[OSGeo-Discuss] Nomination for Taichi FURUHASHI - seconded

[Jeff McKenna]

I second Furuhashi-san's nomination.  A huge force behind the
FOSS4G-Japan community, if you attend any FOSS4G-related event in Japan
you are likely to see his smile, hear his laugh, and be amazed at the
cool innovative work that he is involved in using OSGeo projects.
