[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2014] Nomination for Jukka Rahkonen

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

Big thumbs up on Jukka's nomination and an equally big thanks for all the work he does supporting users within the MapServer community. I wasn't aware of breadth of his involvement and that is indeed impressive!

Dear OSGeo community,

I'd like to nominate Jukka Rahkonen, from Finland, for OSGeo charter membership.

Jukka is one of the few people who belong to several PSCs of our OSGeo projects, namely Geoserver since 2012 and GDAL since 2013 (and among the very few to make the bridge between the Java and C/C++ tribes !)

As far as GDAL is concerned, Jukka is one of our most active power users since many years. You've probably noticed him many times answering to questions from other users on the mailing list, testing bleeding edge trunk or doing precise bug reports. It was a pleasure for me to finally meet him in person at Nottingham last year.

Jukka is also involved into other OSGeo (or related) communities such as MapServer, TinyOWS or Spatialite, which gives him a quite broad vision in the geospatial field.

Jukka also maintains Finnish translations for OpenJUMP and Kosmo GIS and has given a workshop on GeoPackage in the Finnish OSGeo seminar this year.
