[GRASS-dev] Candidate statement - Paulo van Breugel

[Paulo van Breugel]

Dear GRASS community,

I’m honored and grateful for the PSC nomination! I have been a 
passionate user and advocate of GRASS for 15 years or so (how time 
flies!). I’ve written blog posts and tutorials since 2008, and created 
various addons for data import, analysis, and visualization tasks.

What first drew me to GRASS was its flexibility and analytical power, 
and that remains a key reason I rely on it today. Just as important, 
though, is the incredible, welcoming community that has made this 
journey so rewarding. And I believe it is the community that holds the 
key to a bright future of GRASS. If elected, one of my primary goals 
would be to increase community member engagement and facilitate 
collaboration between maintainers, contributors, and users.

A second related focus area would be the improvement of GRASS 
documentation. As both a user and a lecturer, I’ve seen firsthand how 
important good documentation, tutorials, courses and educational 
materials are for onboarding new users and keeping existing users 
engaged. One of the challenges I would thereby like to address is how to 
accommodate the diverse needs and preferences of different users, all 
while ensuring that the maintenance workload remains manageable.

Thank you for your consideration and all the best,

Paulo van Breugel
