[Sanghee Shin]

Dear All, 

Most of all I really appreciate Vasile’s great work for the election. Wow, what a turnout number is! I also would like to thank to outgoing board members for their contributions and directions. 

I feel honoured to be a director and look forward to working with all of you for the OSGeo and FOSS4G. 

Best regards, 

신상희
