[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo board nomination

2019-11-17 Thread adam steer
Hi everyone

After a whirlwind last minute chat between John Bryant and myself (do you
want an OSGeo board nomination? maybe - you? kinda? OK.. there’s nobody
from Oceania there let's do it), I’m privileged to announce my nomination
for election to the OSGeo board.

My manifesto is here:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2019_Candidate_Manifestos#9._Adam_Steer.2C_Australia_.28OSGeo_profile.29

This will see a few nips and tucks today most likely, and be set in stone
by bedtime (before 24:00 UTC+11, Monday 18 November)

Please feel free to ask me anything. I appreciate that I’m pretty new to
this community, and I’m also keenly aware that I’ve been pretty quiet in
other OSGeo committeeships - which I would give up if elected, aiming to
focus on just one thing at a time.

Finally, I see an excellent field of co-nominees to vote for - all the best
in decision making, there’s a tough choice ahead.

Regards,

Adam

Hello OSGeo Community

I feel blessed to be nominated for the board.
The nomination, this year, was done by Regina Obe.

You can find my manifesto in [1] and you can see all of the nominees's
manifestos in [2].
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, and be patient with my
response, as I will be on the
"Segunda reunión nacional de usuarios de QGIS México" (Second national
reunion of QGIS Users, México)
and I don't open my laptop when I am listening to a talk.

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo board nomination

2019-11-27 Thread Till Adams
Dear OSGeo community,

late but hopefully not too late... find my manifesto on [1].

I am honored to have been nominated for becoming a member of OSGeo
board. I had quite a few requests on this in the past, but I refused
them all -- obviously, this time, I did not find enough reasons to
refuse again ;-).

As an early OSgeo member, I have seen the development of our
organisation right from the beginning and now I offer my help and my
experience to further develop OSGeo.

With or without me, I am sure, that the new board will do a great job
and the old and new members will invest all their passion and energy to
reach our goals.

Till

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Board nomination

2008-06-13 Thread RAVI KUMAR
  

  Hi All,
  Its a pleasure to nominate this dedicated environmentalist on OSGeo  board 
who is also probably one of the first to use GRASS GIS in India.
  
  Name :   S. NARENDRA PRASAD, Ph.D
  Secretory , OSGeo India chapter
Designation   :  Senior Principal Scientist & Head
  Address  :  Salim Ali Centre for  Ornithology and Natural History (SACON), 
Deccan Regional station, 
  12-13-588/B,  Nagarjuna Nagar  Colony   Tarnaka,  Hyderabad 500017
 Email:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
Date  of Birth  : 14.08.1951
  Nationality   : Indian

  
  His involvement in use and institution wide adoption of Open source  
geospatial tools began in 1991. He was responsible to introduce GRASS  on Sun 
workstation for the GIS cell of wild life Institute of India,  Dehra Dun, 
India. Infact, using Grass, Environmental Impacts of major  River valley 
project was analyzed by a group of researchers between  1992-94 and several 
other research projects of wild life institute of  India.  Subsequently,  in 
collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science, (IISc)  Bangalore, an 
interface was developed in Grass to read the raster  files of the Indian Remote 
Sensing satellite data .This experience  has resulted in an ongoing work at 
IISc wherein one of the GRASS  mirror site is up and functioning.

  
The  most recent and extensive involvement began with the use of ILWIS,  
Open Jump and GRASS. In an extensively collaborated project namely 'Rajahmundry 
City (A.P), GIS', on  showcasing potential applications of using Osseo tools 
was  successfully completed. The stakeholders of this project included law  
makers, administrators spanning a wide range of disciplines.
The use of open source web GIS tools for wetland conservation has been 
initiated by him,  and is the first and perhaps the only Environmental 
Information  System of the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of  
India.
A  number of capacity building, awareness and other educational and  
outreach activities were conducted with the colleagues of the Osseo  –India 
chapter for a number of users
His future plans include a much wider introduction of the osgeotools in a  
large geographical area focusing on environmental applications.

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Board nomination

2008-06-17 Thread Torsten Brassat

Hi,

I am pleased to nominate Arnulf Christl as director and hope you share 
my views!


Name : Arnulf Christl
Siemensstr. 8 , 53121 Bonn , Germany
OSGeo Wiki: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Arnulf_Christl
Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Arnulf Christl is one of the founding members of OSGeo and took an 
active part in developing the foundation.


In the past two years he was active as director, chair of the Marketing 
Committee and as member of the Incubation Committee he mentored the 
GRASS GIS project through incubation.


He actively helped to build the brand OSGeo in Germany and at European 
level by promoting the foundation at various events and conferences 
including the OSGeo Park at the annual Intergeo trade show, the LinuxTag 
community event and the AGIT conference in Salzburg, Austria.


As "creative leader" of the FOSSGIS (localized FOSS4G) he significantly 
helped building the conference to become the main German language Free 
and Open Source GIS event in the region.


A couple of years ago he launched the Mapbender project, which became 
the first OSGeo project to graduat. Although he does not actively 
produce code anymore he still develops the architecture design, future 
development and does the legal work.


As member of the OAB (OGC Architecture Board) and as WhereGroup 
representative in in the OGC Planning Committee with full voting rights 
he helps bridge the cultural gap between both organisations.


Through his work in both organisations and his interest in Free and Open 
Source GIS Software Arnulf became a leading consultant for spatial data 
infrastructures and GIS solutions. As founder and CEO of the WhereGroup 
GmbH & Co. KG he has a vital commercial interest in building sustainable 
business models around Free Software licensing and Open Source 
development models.


Taking all of the above points into account and knowing him to be a 
vocal and avid supporter of OSGeo I am sure that he will be a valuable 
member of the OSGeo Board of Directors for another term. I am pleased to 
nominate Arnulf Christl as director and hope you share my views!


Best regards,

Torsten
