[OSGeo-Discuss] Board Election: Ned Horning

[Ned Horning]

Hi -

I have been a user, advocate, and supporter of open source geospatial 
software for more years than I care to remember. My impact may not have 
been all that great in the global scope of things but I have worked hard 
to raise awareness especially within the conservation community. I still 
have a lot of work to do. As a board member I would like to help OSGeo 
work more on expand funding opportunities for open source initiatives. 
One way to do this is to improve awareness within government and 
non-government organizations that fund projects that develop or use 
OSGeo products so they consider the benefits of OSGeo software and 
eduction/outreach resources when determining which projects they fund.

If elected to the board I will try to be an active member and will 
dedicate the necessary time to fulfill the duties that come with the 
position.

All the best,

Ned
