Simon has been quite active in the Quebec Local Chapter since it was created in 2008. He is still today one of the most active members of the steering committee of the local chapter and in this role he has been involved in the organization of multiple editions of the "Rendez-vous OSGeo-Quebec" event and also contributed to the organization of the GeoHack Challenge 2013 in Montreal and is currently working with a team on the organization of a new edition for 2014. His contributions also include speaking at conferences about OSGeo projects/products and open data, as well as training new users on QGIS, MapServer, OpenLayers, PostGIS, OSM and related technologies. Finally, Simon has been promoting the use of OSGeo software in his work at Ministère de la Sécurité Publique, Spatialytics, MGeospatial and now at Mapgears since 2012. Even if he is not very visible at the international level, he is a very active promoter of OSGeo at the local level and has all the attributes expected of a charter member.
