It is my pleasure to nominate Dirk Frigne for the OSGeo Board elections. 
I enjoyed the opportunity to work with Dirk on the 2015 board where he 
enthusiastically applied himself to the responsibilities of the role, 
and stepped forward as a vice-president to represent OSGeo publicly.

Dirk is a long standing member of our community, making it a challenge 
to provide a summary of his contributions. I first met Dirk through the 
incubation of the Geomajas project, where he demonstrated a knowledge 
and passion for open source. Dirk is an established business 
professional who I believe founded Geosparc as an entrepreneur.  Dirk 
is instrumental in the founding of the new OSGeo Europe chapter, serving 
as the vice-president of this regional group. For more details on Dirk 
and his contributions please see the User:Dirkf 
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Dirkf> wiki page.

OSGeo is built on the passion of members like Dirk Frigne. Our board and 
community would benefit from his strength, dedication and leadership.
