Astrid Emde was honoured with the 2018 Sol Katz Award, presented on 29
August 2018, during the gala dinner of the FOSS4G event in Dar es
Salaam. This was the 14th year of the award.
Astrid has been involved in FOSS for a long time, starting through her
early Mapbender work at the CCGIS company in Germany, to becoming one
of the leaders of the Mapbender team at the WhereGroup company, and
now the backbone of OSGeo (working with the OSGeoLive team, helping
with the OSGeo news items, organizing OSGeo Board meetings, processing
license agreements as the OSGeo Secretary role, and becoming a true
leader as an OSGeo Board of Director). Astrid is very active
organizing events such as FOSSGIS events, the FOSSGIS e.V. local
chapter events, preparing OSGeo booth materials, and helping organize
code sprints all around the world.
Astrid is constantly working behind the scenes for the community, and
her calm nature has helped many across the world to feel comfortable
and grow.
On behalf of the OSGeo and FOSSGIS communities we congratulate and
thank Astrid for all of her passion. Thank you Astrid, you deserve this.
