Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] advise on WYSIWYG sld editor
[...] Udig - probably the best sld editor. I'm using udig 1.2.2 on a mac but for some reason my rules are not persistently saved when I close a udig session. Quick note, since I am abroad. There is a one-click sld file fixing button. If you have problems with style persistence (which sounds strange), you push that one and it will generate the sld file near the layer's file. From that point on it will have to be persistent :) Cheers, Andrea Are there other WYSIWYG options for creating SLD out there?

Michael also co-founded CUGOS, the regional OSGeo chapter in the Pacific Northwest. He is actively involved in many open source GIS projects, and now dedicates himself to full time consulting work in the open source GIS space through his company Flaxen Geo Consulting. He has a long history in participating with the OGC and could bring unique experience in that arena to the board. Most importantly his participation in the OSGeo board would bring great industry insight, leadership experience, and a true dedication to furthering the OSGeo mission. I strongly encourage the OSGeo community to consider Michael as a valuable addition to the board and the OSGeo family. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Mpg Thanks for your consideration.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Nominating Thierry Badard
I nominate Thierry Badard to serve on the OSGeo Board of Directors. His involvement in OSGeo to date shows an encouraging commitment to advancing OSGeo's mission on many fronts. While primarily focused on the academic side through Laval University, he is also active with the OSGeo Francophone chapter and with several software projects (most notable GeoKettle). The combination of his global outlook, educational experience and, lately, with business exposure through his work with Spatialytics gives him a powerful perspective on bringing many groups of people together. I've met Thierry several times and had encouraging discussions about how to grow the organisation and continue supporting people and projects that are connecting through OSGeo. He also worked for IGN France, so has some inside understanding of a national mapping agency, which I believe, is an increasingly important part of OSGeo's user base. More from his Linkedin Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/thierrybadard Dr. Thierry Badard is professor in geoinformatics at the Department of geomatics sciences of Laval University in Quebec City (Canada). He heads the GeoSOA research group and is a full time researcher of the Centre for Research in Geomatics (CRG). Former member of the steering committee of the CRG, he is also a regular researcher of the GEOIDE Network of Centres of Excellence in geomatics. He has more than 15 years of experience and he has been involved and has led national and international RD projects of importance. His research interest deals with geospatial (Web) Services Oriented Architectures (SOA), location-based and context-aware web services and apps, geospatial Business Intelligence (GeoBI) and geo-analytical tools and the design of intelligent mobile applications for better decision support. He acts as a chair, editor and reviewer for numerous international journals and scientific conferences and has already an important record of scientific contributions. Dr. Thierry Badard is also actively involved in the geospatial free and open source community. He is developer, administrator and project coordinator of the GeoKettle (http://www.geokettle.org), GeoMondrian (http://www.geo-mondrian.org), SOLAPLayers (http://www.solaplayers.org) and GeOxygene (http://oxygene-project.sourceforge.net), open source projects. He is an OSGeo charter member and acts as a member of the OSGeo conference committee and a reviewer for the OSGeo Journal. Till last year, he was in charge of the free software commission in the OSGeo Francophone local chapter. He is a founding co-chairs the OSGeo Quebec local chapter and a founding co-chair of the ICA (International Cartographic Association) commission on open source geospatial technologies (http://ica-opensource.scg.ulaval.ca). He has also recently co-founded Spatialytics, a new company specialised in open source GeoBI where he acts as CTO.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Nominating Mark Lucas
I nominate Mark Lucas for the OSGeo Board of Directors. With over 25 years experience in the geospatial and remote sensing fields, he has lots to offer, especially his enthusiasm for OSGeo and helping teams work together. He works as Principal Scientist for http://www.radiantblue.com/ where OSSIM and open source geospatial are an increasingly important component. Mark is no stranger to both OSGeo and the Board, having helped found OSGeo at the first meeting and serving a term as a Director early in the life of the organisation. He oversees the OSSIM project and actively helps integrate open source within government. His perspective on gov't systems and open source adoption is the clearest pictures we can get. He has been crucial in writing reports and recommendations that have led to further adoption of open source within the U.S. defense and intelligence sector. His involvement in the geospatial business sphere provides good insight into where the industry is heading and how OSGeo can help encourage further uptake of our projects. I've spent enjoyable hours brainstorming with and working alongside Mark and think he is an excellent fit to help for another term on the Board. He also works with the Open Source Software Institute and more. I'm sure his skills at coordinating the launch of Titan rockets will help propel OSGeo forward too! His profile on linkedin.com includes many telling recommendations, including Gary's encouraging comment about his previous term: Mark showed a capacity for collaboration and creating an environment for it with the founding of OSGeo that was crucial to getting the foundation running. He was one of the most active people involved, and without his positive energy we would not have accomplished as much as a team in creating that groundbreaking organization. His nomination from 2006 holds true today: http://www.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2006-March/000205.html ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
