      <br>
      I've worked closely with Astrid on the OSGeo-Live project and
      believe she posses characteristics which are valuable for OSGeo:
      <br>
      <br>
      * She leads by example, and often does the hard or boring work.
      <br>
      <br>
      * She is encouraging and enabling of others, which helps works
      well in our "do-ocracy" environment.
      <br>
      <br>
      * 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.
      <br>

      Warm regards, Cameron

        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.
        <br>
        All the while being critical yet compassionate.

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