[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2015] Nomination for Lene Fischer

Wed Aug 19 06:51:04 PDT 2015

Dear All
I support completely Lene's nomination. I want also to let you know that I nominated Marco Minghini  as well.

It is my great pleasure to nominate Marco Minghini (known as "Mingo") for OSGeo Charter membership.  Mingo has been an active advocate of Open Source GIS software and a regular presenter at FOSS4G events. Recently he was the co-organizer of the very successful FOSS4G 2015 Europe at Como, Italy. He has been working tirelessly to promote the development of Open Source software and data in academia and within the COST Networks (an EU funded inter-disciplinary network that involves almost 30 countries) where he is an active member. In July he organized in Como an amazing Training School "FOSS4VGI - Using Free and Open Source Software with VGI: integration, analysis and visualisation" (supported by the "COST Action TD1202 - Mapping and the Citizen Sensor"  initiative), gathering students and young scientists from all over Europe.  I have known and worked with Mingo for many years, starting from his bachelor thesis; he was one of my brightest students and is now an excellent researcher and promoter of Open Source Geoinformation.  Those who know Mingo know his big brightsmile and his endless enthusiasm.  Please welcome Mingo as an OSGeo Charter member.

Best!
Maria

Thank you Anita  for this excellent nomination. Lene Fischer's has made excellent contributions to OSGeo education over many years . I am surprised she is not a  charter member till now. So let us make sure she becomes a charter member and be strong voice for education and expanding OSGeo principles.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Hi,

I would like to nominate Lene Fischer for the OSGeo
Charter. Lene is very active teaching open source geospatial technologies
at the University of Copenhagen and helping users on the QGIS mailing list.
She also organized the first international QGIS user conference combined
with a QGIS developer meeting in 2015.

I have confirmed with Lene that she's accepting this nomination.

Thanks and best wishes,
Anita
