*nomination:*
Ben Caradoc-Davies is a longstanding member of the GeoServer
community - first with his role at the Australian research group
"CSIRO" and more recently as a independent contractor from is native
New Zealand.
As a contributor Ben has demonstrated excellent leadership
(volunteering with the GeoServer Project Steering Committee and
GeoTools Project Management Committee) and mentoring of new
contributors by answering questions, offering encouragement, backed
by kind words and constructive reviews.
Ben is exceptionally generous with his time: willing to take on the
day to day challenges of running a project, leading meetings,
issuing multiple releases a year, and stepping in for emergencies.
The team has come to depend on Ben's dedication to quality watching
out for the build servers and monitoring the travis automated
builds.
Ben is also takes on some of the harder open source challenges for
the foundation as a whole. In my time as an OSGeo board member Ben
has helped clearly articulated our legal questions, and taken part
in meetings with our legal council.
I also had the privilege of organizing a foss4g-au event with Ben
and follow his open source advocacy work in Australia.
Although it is perhaps not a character reference I personally
appreciate Ben's coding and communication skills. His ability to
contribute code in a consistent, professional manner, and his
communication skills make working on the GeoServer project that much
easier.
