    <p>+1 for Astrid.</p>
    <p>I've worked closely with Astrid on the OSGeo-Live project and
      believe she posses characteristics which are valuable for OSGeo:</p>
    <p>* She leads by example, and often does the hard or boring work.</p>
    <p>* She is encouraging and enabling of others, which helps works
      well in our "do-ocracy" environment.</p>
    <p>* She has been actively involved in the promotion of OSGeo and
      OSGeo projects. OSGeo is blessed with having many awesome
      technical people, but we have less people actively involved in
      promotion - and we need both to be successful.</p>
    Warm regards, Cameron<br>

                <br>
                -------- Forwarded Message --------<br>
                <br>
                It gives us great pleasure to nominate Astrid Emde as a
                member of the OSGeo Board.<br>
                <br>
                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].<br>
                <br>
                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.<br>
                <br>
                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.<br>
                <br>
                Yours,<br>
                <br>
