-* Alex is an excessively active contributor to the numerous facets of OSGeo. You have likely seen him on one of the many OSGeo IRC channel he haunts, regularly offering advice to newbies, contributing to conversations and volunteering to take on tasks. I've seen him contribute significantly over the last couple of years to the core development of the OSGeo-Live project and the marketing committee. He also helps out of the System Administration Committee, acts as a representative at numerous trade fairs, helped found the Californian OSGeo chapter, helped develop numerous Geography academic courses which use a variety of FOSS applications and he has contributed directly to QGIS. Alex brings a valuable "user perspective" with him, as he has a degree in Wildlife Biology and field experience with State and Federal agencies.

 * Simon is indeed an active member of the geospatial free and open source community in the Quebec Province. As an employee of the Quebec Ministry of Public Security (MSP), he has contributed to the implementation of several innovative and effective geospatial systems based on free and open source technologies, such as G.O.LOC (http://geomsp.msp.gouv.qc.ca/portail_geo/goloc.htm) and SAG 911 (http://www.quebecgeographique.gouv.qc.ca/approfondir/bibliotheque/geoinfo/geoinfo-mars-2010.asp).  He is to my mind one the person responsible for the successful transition initiated by the MSP for the use in its every day missions of geospatial free and open source technologies. Based on these successful initiatives, the geomatics department of the MSP acts now as a pioneer among the different public organisations in the adoption of open source technologies in the Quebec Province.  In 2009, Simon has also been elected as a board member of the steering committee of the OSGeo Quebec local chapter. He has been one of the co-organisers of the 1st rendez-vous OSGeo-Quebec   (http://rendez-vous-osgeo-qc.org/2010/) which have gathered about 100 attendees from different organisations and offered the Quebec community to meet and discuss with different members of the OSGeo international (see http://rendez-vous-osgeo-qc.org/2010/conferenciers/).  Recently, Simon has joined Spatialytics (http://www.spatialytics.com), a new startup in Quebec city which at developing a commercial open source Geospatial BI (Business Intelligence) Suite.
