Dear GRASS community,</p>
<p>I’m honored and grateful for the PSC nomination! I have been a
passionate user and advocate of GRASS for 15 years or so (how time
flies!). I’ve written blog
posts and tutorials since 2008, and created various addons for
data
import, analysis, and visualization tasks. </p>
<p>What first drew me to GRASS was its flexibility and analytical
power, and that remains a key reason I rely on it today. Just as
important, though, is the incredible, welcoming community that has
made this journey so rewarding. And I believe it is the community
that holds the key to a bright future of GRASS. If elected, one of
my
primary goals would be to increase community member engagement and
facilitate collaboration between maintainers, contributors, and
users.</p>
<p>A second related focus area would be the improvement of GRASS
documentation. As both a user and a lecturer, I’ve seen firsthand
how important good documentation, tutorials, courses and
educational
materials are for onboarding new users and keeping existing users
engaged. One of the challenges I would thereby like to address is
how
to accommodate the diverse needs and preferences of different
users,
all while ensuring that the maintenance workload remains
manageable. </p>
<p>Thank you for your consideration and all the best,</p>
<p>Paulo van Breugel</p>
