Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nominations reminder and campaign proposal

[Jorge Sanz]

Thank you all for your suggestions and feedback.

We'll have a week of campaigning and discussion once the candidates
list is closed. I've added a section for this on the elections page[1]
and created a page following last year template[2].

I'd ask candidates that once they are happy with their text to forward
it to Discuss so they can open a conversation if needed. The template
is just that, a framework of questions that candidates can answer in
their own way.

Voting will be delayed one week then (calendar has been updated on the
Elections page).

Candidates can start publishing their manifestos from this Wednesday 21st (UTC).

Please let me know if there's anything else we can do to improve the process.

Best regards
Jorge

[OSGeo-Discuss] UN Open GIS Capacity Building Initiative

[Maria Antonia Brovelli]

Dear All

tomorrow we will start a first GeoAcademy QGIS Course in the frame of UN Open 
GIS Capacity Building.

We will have four editions (one every month) for the UN Staff of Operational 
Field (Peacekeeping Missions).

GeoAcademy will be strongly involved as well as some colleagues of Universities 
and I want to thank Rick Smith, Tom Mueller and Youngok Kang, who are the first 
tutors. I want also to let you know that many other educators have given 
generously their availability and they will help in next editions.

Diego Gonzales of UN also deserves a very big thank for the wonderful 
co-chairing of this capacity building working group.


In my opinion the general UN Open GIS initiative aiming at approaching UN to 
Open Source is relevant for our communities (both OSGeo and G4A). It means that 
UN will start using open source GIS and this gives new opportunities to all 
people involved in open source development, documenting, teaching and training.

It is true that few pieces of software have been taken into account so far. 
But, please, consider that this initiative started in March and all this 
process requires time to be implemented. And the time for attending courses of 
UN Operational Field staff  is limited.


I will keep you informed.

Have a pleasant and fruitful week.

Maria

Strong +1 here.
Actually I proposed the same two years ago [1].
"So here is my proposal:

For next year:
- Make something like a "campaining period" a part of the election.
Give candidates an official time to explain their plans and have room
for discussion afterwards.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nomination for OSGeo Board: Marc Vloemans

[Jeffrey Johnson]

+1 on this nomination. I've only had the pleasure of interacting with
Marc recently in Bonn, but I believe he is the exact kind of person we
need to take OSGeo to the next level with a clear, focused and well
executed marketing strategy.

[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nomination for OSGeo Board: Marc Vloemans

[Jeff McKenna]

Forwarding Marc Vloemans nomination for the Board of Directors by 
Gert-Jan van der Weijden.


- on behalf of
  CRO 2016


 Forwarded Message 

I would like to nominate Marc Vloemans for the Board of Directors of the 
OSGeo.org foundation.


I know Marc now for approximately 10 years. The first years simply as 
fellow-Dutchmen working in spatial IT in The Netherlands. But since Marc 
joined the Board of Directors of the Dutch Local Chapter "OSgeo.nl" in 
2015, and since we both were members of the Local Organizing Committee 
of FOSS4G in Bonn this year, I have worked with Marc more closely than 
ever before.


I guess a  lot of you (the participants of FOSS4G) can't have missed 
Marc since he was the central person in manning the OSGeo.org booth at 
FOSS4G.


He has a broad management experience in "spreading the open source word" 
in both commercial and public organizations, not just in Europe but also 
in other continents. But his organizational experience is not tied to 
just our well-known FOSS4G ecosystem.


Therefore I think Marc can build bridges to other organisations and 
ecosystems, and thus bring OSgeo.org a step further in its maturity.


And besides that, I know Marc as someone you can have a good beer/talk & 
laugh with!

Gert-Jan
