Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Nominating Jody Garnett to serve another term as an OSGeo Board member

[andrea antonello]

I also would like to second Jody's nomination.

Jody has the right mind and heart for this. He understands the big
picture and inter-community issues... and even if I don't always agree
with him, I trust him with doing what is best. :-)

Cheers,
Andrea

[Ben Caradoc-Davies]

I second this nomination. In addition to his many other successes, Jody 
is an outstanding mentor and recruiter of new OSGeo participants, and 
has by example taught others to do the same. Jody has grown OSGeo's most 
valuable resource: people.


Kind regards,
Ben.

I have worked with him (And others) on the rebrand And new website for OSGeo. 
As member of the Marketing Committee he has taken point on one of our greatest

His energy, patience, persistence and management of the project have been

Even the 'Angels' are rooting for Maria for her intrepid OS geospatial passion, 
thank you Angelos! 

I too second or third Maria into OSGeo infinity (if I am able from my current

Maria has spent a lifetime serving the interests of OSGeo even before OSGeo was 
OSGeo. 

What more can we say for the Board in becoming stronger than "Andiamo Maria

Name: María Arias de Reyna
Country of Residence: Spain

It is my pleasure and honour to nominate María Arias de Reyna[1] for the
Board of Directors of OSGeo. You may remember that I nominated María last
year for the Board, but since then she has gone on to give several great
keynote talks at various events around the world, bringing much-needed
discussions of diversity and sharing to the forefront of events.

María is well known in the OSGeo community for her relentless efforts as a
core contributor for the GeoNetwork project, and for her longtime
contributions to the SIG Libre conference (the Spanish FOSS4G). Locally she
is very active through the OSGeo microchapter network Geoinquietos, and more
recently also through the Spanish national geomatics association, AESIG. She
works for GeoCat providing SDI solutions all over the world.

So you can see, María is a leader locally, nationally, and internationally.
You can often find her live-tweeting[2] at every FOSS4G event, and sharing
her passion for all things OSGeo. I see in her a very strong voice, full of
youthful energy and passion, and a true leader that is absolutely ready for
the global spotlight.

Please show your support for María, and help to bring her passion to the
Board of the OSGeo foundation.

I've worked closely with Astrid on the OSGeo-Live project and believe 
she posses characteristics which are valuable for OSGeo:


* She leads by example, and often does the hard or boring work.

* She is encouraging and enabling of others, which helps works well in 
our "do-ocracy" environment.


* She has been actively involved in the promotion of OSGeo and OSGeo 
projects. OSGeo is blessed with having many awesome technical people, 
but we have less people actively involved in promotion - and we need 
both to be successful.

In the short time that I have come to know Astrid she proved to be an 
asset to the foundation. From Foss4g 2016 in Bonn onwards she has 
been a driving force in the Marketing Committee. From continuous 
contributing to marketing tactics to hands-on dealing with collateral 
production ranging from Live USB to translation of info sheets.

All the while being critical yet compassionate.

Kind regards,

    It gives us great pleasure to nominate Astrid Emde as a member of
    the OSGeo Board.

    Astrid [1] needs no introduction for most in our community; for
    the few who may not yet be fully aware of Astrid’s contributions,
    she is an (hyper) active member of OSGeo for many years. She is a
    PSC member of the Mapbender [2] and OSGeo Live projects [3].
    Apart from being a regular contributor at global and regional
    FOSS4G conferences, Astrid is the force behind the German
    language OSGeo Local Chapter FOSSGIS e.V. [4] ever since its
    inception. She is also involved in showcasing OSGeo at
    mega-events like INTERGEO [5] and scientific conferences like
    AGIT [6].

    Astrid relentlessly promotes OSGeo by organizing community
    events, code sprints, workshops on a variety of OSGeo software,
    and documentation/translation. More recently, her excellent
    communication skills are being put to effective use in our
    Marketing Committee.

    We would like to thank Astrid for kindly agreeing to spare her
    time for the added responsibility of serving the OSGeo Foundation
    as a member of the Board.

A reminder that starting next week we must work on OSGeo's application 
for the Google Code-in (where short 3-5 hour tasks are given to kids 
aged 13-17).  Interested mentors are asked to fill in the short Google 
form listed at https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Code_In_2017_Mentors


We only have 12 mentors so far!

Here is a list of all OSGeo projects and their listed tasks so far (we 
only have tasks for GRASS GIS, pgRouting, MapServer, OSGeo-Live, FOSS4G, 
and OSGeo foundation).  We are missing many projects!!!


Please share this to all OSGeo projects (official/incubation/community). 
 thanks!
