[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Board nomination: Astrid Emde

[Marc Vloemans]

+1 for Astrid

In the short time that I have come to know Astrid she proved to be an asset to the foundation. From Foss4g 2016 in Bonn onwards she has been a driving force in the Marketing Committee. From continuous contributing to marketing tactics to hands-on dealing with collateral production ranging from Live USB to translation of info sheets.
All the while being critical yet compassionate.

Kind regards,
Marc Vloemans

>> Astrid [1] needs no introduction for most in our community; for the few who may not yet be fully aware of Astrid’s contributions, she is an (hyper) active member of OSGeo for many years. She is a PSC member of the Mapbender [2] and OSGeo Live projects [3]. Apart from being a regular contributor at global and regional FOSS4G conferences, Astrid is the force behind the German language OSGeo Local Chapter FOSSGIS e.V. [4] ever since its inception. She is also involved in showcasing OSGeo at mega-events like INTERGEO [5] and scientific conferences like AGIT [6].
>> 
>> Astrid relentlessly promotes OSGeo by organizing community events, code sprints, workshops on a variety of OSGeo software, and documentation/translation. More recently, her excellent communication skills are being put to effective use in our Marketing Committee.

>> We would like to thank Astrid for kindly agreeing to spare her time for the added responsibility of serving the OSGeo Foundation as a member of the Board.
