Hello OSGeo community,

I am very happy to nominate Hirofumi Hayashi[1] for the Board of
Directors of OSGeo.

Hayashi is a super-active member of the OSGeo-Japan chapter, tirelessly
working on planning and promoting FOSS4G events in that region.  He is a
member of the OSGeo-Japan Board, and anyone who has ever attended a
FOSS4G-Japan event has been touched by his efforts, and of course his smile.

At the project-level Hayashi is a member of the ZOO Project PSC (often
works late at night to maintain its servers), has also committed several
enhancements to the OSGeo4W installer, and contributed translation
changes in several OSGeo projects.

I believe Hayashi will be a great voice from the vibrant Japan chapter.

Oh, I must not forget: Hayashi's daughter Natsuki was the now-famous
hand model used in the FOSS4G-Japan 2008 mola-mola video! [2]
