I owe thanks to Frank for his efforts.  He stepped into the President
role after Arnulf, without any complaints (and was still probably
settling into a new job and home).  We all need to thank Frank for doing
that at such a time.

I plan to continue pushing for Open Source geospatial all across the
world.  I may not be a core developer, but I've learned that my passion
can be useful in many ways.

I am proud to represent the community of OSGeo.
