Hernán,

Below are 2 people I am nominating for election to the GRASS PSC

Michael Barton

===================================

Name: Eric Hutton

email: eric.hutton at colorado.edu <mailto:eric.hutton at colorado.edu> and 
hutton.eric at gmail.com <mailto:hutton.eric at gmail.com>

Reason:

Eric is a software engineer for the Community Surface Dynamics Modeling 
System (https://csdms.colorado.edu <https://csdms.colorado.edu/>) and a 
long time GRASS user. A decade ago, Eric added GRASS the the CSDMS 
software stack for geoinformatics at CSDMS, and has made GRASS 
accessible in the LandLab Python modeling package developed at CSDMS. He 
also developed the initial code to enable GRASS to be built using the 
Conda package, further enhanced by Michael Barton and most recently by 
Nicklas Larsson, as a seamless way to build and deploy GRASS binaries 
for the Macintosh. Eric has broad expertise in Python, Conda, and 
Jupyter for geoinformatics and modeling. He has worked with the GRASS 
team to promote GRASS to students and professionals at recent clinics 
and workshops. Eric is also an outstanding tream player and dedicated to 
supporting open source software. Eric agreed to be nominated for 
election to the GRASS PSC.

===================================

isaaciullah at gmail.com <mailto:isaaciullah at gmail.com>

Reason:

Isaac is a faculty member at San Diego State University, where he heads 
the Computational Archaeology Lab 
(https://isaacullah.github.io/CompArchLab/ 
<https://isaacullah.github.io/CompArchLab/>). Isaac is a vocal advocate 
for open source software and especially for open source geospatial 
technologies. He has used GRASS and developed GRASS packages for two 
decades, since he was a graduate student, contributing many modules to 
GRASS. He teaches GIS and geospatial technology at SDSU, and has made 
numerous tutorial videos for GRASS and QGIS 
(https://www.youtube.com/@IsaacUllah_GIS_Tutorials/videos 
<https://www.youtube.com/@IsaacUllah_GIS_Tutorials/videos>). Isaac also 
is an accomplished Python programmer and Jupyter user, as well as a 
developer of computational modeling in other platforms. He is already 
contributing to the NSF POSE project headed by the current GRASS PSC. 
Isaac is a great colleague and advocate of geospatial technologies in 
the social sciences. Isaac agreed to be nominated for election to the 
GRASS PSC.
