(note that this was originally submitted 2017-09-27 but I waited, to try<br>
to avoid being both the CRO sending to Discuss list, and the one who<br>
submitted the nomination. So I'm happy to finally share my nomination ha!)<br>

Name: María Arias de Reyna<br>
Country of Residence: Spain<br>
<br>
It is my pleasure and honour to nominate María Arias de Reyna[1] for the<br>
Board of Directors of OSGeo. You may remember that I nominated María<br>
last year for the Board, but since then she has gone on to give several<br>
great keynote talks at various events around the world, bringing<br>
much-needed discussions of diversity and sharing to the forefront of events.<br>
<br>
María is well known in the OSGeo community for her relentless efforts as<br>
a core contributor for the GeoNetwork project, and for her longtime<br>
contributions to the SIG Libre conference (the Spanish FOSS4G). Locally<br>
she is very active through the OSGeo microchapter network Geoinquietos,<br>
and more recently also through the Spanish national geomatics<br>
association, AESIG. She works for GeoCat providing SDI solutions all<br>
over the world.<br>
<br>
So you can see, María is a leader locally, nationally, and<br>
internationally. You can often find her live-tweeting[2] at every FOSS4G<br>
event, and sharing her passion for all things OSGeo. I see in her a very<br>
strong voice, full of youthful energy and passion, and a true leader<br>
that is absolutely ready for the global spotlight.<br>
<br>
Please show your support for María, and help to bring her passion to the<br>
Board of the OSGeo foundation.<br>
