /> * August 23, 2013: My first code contribution [https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/pull/185 the modifying 75 files Pull request].<br /> * July 2015:<br /> ** Version 2.1.0 released<br /> ** OSGeo-GSoC mentor for pgRouting.<br /> * September 2015: My first FOSS4G participation<br /> * September 2015: Became a Charter member<br /> * June 2017, I accepted to be part of PSC of OSGeoLive: [https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeolive/2017-June/012175.html Accepting statement]<br /> * 2017 elections: I was nominated to be member of the Board of Directors, did not make it to the Board ;-)<br /> * 2018: I still can do a lot, so I volunteered to be member of the System Administration Committee (SAC)<br /> * 2018: I also volunteered for CRO, because as member of SAC and because I imagined<br /> what the CRO where doing to handle the elections, and I thought I can do a lot to facilitate that Job.<br /> * 2019: I still can do much more, I became member and co-chair of the Code of Conduct Committee.<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> <br /> '''The right to be the best one can be'''<br /> <br /> * Who am I?<br /> * What do I do?<br /> * Am I the best of what I can be?<br /> * Do I have a dream?<br /> Those are questions that we can ask to ourselves.<br /> <br /> Before I answer those questions, I think in society, everything starts with the family:<br /> * My father gladly goes with me to events (gives me some family time).<br /> * When on vacation on Paris with my mother, a brother and his wife. We met a colleague from OSGeoLive and<br /> we had a great evening. (family time mixed with OSGeo time)<br /> * One of my sons went to Argentina and volunteered on the reception desk on FOSS4G-Argentina 2017. (allows me family time)<br /> * My other son is letting us use his AZURE code on transifex for OSGeoLive and on pgRouting.<br /> * My husband, well what can I tell, he supported me a full year with my kid to study my masters, he<br /> knows that I will do what I need to do to be the best of what I can be.<br /> * My niece is doing the Spanish translations on OSGeoLive and on pgRouting and made a presentation on<br /> FOSS4G Argentina 2019 about point clouds. (more family time)<br /> <br /> I am a lucky person, my family is participating in what I do. I consider that my family <br /> is doing all what they can do, so that my ''right to be the best I can be'' is fulfilled.<br /> And my family is growing with OSGeo.<br /> <br /> Now lets answer those questions:<br /> * Who am I? I am Vicky. I was thought to be a fighter and not to give up.<br /> * What do I do? I do whatever I need to do to make this world a better place.<br /> * Am I the best of what I can be? No, as for tomorrow I want to be better than today.<br /> * Do I have a dream? I want to make this world be a better place.<br /> <br /> The best of all is that I have my family support.<br /> <br /> OSGeo, is as small part of the society, but its an international part of it.<br /> And we are part of OSGeo.<br /> <br /> We don't have borders and the people are:<br /> * members from everywhere,<br /> * users who live in any country<br /> * volunteers from any part of the world.<br /> <br /> I have being one of the fortunate that has met many of them<br /> * on FOSS4G events<br /> * on code sprint events.<br /> * some only thru video conference<br /> * most of them by IRC/chat<br /> <br /> I consider them as my heroes.<br /> <br /> They give up:<br /> * social time<br /> * work opportunities<br /> * and most important: family time<br /> ** I cheat, some family time I make up when taking a family member to an OSGeo event.<br /> <br /> I feel blessed as I have, from some of those heroes of mine, their autograph, I am their FAN #1.<br /> <br /> Here are the next questions as a charter member I ask:<br /> * IS OSGeo helping people to be the best of what they can be?<br /> * Is OSGeo encouraging?<br /> * IS OSGeo a safe place?<br /> <br /> From my experience the answers to all questions is yes.<br /> <br /> There might be limitations, for example of local cultural limitations:<br /> A lady I met in India who is a student. Her father, who lives 300km away, forbids her<br /> to go out of the campus, not even to the restaurant in 50 mts away, and she complies<br /> to her father wishes. (I wonder if ever she will go to an international FOOS4G).<br /> <br /> The reason that form my experience the answer is yes, is because when rephrasing the questions:<br /> * Am I helping people to be the best of what they can be?<br /> * Am I encouraging?<br /> * Am I a safe person?<br /> <br /> I can answer, without a doubt, YES.<br /> <br /> Am I doing enough?<br /> <br /> That I don't think so, but I am trying to enforce the '''right to be the best on can be''' on our members, volunteers, users, etc.<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> * In general: promote the use and development of Free and Open Source Software<br /> * In particular: promote the use and development of the OSGeo projects, OSGeo incubation and OSGeo community Free Open Source Software.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> Given my location and maternal language, the following points have a stronger implied emphasis to Latin America, but its not limited to this area.<br /> <br /> ''' Let the kitten be known'''<br /> <br /> * Encourage developers to build open projects using OSGeo projects that can help communities from pot hole control to emergency plans, from planting trees to avoid forest deprivation, from Archaeology to Economics, etc.<br /> * Promote the use of open source as tools, in particular OSGeo projects that give an ample variety of backend and frontend tools for systems development.<br /> * Promote the participation of Latin American students/developers/users to participate from simple tasks as translation up to code contributions on OSGeo Projects<br /> * Promote the participation of Latin American students/developers/users to create new OSGeo Community projects that can be used by local communities.<br /> * I went to the OGP summit in Mexico 2015 https://www.opengovpartnership.org/ and I think there is a lot of possibilities for using OSGeo projects. Do more research, and maybe starting to see how my own country is advancing towards the openness and more details on how OSGeo can be/its being used.<br /> * Support and encourage smaller open source projects to join OSGeo, and make OSGeo more valuable for them<br /> * Reach out to Latin-American local chapters and encourage them to play an active role in OSGeo<br /> <br /> '''Curiosity killed the cat'''<br /> <br /> Normally people tend to see, what's going wrong, on things that are happening. What becomes difficult to observe is what is wrong that things/activities that should be going are not even started yet.<br /> <br /> Lets not forget to think about why things are not happening.<br /> <br /> * Why &quot;[abc] is NOT [xyz] OSGeo&quot;.<br /> * Why do some projects, do not start incubation?<br /> * Why is there no local OSGeo chapter in, for example, Mexico?<br /> * Why do we have mostly sponsors from North America and Europe?<br /> * Why there are so few participation from Latin American countries in OSGeo even if they have conferences every year ... same for Japan actually.<br /> * Why we only hear (and see) those, who raise their voice and shout out loud. But we miss to reach the silent majority?<br /> * What causes the &quot;inactivity&quot;?<br /> * Why ....<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfill on the board (if any) ===<br /> * As an Economist, I don't want to handle money (It was by accident that I studied economics).<br /> * Get things done! Solving issues and making decision.<br /> * Ask: why? what? how?<br /> <br /> <br /> == 6. Codrina Maria Ilie, Romania ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/codrina-maria-ilie/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any) ===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == 7. Till Adams, Germany ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/till-adams/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> '''--- In progress!!! ---'''<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> (Facts: See profile.) I am a long term member of the OSGeo community. I started my first projects with a UMN version 3.something in the early 2000's, but I am even longer convinced, that the Free&amp;open Software way is the right way to go. I had my first Linux desktop during my studies in the mid 90's. Later, in my work life, I had the chance of participate on most of the global FOSS4G conferences, and it teached me one thing: There is a special spirit, that distinguishes us from all other GIS or non-GIS conferences in the world. In 2016 I had the luck to chair the global FOSS4G conference in Bonn. We, the whole team, put a lot of passion into the preparation and everything we did, was done by us, no professional conference-agency told us, how to run our conference. I think, that most of the people that joined us here in Bonn felt this special spirit, that was evoked by our motto &quot;building bridges&quot;.<br /> This is also what I tried in my time as chair of OSGeo's conference committee.<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> <br /> - regular visits of FOSS4G events with a countless number of talks (including 2 keynotes, FOSSGIS 2015 &amp; SOTM SEE 2019)<br /> - OSGeo charter member<br /> - co-initiator of local OSGeo chapter FOSSGIS and FOSSGIS conference since 2004<br /> - board member of FOSSGIS from 2014 to 2019<br /> - co-founder and board member of OSGeo's european local chapter <br /> - chair of global FOSS4G conference 2016<br /> - since 2016 chair of OSGeo's conference committee (which I will quit in case of becoming a member of the board)<br /> - member of programm committee and/or organizing committee of numerous FOSSGIS conferences<br /> - co.initiator of becomng the actinia project under the umbreall of OSGeo (as community project)<br /> - <br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any) ===<br /> <br /> == 8. Nicolas Bozon, France ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/nicolas-bozon/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any) ===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == 9. Adam Steer, Australia ([https://www.osgeo.org/member/steer/ OSGeo profile)] ==<br /> <br /> === About me ===<br /> <br /> I have a diverse career/life history, so this could be really long - but I’ll make it short. I’ve been putting data on maps for a long time; and fell naturally to open source software to accomplish that task. Much later, I realised there’s this whole support system behind the stuff I downloaded and used - and now, since I’m not a software engineer and usually would probably make the software worse if I tried, I try to give back by helping that support system to thrive however I can.<br /> <br /> My technical world is focussed on airborne remote sensing - lidar and imagery. Outside of technical stuff, I like to adventure and consider deeply how we interact with our planet and each other. And sometimes destroy good songs on a guitar.<br /> <br /> === My vision ===<br /> <br /> OSGeo blends a pile of theoretical fields, rigorous engineering practice and community; bonded together by the desire to make sense of space around us and create tools which can be freely given for others to do the same in ways which make sense to them. It provides an entrypoint - an easy on-ramp - for anyone to learn about coding; or learn about geospatial stuff; or learn about developing a community. Or all of the above!<br /> <br /> This was the special sauce has been so attractive to me, and why I’ve devoted a pile of time to helping grow an open geospatial community in Oceania.<br /> <br /> My vision is pretty much ‘keep doing that’, coupled with ‘listen a lot’, and ‘go out of our way to invite people in’.<br /> <br /> === What you have done within the community in the past ===<br /> <br /> I’ve attended and spoken or facilitated workshops at FOSS4G conferences in 2016,17,18, and 2019. I consider this a huge privilege - so thanks also to this community for your support and trust! <br /> <br /> In 2018 I led the sponsorship drive for the inaugural FOSS4G SotM Oceania conference; and also helped create some programmes to specifically fund inclusivity initiatives. In 2019 I had to step back from programme leadership, and invested energy in a community based greenhouse gas mitigation strategy instead.<br /> <br /> I’ve contributed small pieces to a couple of projects (PyWPS, I think maybe one line ages ago!) and PDAL (mostly docs). I’m also a member of the marketing committee and have an OGC membership - both of which I feel a bit guilty about because really, I haven’t pushed much along on either front.<br /> <br /> === What your interests are in terms of the board ===<br /> <br /> I accepted a nomination for this election because there is no representation on the board of OSGeo from the Oceania region. I hope to act as a kind of conduit for the visions of my (broad and diverse) region in terms of guiding OSGeo into a sustainable and equitable future.<br /> <br /> I’m also here to learn - from the experience of working with a diverse distributed, and successful group.<br /> <br /> === Any things that you would like to change or introduce ===<br /> <br /> I think right now I’d need to spend a lot of time learning the ropes before knowing about what to change.<br /> <br /> One key thing would be to spend time working on greenhouse gas mitigation programmes for conference travel - we’ve seen great enthusiasm for community-led, tangible programmes here in Oceania, I wonder if that exists worldwide. This may really fall to local organising committees in the end, I wonder how OSGeo can offer support?<br /> <br /> === What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any) ===<br /> <br /> No special interest at this time, as a first-time board candidate I think learning the ropes will be plenty. If I can avoid treasurer-ing, great! I already have enough paperwork on the business front :)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Elections]]<br /> [[Category:Election_2019]]</div>

<p>Msilikale05: </p> <hr /> <div>== Introduction ==<br /> FOSS4G is the acronym for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. It is the annual recurring global event hosted by OSGeo since it's inception in 2006. Its predecessors were rooted in the GRASS and MapServer communities and can be traced back to the beginning of this millennium. Find all recent conference web sites under the year followed by foss4g.org as in http://2011.foss4g.org/<br /> <br /> == History of the Acronym ==<br /> <br /> The FOSS4G was first coined in early 2004 as an acronym for Free and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics by a research group working on I18N of GRASS and MapServer. The first publication defining and using the FOSS4G acronym was published in Japan in March 2004 in a paper entitled [http://dlisv03.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/contents/osakacu/kiyo/DB00011169.pdf &quot;Development of training material and internationalization of GRASS GIS and MapServer for advancing FOSS4G solutions&quot;] published in the Bulletin of Osaka City University Media Center(ISSN: 1345-4145). It was later used at the<br /> &lt;!-- [http://gisws.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/grass04/index.php Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics: GIS-GRASS Users Conference] --&gt;<br /> [http://www.ces.iisc.ernet.in/energy/water/paper/fossgrdss/conference.htm Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics: GIS-GRASS Users Conference]<br /> held between September 12 - 14, 2004 in Bangkok, Thailand in a publication entitled [http://gisws.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/grass04/viewabstract.php?id=33 Implementation of Web Map Server Test-bed and Development of Training Material for Advancing FOSS4G Solutions] and subsequently in several<br /> other international and national conferences and meetings.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:foss4g2004bkk.jpg]]<br /> <br /> == History of foss4g.org domain name ==<br /> <br /> The foss4g.org (and grass-japan.org) domain was registered to make available to the public the outcome of the project on Internationalization of GRASS5.0 and Mapserver. The project was funded by IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency,Japan). The project was carried in cooperation between Orkney Inc. and Osaka City University(OCU). Apart form software internationalization (i18n), OCU was also responsible for testing, preparation of test data, sample applications and implementation and management of the portal site. The main portal site was made available at www.foss4g.org/FOSS4G/ and also www.grass-japan.org/FOSS4G/<br /> <br /> The domains were registered with Venkatesh Raghavan (aka Venka)and Shinji Masumoto of Osaka City University, Japan in 2003 and the project portal site went online in March 2004. Venkatesh Raghavan (aka Venka)and Shinji Masumoto agreed to donate the foss4g.org domain name to OSGeo on 3rd October 2007 with the understanding that there will be no restrictions on the free usage of the FOSS4G acronym for the legitimate purpose of promoting Free and Open Source Software for Geoinformatics. Subsequent to the transfer of foss4g.org domain name to OSGeo, it was used as a domain name for FOSS4G events since FOSS4G2008 held in Cape Town, South Africa.<br /> <br /> == Organizing FOSS4G ==<br /> The OSGeo [[Conference Committee]] is the steadying factor of FOSS4G over the years. Organization of FOSS4G starts roughly 2 years in advance as the venue rotates around the world when a call for bids is sent out.<br /> <br /> === Local Organizing Committee ===<br /> All the hands-on ground work is done by a volunteering Local Organizing Committees that form each year and have so far always excelled themselves at putting together a great conference. OSGeo is very thankful and excited to see this much effort going into each conference. As of 2007 all conference web sites can be found under the generic OSGeo URL by replacing the year as in http://2010.foss4g.org/ <br /> <br /> === Overview of past conferences and attendances ===<br /> {| border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> !
