Dear All,

I am delighted to learn that Maxi is standing for reelection to the OSGeo Board.
I have know Maxi since the first FOSS4G conference held in Bangkok in 2004.
I was a student that time and the interaction with Maxi was one of the
big motivation for me to take up on FOSS4G for my research and subsequently
in my teaching.

It is really a pleasure to discuss with Maxi as he is full of ideas and completely devoted to the Free and Open Source philosophy. Maxi has implemented several projects in Asia including Thailand and also played a vital role at conferences, workshops and
seminars to spread the use of FOSS4G.

I would like to express my strong support for his nomination and look forward
to his continued contribution to the OSGeo foundation in the capacity as
a Board Member.

Best of luck to Maxi

Maxi has been an active member of OSGeo foundation
and served the community well in various capacities.
He has also help to spread the spirit of FOSS4G the
worldover and I had several occasions to interact
with him at conferences and workshops in Asia and Europe.
About the Technology side story, Gérald Fenoy already introduced enough for his work.

I strongly support Maxi's nomination for re-election as
OSGeo Board Member.

Dear Cro,
please find bellow my nomination.

Hello OSGeo community,
I would like to nominate Massimiliano Cannata aka "Maxi" from Switzerland
as board member.

Maxi is the leader of the geomatic division from the institute of Earth Sciences SUPSI. I had the pleasure of working with Maxi on the OSGeo board and greatly admire his dedication to the OSGeo community, logical approach and a keen knack of getting things done. He is deeply involved in OSGeo and
FOSS4G at various level and is always willing to help and provide his
relevant input on so many different topics, which sounds very important for a board member. He has proved his dedication to OSGeo during his term by
being always constructive in the discussion and taking part of various
committees, such as the United Nations committee for which he is now the co-chair. He is also involved in various projects at various level, the first which come to my mind is the istSOS project that he is leading with his team and his growing community, a workshop for istSOS is handled every year for at least 3 years during the FOSS4G. He is also involved in the ZOO-Project PSC since 2010 and was in the GRASS PSC from 2006 to 2016. His amazing knowledge about how things works in OSGeo or should work for the better, his dedication and his capability to work and discuss openly with different kind of people prove that he is a real asset for the OSGeo board.

His personal OSGeo wiki page can be found here [1]
