Hi all, The nominations for the OSGeo Board of Directors has started[1]. Please take a minute to understand what the board actually does[2]. A director should plan to spend several hours a week on OSGeo business in order to do a good job. The current board members will know best. Maybe you could please also look over this page and add things that are on your agenda but are not well reflected on this Wiki page.
To nominate a candidate for the board please first confirm with the person that they would like to stand for election as a Board member. Then send an email to c...@osgeo.org CCing the candidate by 12:00 GMT on Saturday 23 August 2014[3] consisting of: - name and e-mail - current country of residence - a paragraph describing why you think this person would make a good Board member. Remember that only Charter Members are eligible for a seat on the Board and for voting but that *anybody* can *nominate* a board member. Thank you.
