He is a member of the MapServer PSC and is also one of the instigators behind the PDAL project, the GDAL of Point Clouds. In addition to his experience with the OSGeo projects and community, he would bring to the board the perspective of government organizations.<br /> <br /> He is a FOSS4G regular (he has not missed one since the 2003 MapServer Users Meeting), and an active participant and supporter of the FOSS4G WMS Benchmarking exercise each year.<br /> <br /> Finally, Mike has been following the activities of the board for the last few years (at least), often present as a quiet observer in IRC board meetings and even in one of the face to face meetings, so I believe he is well aware of the way OSGeo operates and prepared for the challenges of serving on the board.<br /> <br /> See also http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Msmitherdc<br /> <br /> * [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-August/012243.html Seconded] by [[Jeff McKenna]]<br /> * [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-August/012245.html Support] by [[Steve Lime]]<br /> * [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-August/012267.html Support] by [[Doug Newcomb]]<br /> ---------------------------------<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == [[User:Djay|Gérald Fenoy]] ==<br /> <br /> ; Nomination by: Maria Brovelli<br /> <br /> Dear All<br /> <br /> I would like to nominate Gérald FENOY for the OSGeo Board of Directors<br /> elections.<br /> <br /> Gérald is promoting, using and developing FOSS4G with passion since 2004.<br /> He has a very global and generic vision of both the Foundation<br /> activities and its software projects.<br /> Gérald has a keen interest in technical innovation which he manages to<br /> leverage for both community and business related issues.<br /> <br /> Gérald is committed to Open Source and is very willing to help the OSGeo<br /> projects grow.

He also contributed to several projects<br /> through the years including GDAL/OGR, MapServer and PostGIS, with<br /> patches, translations, ideas and more.<br /> <br /> Gérald is also a regular at the FOSS4G conference since 2006, where he<br /> often gives workshops and talks. He also participated and helped many<br /> times in several local chapters in Europe, Asia and Africa.<br /> <br /> Gérald collaborates passionately with many Universities both in Europe <br /> and in Asia.<br /> <br /> Gérald will be a great addition to the OSGeo Board of Directors.

Jáchym has already served one year on the Board, having<br /> graciously stepped into an empty position that needed filling. Coming<br /> from the Czech Republic in Central Europe he has brought a much needed<br /> global perspective into the Board activities. He is of course very<br /> active at the project level, and has been one of the community leaders<br /> helping to create and bring FOSS4G-CEE around the region.<br /> <br /> I strongly recommend that we bring Jáchym back onto the OSGeo Board.<br /> <br /> [1] http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/J%C3%A1chym_%C4%8Cepick%C3%BD<br /> <br /> * [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-August/012210.html Seconded] by [[Michael Gerlek]]<br /> * [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-August/012212.html Support] by [[Daniel Morissette]]<br /> * [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-August/012211.html Support] by [[Peter Baumann]]<br /> * [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-August/012213.html Support] by [[Maria Brovelli]] <br /> * [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-August/012214.html Support] by [[Marco Lechner]]<br /> <br /> -----------------<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == [[Jorge Sanz]] ==<br /> <br /> ; Nomination by: Jeff McKenna<br /> <br /> I would like to nominate Jorge Sanz[1] for the 2013 OSGeo Board<br /> elections. Jorge is a very active community member from Spain, with his<br /> hands into many different parts of OSGeo. Not only at the project<br /> level, but he is an active representative and speaker of the Spanish<br /> Language Local Chapter (OSGeo-ES), as well as through his local area of<br /> Valencia.<br /> <br /> I've had the pleasure of listening to some of his presentations, and I<br /> see Jorge as an excellent global representative of OSGeo. I have no<br /> doubt that through his experience, his confidence, and his leadership,<br /> that he will be able to give important input into the shape of the OSGeo<br /> foundation.<br /> <br /> I strongly recommend that Jorge become a member of the OSGeo Board.<br /> <br /> <br /> [1] http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Jorge_Sanz<br /> <br /> <br /> PS. thank you to Jorge for accepting this nomination during his<br /> vacation.
