I would like to express my support for Martin's nomination. He is currently the most active developer of GRASS GIS, not only leading the development and contributing the code but also working with students at the university and as mentor for GSoC. He has done fantastic work with organizing local Open source GIS conferences and editing/publishing peer reviewed proceedings (in addition to already mentioned GRASS community sprint), so he would be great to have on the conference and education committees.
