[OSGeo-Discuss] Nominating Jody Garnett to serve another term as an OSGeo Board member

[andrea antonello]

I also would like to second Jody's nomination.

Jody has the right mind and heart for this. He understands the big
picture and inter-community issues... and even if I don't always agree
with him, I trust him with doing what is best. :-)

Cheers,
Andrea
