Locally she<br class="">is very active through the OSGeo microchapter network Geoinquietos, and more<br class="">recently also through the Spanish national geomatics association, AESIG. She<br class="">works for GeoCat providing SDI solutions all over the world.<br class=""><br class="">So you can see, María is a leader locally, nationally, and internationally.<br class="">You can often find her live-tweeting[2] at every FOSS4G event, and sharing<br class="">her passion for all things OSGeo. I see in her a very strong voice, full of<br class="">youthful energy and passion, and a true leader that is absolutely ready for<br class="">the global spotlight.<br class=""><br class="">Please show your support for María, and help to bring her passion to the<br class="">Board of the OSGeo foundation.<br class=""><br class="">[1] https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Delawen<br class="">[2] https://twitter.com/delawen/<br class=""><br class="">-jeff<br class=""><br class="">--<br class="">Jeff McKenna<br class="">President Emeritus, OSGeo Foundation<br class="">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Jeff_McKenna<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">Discuss mailing list<br class="">Discuss@lists.osgeo.org<br class="">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss<br class=""></blockquote>_______________________________________________<br class="">Discuss mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:Discuss@lists.osgeo.org" class="">Discuss@lists.osgeo.org</a><br class="">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss<br class=""><br class=""></blockquote><br class="">-- <br class="">Yours sincerely,<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">ir.
