Thanks Vasile & Jeff: In today's osgeo meeting we discussed how to handle nominations that are light on details (some nominations only work if you know the person).
Can I ask the people who have seconded a nomination with a "+1" to provide additional details on what positive attribute the candidate displays in the our community to be considered as a charter member. For reference here is the positive attributes <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Membership_Process#Positive_Attributes> list from the membership process page: *Recommended membership selection criteria include:* - *Members should believe in the general goals of the Foundation. To support and promote the use of free and open source geospatial software, education and data in a collaborative manner.* - *Previous participation in or support of OSGeo activities* - *The person should already have made a contribution to free and open source geospatial software, education or open data.* - *The person should be willing to put in time and effort on the Foundation, perhaps joining committee(s), or volunteering in some other way that gets the Foundation going.* - *Members should be prepared to work constructively and positively towards the goals of the Foundation. Good teamwork skills are an asset.* *Membership nominations should strive to promote diversity:* - *Nominate members representing a diversity of geographic regions, diversity of projects, diversity of programming languages.* - *Nominate members representing and diversity of interests (e.g., corporate, hobbyist, educational, scientific).* - *Nominate members representing a diversity of humanity including gender and race * Thank you to everyone taking part in the nomination process, it is great to see our community growing! -- Jody Garnett On 7 September 2017 at 13:44, Jeff McKenna <jmcke...@gatewaygeomatics.com> wrote: > Hi everyone! > > A reminder that today is the last day for nominations, so that means > "anywhere on Earth" today you can still submit nominations to > c...@osgeo.org Note that we will accept *confirmations* from these > nominees for another 24 hours after that (each nominee must accept the > nomination by replying to our direct message). > > Thanks all!
