Arnulf Christl is one of the founding members of OSGeo and took an
active part in developing the foundation.
In the past two years he was active as director, chair of the Marketing
Committee and as member of the Incubation Committee he mentored the
GRASS GIS project through incubation.
He actively helped to build the brand OSGeo in Germany and at European
level by promoting the foundation at various events and conferences
including the OSGeo Park at the annual Intergeo trade show, the LinuxTag
community event and the AGIT conference in Salzburg, Austria.
As "creative leader" of the FOSSGIS (localized FOSS4G) he significantly
helped building the conference to become the main German language Free
and Open Source GIS event in the region.
A couple of years ago he launched the Mapbender project, which became
the first OSGeo project to graduat. Although he does not actively
produce code anymore he still develops the architecture design, future
development and does the legal work.
As member of the OAB (OGC Architecture Board) and as WhereGroup
representative in in the OGC Planning Committee with full voting rights
he helps bridge the cultural gap between both organisations.
Through his work in both organisations and his interest in Free and Open
Source GIS Software Arnulf became a leading consultant for spatial data
infrastructures and GIS solutions. As founder and CEO of the WhereGroup
GmbH & Co. KG he has a vital commercial interest in building sustainable
business models around Free Software licensing and Open Source
development models.
Taking all of the above points into account and knowing him to be a
vocal and avid supporter of OSGeo I am sure that he will be a valuable
member of the OSGeo Board of Directors for another term. I am pleased to
nominate Arnulf Christl as director and hope you share my views!
Best regards,
Torsten
