[OSGeo-Discuss] Board Nomination: Jeff McKenna

[Bart van den Eijnden]

IMHO this needs some more explanation, since he resigned from the same board only some months ago (or is it half a year already maybe). What has changed since then that makes him consider re-joining?

Best regards,
Bart

He is a friend, resource and gateway to all who have an interest in Open Source (data and software) and OSGeo in particular. Jeff is one of the original charter members (from 2006) and has been on the OSGeo board before (September 2009). Jeff has a passion for OSGeo that is unrivaled by anyone, a big heart, and  is considered someone always ready to talk or listen when anyone, anywhere has a OSGeo question, comment or critique. Jeff is very international in his approach to OSGeo and works with and participates with many, many OSGeo chapters worldwide. He has also been an incredible force behind almost all of the international FOSS4G conferences. Jeff would be a humble, strong, active and loud voice for OSGeo.
