Motion: Extend GDAL/OGR Commit Access to Etienne Tourigny
---

Hi,

Kyle Shannon and I would like to propose Etienne Tourigny for commit access to 
GDAL subversion repository.

Etienne has recently contributed in the developement of the netCDF driver. He 
has submitted many ideas for fixes and improvements in the driver ( see this 
thread http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2011-August/029865.html ), 
that he has organized in this wiki page :

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/NetCDF_Improvements

He has also proposed various patches to tickets in Trac, or engaged discussion 
with their reporters :

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2129
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2893
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3957

Etienne has graduated in Computer Science at Université de Montréal and 
Master's in Atmospheric Science at UQAM. He's currently working on his PhD in 
Meteorology at INPE/CPTEC/CCST in Brazil. His interest in GDAL has arisen 
because he's working with burned area and land cover maps at high (Landsat) 
and medium (MODIS) resolutions and he has a need for fixing and improving the 
driver so as to be able to produce files in netcdf format. He has also been 
involved in the CDO operators, and started a discussion with the devs on 
incorporating geotiff and full Proj.4 support. He has also submitted minor bug 
reports and enhancements for QGIS.

Etienne, could you reply to this message indicating your agreement to the
guidelines listed in:

    http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc3_commiters

I'll start voting with my support:

+1

Best regards,

Even
