[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Board Election 2010 - Nomination of Arnulf Christl

[Astrid Emde]

Hello OSGeo Board Election 2010 Committee,

I would like to suggest the nomination of Arnulf for the OSGeo Board 
Election 2010 again. He did a good job the last years, so it would be 
nice to have him in the Board again.

He is active in the Open Source community for many years. Very early he 
discovered the sense of open standards and promoted the OGC and the 
standards.

He is active world wide - doing lots of presentations, trainings, 
articles, consulting and has the ability to inspire people for open 
source. With his company he set up lots of solutions based on open source.

He also is active in the OSGeo as president, in the OGC, in the FOSSGIS 
e.V. which is the german speaking local chapter of the OSGeo and in the 
Mapbender project.

He has a lot of energy to push things forward, to motivate and encourage 
people and he has a lot of ideas. He walks around with an open mind and 
is open when he steps up to other people.

He is dedicated for the idea of open source and puts a lot of his energy 
and time in this idea.

See you in Barcelona

Astrid
