皆さん
森亮です。

既に、OSGeo本家のMLを読まれている方はお気づきかと思いますが、12月13日に開催された理事会(Board meeting)において、President
であったFrank Warmerdamが辞任し、後任はJeff McKennaになったそうです。Frankは引き続き理事としてOSGeoの発展に寄与することになっています。

そのアナウンスを受けてJeffの決意表明

日本の我々からすると、Jeffのような情熱を持ち、強い意志を持ち、しかも日本およびアジアに対する理解がある人がリーダーシップを執るのはとても歓迎すべきことだと思います。

Congratulations and best wishes to Jeff in his new role as President !!
