It is our pleasure to nominate Sanghee Shin
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Sanghee), from South Korea, for the
OSGeo Board.  Most are aware of Sanghee as the passionate chair of the
upcoming FOSS4G-Seoul event (http://2015.foss4g.org/), but Sanghee has
been involved in Open Source geo for a long time.  Locally, he is the
founding member of the OSGeo Korean Chapter, which chapter actually
hosts a local FOSS4G-Korea event every year since 2011.  Sanghee is also
the C.E.O. and President of Gaia3D in Seoul (http://www.gaia3d.com/).

Sanghee (secretly) commutes often between the UK and Seoul, so he is
well aware of the global geospatial community.  His strong business
sense and his focus on Asia gives the Board an interesting perspective,
and a much needed perspective as our local chapters are so active there.
 Sanghee is very honoured to accept this nomination, so please welcome
him onto the OSGeo Board of Directors for 2015.

Venka Raghavan, Markus Neteler, & Jeff McKenna

It is our pleasure to nominate Venka Raghavan
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Venkatesh_Raghavan), from Japan, for the
OSGeo Board.  It is hard to put into (few) words, Venka's influence on
FOSS and geo.  The 2012 winner of the Sol Katz Award, he created the
term “FOSS4G” back in 2004, using it as the name of an international
event in Thailand, and since then he has promoted FOSS4G all over the
globe.  He was also one of the organizers of the recent FOSS4G-Asia
event this past December.

Venka has also been directly involved in OSGeo since its inception, in
fact he was on the first OSGeo Board of Directors from 2006 to 2007.  He
is also a long-time board member of the OSGeo Japan chapter.

A professor at Osaka City University in Japan, Venka constantly
encourages his students to leverage FOSS4G in all of their research.
His influence in Asia wide reaching, being easily the most influential
FOSS4G leader there.  Venka also helps organize the GIS-IDEAS Symposium
every 2 years in Vietnam, which is always FOSS4G-based.

Venka is enthused to be a part of the OSGeo Board again, helping a
foundation that he helped form at the beginning.  We could not be more
please and honoured to nominate Venka for the Board of Directors.

It is my pleasure to nominate Dirk Frigne

Dirk also feels strongly about building local OSGeo communities.  He
recently helped form the new Belgium local chapter
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Belgium), and he is actively trying to
formalize a European representation of OSGeo.

Dirk understands the industry today, our community, the software, and is
willing to help guide the growth of the foundation. I feel strongly that
he would be a wonderful addition to the OSGeo Board of Directors.

Dear members of the OSGeo community,

After a period of week to vote, we close the elections system to
confirm and share the results.

*All* the candidates[1][2] are accepted as all of them:

- received a greater number of positive votes than negative.
- received more than a 5% of positive votes over the total number of
votes.

Hence, it's my pleasure to welcome our 37 candidates to the OSGeo
Charter Membership, increasing its size to a total of 281 individuals.
Congratulations!

New members, I encourage you all to update your wiki profiles with the
Charter Member badge[3], adding yourselves to the category[4] and
finally if you have not yet done so, add your profile to the OSGeo
Advocates list[5].

We will update the official list[6], publish the detailed elections
results, pass to the secretary the revised
contacts, and subscribe the new members to the charter-members list[7]
as soon as possible.

Venkatesh Raghavan 

It is our pleasure to nominate Venka Raghavan
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Venkatesh_Raghavan), from Japan, for the
OSGeo Board. It is hard to put into (few) words, Venka's influence on
FOSS and geo. The 2012 winner of the Sol Katz Award, he created the
term “FOSS4G” back in 2004, using it as the name of an international
event in Thailand, and since then he has promoted FOSS4G all over the
globe. He was also one of the organizers of the recent FOSS4G-Asia
event this past December.

Venka has also been directly involved in OSGeo since its inception, in
fact he was on the first OSGeo Board of Directors from 2006 to 2007. He
is also a long-time board member of the OSGeo Japan chapter.

A professor at Osaka City University in Japan, Venka constantly
encourages his students to leverage FOSS4G in all of their research.
His influence in Asia wide reaching, being easily the most influential
FOSS4G leader there. Venka also helps organize the GIS-IDEAS Symposium
every 2 years in Vietnam, which is always FOSS4G-based.

Venka is enthused to be a part of the OSGeo Board again, helping a
foundation that he helped form at the beginning. We could not be more
please and honoured to nominate Venka for the Board of Directors.

Dear CRO,

It is a great honor for me to nominate Prof. Helena Mitasova [1]
for the 2015 OSGeo Board Elections.

- Prof. Helena Mitasova
- USA
- Prof. Helena Mitasova [1] hardly needs any introduction. Her activities
that encompass the entire gamut of the OSGeo Foundation goals, speak for
themselves. She was awarded the Sol Katz Award in 2010 for her long
standing contribution to the OSGeo Foundation and FOSS4G communities.
Recently, she has been one of the driving forces behind the Geo4All [2]
initiative. Her invaluable experience in area of Education and Research will
be a great asset to the OSGeo Foundation Board.

I thank her for agreeing to be nominated for the 2015 OSGeo Board elections.

Forwarding Anita Graser nomination to the board of directors by
Lene Fischer and Jeff McKenna.

Best,
Vasile
CRO 2015


It is our pleasure to nominate Anita Graser
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:AnitaGraser), from Austria, for the
OSGeo Board.  Anita needs no introduction to the community, as she is
very visible through her work on the QGIS Steering Committee, as a core
contributor, and working very hard to promote Open Source geo through
workshops, tutorials, mailing lists, FOSS4G events, and just about every
possible way. She has a lot of experience managing and building
communities, and she is actually quite honoured to be considered for the
OSGeo Board.

Anita's presence on the Board would be a great addition to the foundation.

We excitingly nominate Anita for the OSGeo Board of Directors.

Dear members of the OSGeo community,

After a period of week to vote, we close the elections system to
confirm and share the results.

*All* the candidates[1][2] are accepted as all of them:

- received a greater number of positive votes than negative.
- received more than a 5% of positive votes over the total number of votes.

Hence, it's my pleasure to welcome our 37 candidates to the OSGeo
Charter Membership, increasing its size to a total of 281 individuals.
Congratulations!

New members, I encourage you all to update your wiki profiles with the
Charter Member badge[3], adding yourselves to the category[4] and
finally if you have not yet done so, add your profile to the OSGeo
Advocates list[5].

We will update the official list[6], publish the detailed elections

contacts, and subscribe the new members to the charter-members list[7]
as soon as possible.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Help with booth at FOSS4G-Seoul

Hey Heegu!

I think I see you and Sanghee more than my own family, ha! :)

Thanks for providing the monitor and baggage tags.  I also made a note 
about printing on the wiki.


Everyone: does anyone have an OSGeo banner they can bring?  Please speak 
up, we need at least one banner for the booth.


Thanks!

It's getting super busy here! We're almost ready to serve all of

2015. :)

We will bring these items to you

- 24 inch LCD monitor
- OSGeo baggage tag that Sanghee posted a couple of weeks ago

Also, we can print out some materials for you. Please send image file(or
psd file) to me if you want to print out and send out at your booth!

Thank you very much,

Hi everyone!

We have a booth reserved for FOSS4G-Seoul, in the exhibition area of the
K-Hotel venue.  Please help out however you can, whether it is bringing
materials, monitors, or helping to staff the booth.  Likely the
materials/monitors will have to come from local community members in
Asia.  (thanks again to all of the effort that the Cascadia chapter /
CUGOS did for last year's OSGeo Booth, and the superhuman Alan Glennon
of course)  Sign up or make a note of the materials you can help with
at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2015_OSGeo_Booth

Thanks!

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2015] Board Nomination for Anita Graser

[Nimalika Fernando]

Dear all,

I strongly support Anita's nomination. She is a very active contributor to
OSgeo  community, sharing her knowledge always. I can remember she produced
a wonderful summary of LBS conference 2014  - a work which cannot be done
without much commitment for community work.
