[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2014] Nomination for Kate Chapman

[Jeff McKenna]

I also want to support the nomination for Kate Chapman.  Schuyler wrote
an excellent summary of her activities.  For me, I've been in her
circles for a long time and I've watched her become a worldwide leader
in helping challenged areas of the world share information.  I finally
got to sit down and have a beer with her at FOSS4G-CEE in Bucharest and
it was an honour to share that time with her.  She would indeed be an
excellent addition to the OSGeo organization.
