Dear friends<br>
in my opinion it is the very time for Venka to be awarded the Sol Katz. In case you agree with me, let the Sol Katz award committee know your thought.<br>
<br>
Many thanks!!<br>
Nice weekend to all of you.<br>

Oggetto: Nomination for Venkatesh Raghavan<br>

Dear All<br>
I want to second the nomination of Venkatesh Raghavan for the 2012 Sol<br>
Katz Award.<br>
A part from all excellent reasons in the emails of other OSGeo members (Jeff McKenna, Ravi Kumar, Daniel Kastl,...) I want to highlight that Venka was present from the very beginning at the first events on Open Source in Europe (see for instance: Open Source Free Software GIS - GRASS users conference 2002<br>
Trento, Italy, 11-13 September 2002 <a href="http://www.ing.unitn.it/~grass/conferences/GRASS2002/" target="_blank">http://www.ing.unitn.it/~<u></u>grass/conferences/GRASS2002/</a>) and he has strongly and continously been working in supporting relationships and contacts between Asia and the Europe. Venka is a restless activist and a great inspirer of open source GISs. He has been receiving in his university students from the whole Europe and been sending in our universities students from the Far East with a rich and fruitful exchange of experiences and cultures.<br>
<br>
At the end don't forget that the name of our Conference was invented by Venka...<br>
<br>
Many thanks!<br>
Maria Brovelli<br>
