Subject: [OSGeo-Conf] Nominate Jeroen to join the conference committee<br>Date: Wed, Jul 3, 2013 02:00<br><br><br>Resent to conference list without large CC list (to avoid triggering <br>email moderation) ...<br><br></div>
<div class="im HOEnZb">Conference committee,<br>After discussing with Jeroen, I'd like to nominate Jeroen to join the <br>OSGeo conference committee, including have Jeroen vote on the upcoming <br>FOSS4G 2014 bid.<br>
<br>As per:<br><a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate#Jeroen_Ticheler" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate#Jeroen_Ticheler</a><br><br>Jeroen has organised the annual Bosena Code Sprint, contributed to a <br>
proposal for a Netherlands FOSS4G, is a regular sponsor and workshop <br>presenter at FOSS4G events, has previously served on the OSGeo Board, <br>and as noted below, has some insightful questions for foss4g 2014.<br><br>
I don't believe Jeroen has any vested interests in either foss4g 2014 <br>bid (Jeroen please speak up if I'm wrong) and as such will also provide <br>a valuable and impartial vote for foss4g 2014.<br><br>+1 from me.<br>
