[OSGeo-Discuss] anyone good at word or libre office?

[Jody Garnett]

We have gotten a number of requests for a word template for business cards;
I do not personally know word enough to make my own template. If anyone has
word experience and would like to help please give me (or the marketing
email list) a shout, we would love to hear from you.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Board nomination: Jeff McKenna

[Cameron Shorter]

Jeff,

I've had a number of people correct me to note that you have resigned 
twice from the board. Also from the conference committee and FOSS4G 
mentoring role as the global FOSS4G China was facing very hard decisions 
based on low registration numbers.

Jeff,

While I agree with others that you have been very enthusiastic toward 
OSGeo ideals, I'm also believe that there are some unanswered 
questions which should be addressed.


In particular, a while back you stepped down from the OSGeo Board 
mid-term, while you were in the position of OSGeo president. I don't 
think a public explanation was provided, but I was aware that there 
was some passionate discussion happening in public email lists at the 
time.


If you are considering sitting on the board again, I think an 
explanation should be provided.

Most of you knows Jeff's energy and passion for everything OSGeo, and 
i would probably be mistaken trying to summarize his countless 
contributions over the years, at every level of our Foundation. His 
leadership and long involvement in the OSGeo and FOSS4G communities 
made him the Winner of the Solz Katz Award in 2016, and i cannot add 
more. For those of you who may really not know Jeff yet, the 
User:Jeff_McKenna wiki page is a good read before you vote.


Jeff already served three times at the board and has a deep 
understanding of both the director role and the current OSGeo 
strategic plan. Experienced with OSGeo governance and bylaws, Jeff 
also knows a lot about projects and people. He is always ready to 
help build locally and to represent globally.


Jeff is a great communicator and enthusiastic community leader, and i 
believe he will be an excellent OSGeo director again. Please let us 
all welcome Jeff back at the Board!



Best regards,

Nicolas Bozon

Jeff McKenna agreed to be nominated and i decided to send the 
nomination directly to the Discuss list with cc to CRO, so it avoids 
Jeff to confirm to himself that he accepts the nomination. The Board 
Nominations page still need to be updated, could you please Vasile ? 
Sorry for shortening the nomination process in this special case.

[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2017] Board Campaign period

[Vasile Craciunescu]

Dear all,

The nomination period ended more than half a day ago. We got 9 excellent 
nominations [1]. According with the 2017 election calendar[2], we have a 
week for campaign. During  this week the candidates are encouraged to 
put their vision and ideas for their term at Election 2017 Candidate 
Manifestos[3] and sending them to discuss mailing list for further 
conversation. Seconding is still possible and questions for the nominees 
from the community are welcome.


Best,
Vasile

[OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Members: What kind of an OSGeo Board do we want?

[Steven Feldman]

First up my respect and thanks to the 9 candidates that have agreed to stand 
for a position on the OSGeo Board. 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Member_Nominations_2017 
 It is a fantastic 
indication of our vibrant, passionate community that we have 9 people willing 
to offer their experience, wisdom, energy and most importantly time to serve.

Charter members, we have a tough choice to make to select 5 of these 9 
outstanding candidates to serve for the next 2 years. I thought I would share 
some of the considerations that will influence my choices when we get to vote, 
they may help others to identify what is important to them in making their 
choices and they may also prompt some of the candidates when they write their 
personal statements/manifestos.

We have an opportunity to shape the board in terms of professional background, 
gender and experience

The current board is balanced between practitioners/developers and academics - 
do we want to maintain that balance?
Currently 3/9 of the board are women (Anita is standing down, thanks for your 
contributions, Helena is standing for re-election)
4 of the 5 board members standing down are standing for re-election, 
additionally 2 past members of the board are standing for election. There are 3 
candidates who have not served on the board.

Some questions for candidates:
If you are standing for re-election - what roles have you taken in the last 2 
years? what do you believe you have achieved and what has not worked as well as 
you hoped?
All candidates - what role, specific topics would you like to work on within 
the board and why? what do you hope to contribute and achieve in the next 2 
years?
If there was only 1 thing you could change in the next 2 years what would it be?

May the FOSS be with you all

I would like to second the nominations of Helena Mitasova, Dirk
Frigne, Astrid Emde and Jeff McKenna

To keep it very short, the first two, because I see them as strong
representers of the Academic and Business world, which is great. The
Latter two because they represent the essence of what I think should

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Seconding the nomination of Venka, Helena and Sanghee

[林博文]

Dear all,

I support the nomination of Venkatesh Raghavan.
For a long time, he contributed to the spread of FOSS4G Softeware to Asia.
All Asian communities are Venka and the result of the Asian local chapter
trust relationship.

Also I support the nomination of Sanghee Shin.
He is the most aggressive FOSS4G charter member in Asia and he is a core of
FOSS4G maind of OSGeo.Kr. Without him the 2015 World Conference would have
been impossible.

And also I support the nomination of Prof. Helena Mitasova.
I remember the scene of she was awarded the Sol Katz Award in 2010 and came
to Osaka for mini event of foss4g in 2007.She is an indispensable parson of
promoting GeoForAll spreading in the world.

Best regards,

Hayashi.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Board nomination: Jeff McKenna

[林博文]

I support the nomination of Jeff McKenna and I agree with Nicholas's
Recommendation.

For a long time, he contributed to the spread of FOSS4G Softeware to Asia
and Europe.
Tributaries Everyone in the Japanese community loves Jeff.
He is widely known to the world after contemplating the MS4W. When the
OSGeo began, MapServer and MS4W played a contribution that could be said to
be indispensable to WebGIS at the time.
And all that he experienced from that time to now forms his OSGeo mind.
