Subject: Nomination of Bastian Drees from TIB as OSGeo charter member
Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2017 22:47:52 +0200
From: Astrid Emde (OSGeo) <astrid_emde at osgeo.org>
To: cro at osgeo.org

Hello,

I would like to nominate Bastian Drees [1].

Bastian organizes the publishing of our conference recordings at TIB AV 
Portal [2]. These are recordings from FOSS4G [4], FOSSGIS [5], FROSCON 
[6] and other conferences and for example the GRASS video from 1987 
spoken by William Shatner [7].

Bastian cares for the long term availability of OSGeo material, 
especially videos such as conference recordings but also research data 
or proceedings:
- works on improving the discoverability and visibility of those 
materials and wants to make them citable and interlinkable
- helps developing necessary infrastructures for these purposes based on 
the needs of the OSGeo community [3]
- gives advice on publishing under open access licenses
- works together with the organizing committees of different FOSS4G and 
FOSSGIS conferences on publishing conference recordings in the AV-Portal 
of TIB
- helps us with our ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) [8].

Read the article "404: Video not found – The TIB AV-Portal stops 
scientific videos from disappearing" [9]
Read articles in Bastians blog about favorite highlights [10] & an 
interview with Till Adams after FOSS4G 2016 [10].

See a talk from Bastian about "OSGeo Konferenzaufzeichnungen im TIB 
AV-Portal" at FOSSGIS 2017 [12]. He finished his talk with the words 
based loosely on William Shatner[13]:

"So don’t keep your scientific videos, your simulations, your 
animations, your
video tutorials and conference recordings rolled up in your private homepage
or stuffed into commercial platforms. Keep it in the TIB AV-Portal!"

Would be great to have him in the team as OSGeo Charter Member.

Astrid
