Dear All,<br>
<br>
Sorry for the delay in my response.<br>
<br>
I feel honored to be nominated to the OSGeo Board.<br>
I have been a part of the very active Japanese<br>
community in promoting FOSS4G since the inception<br>
of OSGeo in 2006. I am grateful to Venkatesh Raghavan<br>
and Toru Mori for introducing me to the FOSS4G world.<br>
Through my participation in OSGeo related activities<br>
I have had the immense pleasure of getting to know<br>
the global OSGeo community and its amazing role in<br>
fostering high quality geospatial software. As exemplified<br>
by the FOSS4G conferences, the main strength of OSGeo<br>
lies in a its broad based nature rather than a hierarchical<br>
approach. I particularly look forward to working with<br>
this young and vibrant community and do my best for<br>
further strengthening OSGeo.<br>
<br>
I would like to encourage and bring-in new software projects<br>
such as ZOO-Project, goGPS-Project, pgRouting etc. into the<br>
OSGeo realm.<br>
<br>
I would like to particularly focus of building strong tie-ups<br>
with OSGeo communities in Asia and contribute to adoption of<br>
FOSS4G in Asia region.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
Hirofumi Hayashi<br>
