		+	== Ari Jolma ==
		+	I nominate Ari Jolma for the OSGeo board elections. Ari is a professor of geoinformatics in Helsinki University of Technology (TKK). He teaches both in the Department of Surveying and in Civil and Environmental Engineering. His teaching includes a range of geoinformatic topics including software architecture for GIS, simulation, hydrology, application development and more. He is also a programmer (released a number of Perl modules) and is focused on spatial modelling, decision support and simulation.
		+
		+	Ari has been actively involved in other organisations as well, including the International Environmental Modelling and Software Society, where he has contributed on the board of directors.
		+
		+	He has been involved with OSGeo from its beginning, particularly contributing to the Education Committee and also representing OSGeo/FOSS at events through presentations and in academic papers.
		+
		+	Based on his knowledge of FOSS & OSGeo software as well as GIS generally, his experience in education and other societies, and his interest in strengthening OSGeo's FOSS message -- it is my pleasure to nominate him for a board position.
