Dear CRO,<br>
<br>
It is a great honor for me to nominate Prof. Helena Mitasova [1]<br>
for the 2015 OSGeo Board Elections.<br>
<br>
- Prof. Helena Mitasova<br>
- USA<br>
- Prof. Helena Mitasova [1] hardly needs any introduction. Her activities<br>
that encompass the entire gamut of the OSGeo Foundation goals, speak for<br>
themselves. She was awarded the Sol Katz Award in 2010 for her long<br>
standing contribution to the OSGeo Foundation and FOSS4G communities.<br>
Recently, she has been one of the driving forces behind the Geo4All [2]<br>
initiative. Her invaluable experience in area of Education and Research will<br>
be a great asset to the OSGeo Foundation Board.<br>
<br>
I thank her for agreeing to be nominated for the 2015 OSGeo Board elections.<br>
