>> I have the honor of nominating Venkatesh Raghavan[1] for the 2012 Sol
>> Katz Award.  I would classify Venka as the “builder” of all things
>> FOSS4G.  It was Venka who created the term “FOSS4G” back in 2004, using
>> it as the name of an international event in Thailand, and since then he
>> has promoted Free and Open Source Software for Geomatics all around the
>> world.
>>
>> Venka has also been directly involved in OSGeo since its inception, in
>> fact he was on the first OSGeo Board of Directors from 2006 to 2007.  He
>> is still very active on the Board mailing list, and often shares his
>> broad experience with the OSGeo Board members.
>>
>> A professor at Osaka City University in Japan, Venka constantly
>> encourages his students to leverage FOSS4G in all of their research.
>> His students and research teams have improved FOSS software with
>> international character support and translations for projects such as
>> MapServer, GRASS, and QuantumGIS.
>>
>> Venka actively travels around the world promoting FOSS4G, and works
>> closely with various international event committees each year for such
>> events as GIS-IDEAS in Vietnam, FOSS4G-Japan, and FOSS4G-India.  In 2010
>> Venka was awarded a Guest Professorship at the China University of
>> Mining and Technology in Beijing for his “Outstanding contribution to
>> Open Source Geospatial Technologies”.
>>
>> As you can see his FOSS4G reach is world-wide.  Many people have been
>> touched by his passion.  He is a “boots on the ground” kind of a guy,
>> who is a master at connecting geospatial communities.  Many of us all
>> around the world have grown our careers and skills through his advice.
>> I believe Venka would be an excellent recipient for the Sol Katz Award.
