[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Board nomination: Astrid Emde

[Cameron Shorter]

+1 for Astrid.

I've worked closely with Astrid on the OSGeo-Live project and believe 
she posses characteristics which are valuable for OSGeo:

* She leads by example, and often does the hard or boring work.

* She is encouraging and enabling of others, which helps works well in 
our "do-ocracy" environment.

* She has been actively involved in the promotion of OSGeo and OSGeo 
projects. OSGeo is blessed with having many awesome technical people, 
but we have less people actively involved in promotion - and we need 
both to be successful.

Warm regards, Cameron
