[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nomination for OSGeo Board: Marc Vloemans

[Andrea Ross]

+1, I was fortunate to work a little with Marc and found that he had excellent ideas, a mountain if of pragmatism, a history of positive collaborations, and was a pleasure to speak & work with. He communicates very effectively also. Excellent choice!
