Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board candidate manifesto - Nicolas Bozon
Hi Luigi, Thanks for following my links and asking. First of all, i am not a developer, so please do not expect to find core or revolutionary code on my Github nor on the OSGeo projects svn. I am rather a geo data product manager, cartographer and designer. I also like to think that i am an OSGeo power user, with predisposition for developer advocacy and community management. I believe my most significant activity or contribution to open source is co-founding ZOO-Project with Gérald Fenoy and Venkatesh Raghavan (former board members btw) and promoting it with the ZOO-Tribe since 10 years now. ZOO-Project is solid and scalable WPS implementation that allows to execute and chain many of the OSGeo librairies such as GDAL, GRASS GIS, OrfeoToolbox (but also others such as SAGA GIS, CGAL or R) all on the server, in a OGC compliant way. I spent hundreds of hours designing the WPS architecture along with co-founders, and i believe Gérald and other ZOO developers implemented our vision the good way. I also wrote part of this project documentation, along with Gérald and Jeff McKenna. If you are really curious about my commits, please look way behind in the ZOO-Project svn history and search for users like nbozon and nickboz :) Another significant contribution of mine to geospatial open source is the design of the MapMint software. This is built on top of ZOO-Project, GDAL and MapServer and also interacts smoothly with some well known clients such as OpenLayers or QGIS. Among numerous online processing capabilities, MapMint really leverages MapServer for non-developers, as it writes mapfiles for them using a friendly UI and crazy mapscript, all served as WPS. As for ZOO-Project, i spent uncountable man-days to achieve this work with my OSGeo friends, and to share it with the community. I did a little bit of coding there too, especially for the front-end prototypes and documentation. Once again, if you are really looking at code related to me, please have a look at the mapmint-ui directory on the MapMint github. For the record, these two projects are licensed under MIT styled licenses. They were most notably used and extended within an innovative research project from 2013 to 2015, funded by the European Commission FP7 Program. They are also nowadays in production for a number of commercial projects led by multiple private companies. I believe my open source activity and direct contributions also remain through my involvement in numerous local and regional FOSS4G events organization. Traveling around the globe to help and spread the word, melting with the Asian and European chapters, sharing ideas and knowledge with many different OSGeo people are also contributions. They do not necessarily involve code or development, but they at least allow me to say that i got to know many of my fellow charter members and that i now understand OSGeo globally. Past and current work with the OSGeo Marketing Committee are also often impalpable yet meaningful contributions. My pet project mapsk.in is another open source contribution, and even gets a (very quiet) Github :) Sorry for this long answer Luigi. I hope that it helped you consider that i am and will ever be an active OSGeo activist and contributor. I'd like to conclude by saying that i do not think being an active skilled developer is mandatory to become an OSGeo director. I think advocacy, strategy and openness are much more important for this role.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Board candidate manifesto - Malena Libman
Hi list, as I'm having trouble logging in my wiki user to edit the page I'm sending my candidate manifesto this way until I can upload it to the wiki. cheers Malena - *About me* https://www.osgeo.org/member/libman/ https://github.com/malenalibman https://twitter.com/malenillavv www.linkedin.com/in/malena-libman I’m a enthusiastic and committed “porteña”, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, of the Geographic Information Systems and of the promotion of the use and development of FOSS4G through the development of communities. In addition to my participation in OSGEO, within the communities related to GIS I have been Secretary of the board of the Argentine Cartography Center (an ONG with more than 60 years of existence), collaborated in the organization of the SOTM LATAM 2018 here in Buenos Aires and I participate in communities also linked to the issues like programming and mapping but with a with with a gender perspective like GeochicasOSM and Las de Sistemas (the systems ones (she)). My university education is in GIS and I am currently a teacher of the Degree in GIS of the Tres de Febrero University. I have worked as a consultant, workshop trainer and GIS specialist for companies and as a government employee in different GIS proyects such as: Transport, Security, Health, Cadaster, Geology, Geography and Spatial Data Infraestructures. *My vision* FOSS4G is central throughout the world, but it is especially important in developing countries, where it is a key tool both for the construction of local capacities and for its contribution to achieving greater cooperation at the regional community level in contexts of strong limitations of resources. *What you have done within the community in the past* I’m a part of Geoinquiet@s Argentina (Spanish speaking micro chapter) since 2012. I’ve participated in the organization of the regional FOSS4G Argentina in 2013 and 2016. I also chaired the 2017 edition that we did together with OSM Argentina, FOSS4G + SOTM Argentina de 2017. I was very lucky to be able to attend the last FOSS4G 2018 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, thanks to the travel grant program. Since then, I have been starting to participate in the OSGEO Marketing committee *What your interests are in terms of the board* I want to contribute so that OSGEO can promote the use of FOSS4G all over the world and for all people in a more effective way. For that, I consider it strategic to complement the most diverse views possible. In this sense, I believe that both Latin America has much to contribute to the strengthening of OSGEO and OSGEO has great potential to deepen and expand its actions in the region. *Any things that you would like to change or introduce* Reinforce the efforts for a more numerous, more protagonistic and more diverse participation by women from all over the world and from people in developing countries. Promote a greater direct relationship between local chapters of the same region and exchanges between different regions, for example, trough participation in regional conferences of representatives from regions other than those that organize it. *What role you would wish to fulfil on the board (if any)* To me, just the fact of being a part of the board would be a dream come true, although I am sure that I have many useful things to contribute, I believe that I still have much to learn from the commitment and experience of the men and women who make up the board. For that I would like to thenk María Arias de Reyna for nominating me and the support of Vicky Vergara for the nomination. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[OSGeo-Discuss] Board candidate manifesto - Michael Smith
Wiki editing is down so posting this to Discuss. About Me: For those of you that don't know me, I'm Michael Smith, a physical scientist at the US Army Corps of Engineers. I've been involved with the MapServer community since 2001 and OSGeo since its inception. For the last 4 years, I've been honored to be a OSGeo Board member and the OSGeo treasurer. It’s been quite a learning experience and I greatly thank Daniel Morissette, the previous OSGeo treasurer for so much support in handling the transition. My Vision: In my time on the board and as treasurer, my focus has been on encouraging governments (in general) and the US in particular, especially the Department of Defense which, personally I know makes extensive use of OSGeo projects, to more actively participate is OSGeo and the projects beyond just use and occasional commits. What your interests are in terms of the board: If reelected, I plan to continue as OSGeo Treasurer. Its been a bit of a learning experience handling the funds from OSGeo, learning how to do the non profit tax filings for the US Government (where OSGeo is incorporated) and handling distributions of funds to Code Sprints and Events. Its also been a lot of fun to work directly with groups and individuals all over the world with OSGeo. Its been a very rewarding experience. It’s really wonderful to see a great group of new candidates to the board. Its wonderful to see the diversity and multiple regions of the world represented in the candidates. Thank you for the nomination, OSGeo Community!
