---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dirk Frigne <dirk.fri...@geosparc.com> Date: 2014-07-24 11:05 GMT+02:00 Subject: Nomination of Pieter De Graef as Charter member To: c...@osgeo.org Cc: managementsupp...@geosparc.com, Pieter De Graef <pieter.degr...@geomajas.org> Dear CRO, I'd like to nominate Pieter De Graef (contact data in cc) to be an OSGeo Charter Member. Pieter is an active member and chair on the PSC of the Geomajas project [1]. He also is a regular speaker on FOSS4G conferences, having a talk in Cape-town (2008), Sydney (2009), Barcelona (2010), Denver (2011), Nottingham (2013) One of the presentations I could find back online was [2]. Pieter also is an advocate to implement open source solutions into the processes of administrations. He is a project leader in some large integration projects, completely based on open source. A nice example of a public service can be found here [3] [4] among a lot of other examples. Pieter is also responsible for the geomajas section on the liveDVD and is working hard to bring the usability of the framework to a level it becomes very easy to adopt, without giving up on the original goals and standards. I work with Pieter almost 10 years together and I am happy to see he is working really hard to spread the word of FOSS in his environment. I asked Pieter to create an advocate profile asap [1] http://www.osgeo.org/geomajas [2] http://2013.foss4g.org/conf/programme/presentations/68/index.html [3] https://www.dov.vlaanderen.be/bodemviewer/ [4] https://www.dov.vlaanderen.be/rubriek55/ -- Yours sincerely, ir.
