Hi all, I don’t want to flood the list once again. However I’m here to second the nomination of Stephen Mather. He has contributed much to PostGIS and OpenDroneMap projects. Also he has carried out many outreach activities including workshops, seminars and talks. He will be a great asset to our community.

Best regards, Vasile & Jeff 2017 OSGeo Elections CROs [1] https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/New_Member_Nominations_2017 -------- Forwarded Message -------- Nominee: Stephen Mather - USA Stephen has likely been most recently visible within the OSGeo community as the founder and an ongoing contributor to OpenDroneMap -- for which he received supportive grant funding in 2016; on which he has given numerous workshops, presentations, and trainings since its development; and through which he has partnered with a number of people and agencies to use geospatial technologies for humanitarian efforts and other applications in education, governmental work, and more. Through mentoring within and beyond his professional role, Stephen encourages the development of geospatial skills in a variety of folk, and has recently served as a both mentor and a teacher in cooperative programs in Musanze, Rwanda in addition to partnering with students at the State University Zanzibar and the University of Rwanda on geospatial projects. Stephen is very active in outreach efforts; the last three years have included workshops and presentations all over the globe on open source geospatial software and systems (with a notable concentration on drone systems/remote sensing applications) -- events include FOSS4G (2017,2015,2014), State of the Map Africa (2017), FOSS4G Africa (2017), State of the Map US (2016). Technically, Stephen brings a wide range of expertise in across GIS packages/protocols/libraries, remote sensing, and variety of programming languages/libraries and is one of the co-authors of the PostGIS Cookbook. I believe that with a combination of strong technical skills and a dedication to outreach/education in diverse communities, Stephen has brought a great deal to the OSGeo community for years, and will continue to do so. -Kristin Bott _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
