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

[Markus Neteler]

+1 for Astrid!

She is very active in the FOSSGIS e.V., OSGeo and Mapbender,
dedicating a lot of time to the organization of community events and
(big) conferences by leading much of the needed efforts. Without
Astrid and her balanced view of the community, many things would
simply not happen.

I fully support her nomination.
