Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2014] Nomination for Steven Feldman

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Seconded. I had the pleasure to talk with Steven at the FOSS4G conference in 
Nottingham last year. Where he and his team did a tremendous job organising 
FOSS4G.

Steven is also very active in discussions at the conference committee and board 
level.

Best regards,
Bart

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Gender bias in nominations

[Eli Adam]

Reclaiming "Like a girl" to no longer be an insult highlights that
language is an important part of our interactions.

While on campaigns, here are another two specifically on tech and
gender, both with major corporate backing [0][1].

Circling back to OSGeo Charter Member nominations, Jeff received a
report that there are not enough female nominees.  The most direct way
to address this is to think of the people you know and interact with,
if some of those people are women and have the positive attributes [2]
in the recommended membership selection criteria, nominate them or
bring that person's contributions and positive attributes to the
attention of someone else who can nominate them.  You can run through
a mental list of who you think already is or should be a Charter
Member and then see if it is true [3] and then nominate them.  You can
do this whether you think that there are enough female nominees or
not.  You can also use this process for men.

While commenting on nominations, I'll share that the best nominations
provided a relevant summary and support it with some links.
Nominations in this form make it easy to evaluate and determine that
the nominee has the positive attributes sought in Charter Members [2].

Best regards, Eli

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Gender bias in nominations

[Paragon Corporation]

I agree with Jo and Maria.  I've always felt welcome in OSGeo primarily
because I share many interests and philosophies with many of you.  I think
gender quotas will in long run do more damage than good. I'd hate to think
people think I am where I am because of my gender or that people let me get
away with stuff just because of my gender.
 
People should be judged on merit and interest primarily and we should focus
more on global expansion, education, and activity funding and the rest will
fall into place.

Agreed. 

On the other hand, no one should be nominated just because of their gender.
In the long run, it doesn't help increasing female numbers. (It won't be the
first time someone thinks I am where I am just because I am female and not
because I worked hard.)

I'm sorry if I am bothering someone, but I am very picky with all this
stuff. It is the eternal discussion about not having enough female in tech
organizations. If we want to have more female on OsGeo, we should go to
school now to have them in OsGeo in a few years :)

Until then, does it really matter? Are we doing things different? I know it
looks very cool to have half and half but, is it really important?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Gender bias in nominations

[Cameron Shorter]

For those interested in gender bias, you might want to look at this 
"Like a girl" campaign, which questions the meaning that "Like a girl" 
has in our language, and suggests redefining it.

Agreed.

On the other hand, no one should be nominated just because of
their gender. In the long run, it doesn't help increasing female
numbers. (It won't be the first time someone thinks I am where I
am just because I am female and not because I worked hard.)

I'm sorry if I am bothering someone, but I am very picky with all
this stuff. It is the eternal discussion about not having enough
female in tech organizations. If we want to have more female on
OsGeo, we should go to school now to have them in OsGeo in a few
years :)

Until then, does it really matter? Are we doing things different?
I know it looks very cool to have half and half but, is it really
important?

María.

To: c...@osgeo.org


Hi Jorge, hi CRO,

I'd like to nominate Christian Mayer for OSGeo charter membership.

Chris (as he is usually called) is involved in the development of
several OpenSource Projects. He is one of the cofounders of the GeoExt
Mobile (GXM) and SHOGun projects and a committer for GeoExt and GeoExt
2. He has provided patches for several other projects (OpenLayers,
MapFish) as well. Furthermore he does beta testing (e.g. for GeoTools
on Windows machines), blogs about tech and is a frequent speaker at
international and German conferences (where he shares his love for
OpenSource). Additionally he also helps users via mailinglists etc.
Lastly I'd like to stress that I personally value the opinions and
thoughts of my friend Chris very much. I am sure that the OSGeo will
profit from him being a future charter member.

Chris confirmed that he'd be glad to be a charter member.

Name: Christian Mayer
Country: Germany


Best regards,
Marc Jansen

Dear CRO,


I'd like to nominate Pieter De Graef (contact data in cc) to be an
OSGeo Charter Member.
Pieter is an active member and chair on the PSC of the Geomajas project [1].
He also is a regular speaker on FOSS4G conferences, having a talk in
Cape-town (2008), Sydney (2009), Barcelona (2010), Denver (2011),
Nottingham (2013)
One of the presentations I could find back online was [2].

Pieter also is an advocate to implement open source solutions into the
processes of administrations. He is a project leader in some large
integration projects, completely based on open source. A nice example
of a public service can be found here [3] [4] among a lot of other
examples.

Pieter is also responsible for the geomajas section on the liveDVD and
is working hard to bring the usability of the framework to a level it
becomes very easy to adopt, without giving up on the original goals
and standards.

I work with Pieter almost 10 years together and I am happy to see he
is working really hard to spread the word of FOSS in his environment.
I asked Pieter to create an advocate profile asap

Jeff is truly passionate about open source geospatial and he brings a
lot of skills to the table (deep technical skills, project management,
business skills). He is one of the driving forces behind the GeoNode
project [1], an open source geospatial content management system based
on technologies such as pyCSW and GeoServer. In his professional

OpenGeo / Boundless up until recently. Jeff is also very involved in

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Gender bias in nominations

[Andrea Giacomelli]

right...I said "for instance" to identify a "population" - does OSGEO have
a feel -or even better a number- of the gender proportion in the "OSGEO
population?

in the 2007-2010 times for GFOSS.it we used to ask about gender (or rather:
it was easier to detect the information for members of the Italian
chapter), and we used to present these statistics in events etc. so as to
give different angles on our communitiy, together with age ranges, and
other simple "census parameters", and this type of view was appreciated.

Not sure if this practice is still going on...

I was just considering that if we don't know what it the actual gender
proportion in the whole OSGEO community, the gender proportion in
nominations for Charter members may be interpreted more subjectively.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Gender bias in nominations

[Margherita Di Leo]

Hi,

thank you Jeff for having raised this matter, I find it really interesting
for the sake of pure data analysis and discussion. I agree with Maria
except one single point: is it really important? I think it is. As Maria
points out, I agree it is not from OSGeo side that the problem should be
addressed, because i don't see any barriers for women approaching OSGeo. On
the contrary, it is one of the kindest and welcoming environment. But I
think that it would be very interesting to analyse the real causes why
women apparently seem not to be attracted by these subjects. I think that
there are deeper sociological and practical reasons behind. It would be an
interesting exercise to explore the correlation between number of females
in open source/technology/science with some drivers such as the perspective
of working stability offered by different countries, the facilities for
working mothers offered by private and public sectors and so on. I think
that exploring such reasons in detail would really help to improve society
and to offer real "equal" opportunities to every citizen.

Best,
madi

I agree with Maria. This remembers me some past discussions while
creating OSGeo-Women mailing list.

At first we can say that no one is preventing women to enter OSGeo
jsut because they are women. But waiting the balance to change without
doing nothing is in my opinion not the way to go. Also forcing a female
quota like some countries do for elections is not the solution, because
it gives gender more importance than merit.

My idea is to give everyone the same possibilities, without giving
gender/language/etc predefined choices. Therefore I really like the idea
of talking about OSGeo in schools - and OSGeo education group is working
in that direction, even if not (yet?) to younger kids. Of course this
is an approach that will bring results in a long time, but I feel it is
the strongest.

Best,

Anne

I totally agree with Maria. As a female member of OSGeo I don't really feel
that my gender matters in the slightest. I'm far more concerned about a
bias towards people from the US or Northern/Western Europe if we are trying
to be truly global.

Agreed.

On the other hand, no one should be nominated just because of their gender.
In the long run, it doesn't help increasing female numbers. (It won't be
the first time someone thinks I am where I am just because I am female and
not because I worked hard.)

I'm sorry if I am bothering someone, but I am very picky with all this
stuff. It is the eternal discussion about not having enough female in tech
organizations. If we want to have more female on OsGeo, we should go to
school now to have them in OsGeo in a few years :)

Until then, does it really matter? Are we doing things different? I know it
looks very cool to have half and half but, is it really important?

Dear OSGeo community,

I'd like to nominate Jukka Rahkonen, from Finland, for OSGeo charter membership.

Jukka is one of the few people who belong to several PSCs of our OSGeo 
projects, namely Geoserver since 2012 and GDAL since 2013 (and among the very 
few to make the bridge between the Java and C/C++ tribes !)

As far as GDAL is concerned, Jukka is one of our most active power users since 
many years. You've probably noticed him many times answering to questions from 
other users on the mailing list, testing bleeding edge trunk or doing precise 
bug reports. It was a pleasure for me to finally meet him in person at 
Nottingham last year.

Jukka is also involved into other OSGeo (or related) communities such as 
MapServer, TinyOWS or Spatialite, which gives him a quite broad vision in the 
geospatial field.

Jukka also maintains Finnish translations for OpenJUMP and Kosmo GIS and has 
given a workshop on GeoPackage in the Finnish OSGeo seminar this year.

I'll second Dave's nomination. Besides the work Dave Bitner mentions, Dave has 
been a regular presenter at state GIS/LIS meetings on topics ranging from 
MapServer to Python. More recently he was one of the key technical resources in 
the launch of a new state-level geospatial data portal (gisdata.mn.gov) that 
uses CKAN, PostGIS, Python and other open source tools.

Hi,

I've found GeoPrisma (http://geoprisma.org) being a promising web

Now it seems to be abandoned since over a year.
Is this true?

account, if you wanted to interface with various OWS servers and it
did always really great job. But to have something neutral, so that

I also would like to second this nomination.

Iván is a truly geonerd in all things GEO and NERD (he is one of the
guys that holds an @geonerd.org  email accounts
so this is LITERAL) and
also contributes with his unique perspective to everything that
catches his attention.

The FOS[S|D]4G world wouldn't be the same without his contributions.
