It is a great honor for us to nominate Prof. Helena Mitasova
for the<br>
2017 OSGeo Board Elections.<br>
<br>
Prof. Helena Mitasova hardly needs any introduction. Her
activities that<br>
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>
<br>
Recently, she has been one of the driving force behind the
Geo4All<br>
initiative. She is also instrumental in the conclusion of
several MoUs<br>
with international professional organizations. Her deep
insight in area<br>
of Education and Research will help to strengthen our
outreach. Further,<br>
her invaluable experience on the present OSGeo board will also
be an asset.<br>
<br>
We thank her for agreeing to be nominated for the 2017 OSGeo
Board<br>
elections.<br>
