María is well known in the community and a strong vocal presence at many conferences around the world, and her leadership will be an asset going forward with OSGeo. We decided to accompany the OSGeo President with three Vice-Presidents to share all the commitments an OSGeo President has to satisfy and represent OSGeo on events all over the world; we therefore also welcome Helena Mitasova, Angelos Tzotsos, and Jeff McKenna as Vice-Presidents of OSGeo. Thank you to Michael Smith for again volunteering for the role of OSGeo treasurer for another year and continuing to help OSGeo with financial matters.
