<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Luigi,</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for following my links and asking.</div><div><br></div><div>First of all, i am not a developer, so please do not expect to find core or revolutionary code on my Github nor on the OSGeo projects svn.</div><div><br></div><div>I am rather a geo data product manager, cartographer and designer. I also like to think that i am an OSGeo power user, with predisposition for developer advocacy and community management.</div><div><br></div><div>I believe my most significant activity or contribution to open source is co-founding ZOO-Project with Gérald Fenoy and Venkatesh Raghavan (former board members btw) and promoting it with the ZOO-Tribe since 10 years now.</div><div><br></div><div>ZOO-Project is solid and scalable WPS implementation that allows to execute and chain many of the OSGeo librairies such as GDAL, GRASS GIS, OrfeoToolbox (but also others such as SAGA GIS, CGAL or R) all on the server, in a OGC compliant way. I spent hundreds of hours designing the WPS architecture along with co-founders, and i believe Gérald and other ZOO developers implemented our vision the good way. I also wrote part of this project documentation, along with Gérald and Jeff McKenna. If you are really curious about my commits, please look way behind in the ZOO-Project svn history and search for users like nbozon and nickboz :)</div><div><br></div><div>Another significant contribution of mine to geospatial open source is the design of the MapMint software. This is built on top of ZOO-Project, GDAL and MapServer and also interacts smoothly with some well known clients such as OpenLayers or QGIS. Among numerous online processing capabilities, MapMint really leverages MapServer for non-developers, as it writes mapfiles for them using a friendly UI and crazy mapscript, all served as WPS. As for ZOO-Project, i spent uncountable man-days to achieve this work with my OSGeo friends, and to share it with the community. I did a little bit of coding there too, especially for the front-end prototypes and documentation. Once again, if you are really looking at code related to me, please have a look at the mapmint-ui directory on the MapMint github.</div><div><br></div><div>For the record, these two projects are licensed under MIT styled licenses. They were most notably used and extended within an innovative research project from 2013 to 2015, funded by the European Commission FP7 Program. They are also nowadays in production for a number of commercial projects led by multiple private companies.</div><div><br></div><div>I believe my open source activity and direct contributions also remain through my involvement in numerous local and regional FOSS4G events organization.</div><div>Traveling around the globe to help and spread the word, melting with the Asian and European chapters, sharing ideas and knowledge with many different OSGeo people are also contributions. They do not necessarily involve code or development, but they at least allow me to say that i got to know many of my fellow charter members and that i now understand OSGeo globally.</div><div><br></div><div>Past and current work with the OSGeo Marketing Committee are also often impalpable yet meaningful contributions.</div><div>My pet project <a href="http://mapsk.in">mapsk.in</a> is another open source contribution, and even gets a (very quiet) Github :)</div><div><br></div><div>Sorry for this long answer Luigi. I hope that it helped you consider that i am and will ever be an active OSGeo activist and contributor.</div><div><br></div><div>I'd like to conclude by saying that i do not think being an active skilled developer is mandatory to become an OSGeo director.</div><div>I think advocacy, strategy and openness are much more important for this role.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Nicolas</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">Le sam. 24 nov. 2018 à 10:57, Luigi Pirelli <<a href="mailto:luipir@gmail.com">luipir@gmail.com</a>> a écrit :<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi Nicolas, do you have some more repo other this <a href="https://github.com/nbozon" target="_blank">https://github.com/nbozon</a> where to see your OS activities?</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-m_5607742042668712164gmail_signature">Luigi Pirelli<br><br>**************************************************************************************************<br>* LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigipirelli" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigipirelli</a><br>* Stackexchange: <a href="http://gis.stackexchange.com/users/19667/luigi-pirelli" target="_blank">http://gis.stackexchange.com/users/19667/luigi-pirelli</a><br>* GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/luipir" target="_blank">https://github.com/luipir</a><br>* Mastering QGIS 2nd Edition:<br>* <a href="https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/mastering-qgis-second-edition" target="_blank">https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/mastering-qgis-second-edition</a><br>* Hire me: <a href="http://goo.gl/BYRQKg" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/BYRQKg</a><br>**************************************************************************************************</div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, 23 Nov 2018 at 17:55, nicolas bozon <<a href="mailto:nicolas.bozon@gmail.com" target="_blank">nicolas.bozon@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi OSGeo,<div><br></div><div>Please read my manifesto here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2018_Candidate_Manifestos#Nicolas_Bozon" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2018_Candidate_Manifestos#Nicolas_Bozon</a> <br></div><div><br></div><div>And have a good week end !</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Nick</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div>
