[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Board nomination: Maria Arias de Reyna

[Hogan, Patrick (ARC-PX)]

Even the 'Angels' are rooting for Maria for her intrepid OS geospatial passion, thank you Angelos! 

I too second or third Maria into OSGeo infinity (if I am able from my current or proposed position). 

Maria has spent a lifetime serving the interests of OSGeo even before OSGeo was OSGeo. 

What more can we say for the Board in becoming stronger than "Andiamo Maria Antonia Brovelli!"

I would also like to second Maria's nomination for the Board.

Maria has shown strong leadership and passion!

Best,
Angelos
