[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Board nomination: Jeff McKenna

[Jeff McKenna]

Thank you for the support Hayashi-san.   I have really tried to spread 
FOSS4G and OSGeo all over Asia and Europe, as you mentioned.  I also 
truly love the OSGeo-Japan community, I feel like I am a long-time 
member of OSGeo-JP, and that a huge part of my growth as a person and a 
community member is due to the kindness and appreciation shown to me 
from so many OSGeo-JP members.

I miss you dearly and I am sure that I will see you soon in person at a 
FOSS4G event somewhere! -jeff
