 As the new President of OSGeo, Frank Warmerdam brings many years of geospatial experience and has been involved in the OSGeo foundation since its inception.  He is known for his work with the GDAL/OGR translation library, which has become the backbone of the spatial industry.  Daniel Morissette is continuing the role of Treasurer and brings practical experience as a business owner to this key role as well as over a decade of experience as a technical contributor and community leader in the MapServer project and OSGeo.  Michael Gerlek is returning to the role of Secretary and brings a passion for supporting OSGeo both locally and globally.
-About his new role as OSGeo President Frank Warmerdam says, "OSGeo has a fantastic set of volunteers, projects and an energized board and I believe we can continue to move forward on many fronts in the coming year.  I can't thank Arnulf Christl, our past president, enough for his tireless work.  While I can't fill his shoes as a world trotting speaker on behalf of OSGeo, I believe we can as a community continue to be everywhere."
