[OSGeo-Discuss] Board elections - my candidacy

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Dear all, and especially those of you that are registered as Charter
Members of OSGeo,

The board of directors elections voting process will start tomorrow. And
therefor it is timely for me to write some words about my reasons for
accepting the nomination for a second term on the board.

Over the last two years I have taken time to talk to a range of community
members during online of face to face meetings about the things they would
like to see happening with OSGeo. This has resulted in a vision document
that I posted here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KRdCKB8HvI9FctF1Ulg6UfoCImjEYKaQkgg9l1HueZs/edit?usp=sharing>,
and to which I have invited the community for comments. So far the document
received a good response and a number of great contributions. I hope to
receive enough support during these elections to proceed with implementing
the ideas put forward.

You can read more about my goals on the board here

And find some more generic information about me as a person here

Thanks for taking the time to read this. And Charter members: Don't forget
to vote once you received the invitation!

Cheers,
Jeroen
