Dear board, Congratulations for the new president and the three vice-presidents! With this team we can be better officially represented all over the globe.
Also congratulations for Michael and Astrid as they volunteer to take up a resposible role in our organisation. And last but not least, congratulations to Jody for taking the responsibility for the position as chair of the board. I am sure this is the result of a strong team, and I express my trust and support to OSGeo to continue the good work of spreading the message about a more open and transparant world! Dirk.
