[Ottawa_users] Ottawa_users Digest, Vol 112, Issue 2

Mon Jul 18 13:23:22 PDT 2016

For the record — here’s the nomination just sent to the CRO:

Dear Vasile,

I would like to nominate Jerome St-Louis (jerome at ecere.com <mailto:jerome at ecere.com>) to become a charter member of OSGeo.

Jerome has been very active with the Ottawa Osgeo Chapter for a number of years taking an active role as chair of the group, including taking a strong leadership role in Ottawa’s recent bid to host the FOSS4G event in Ottawa in 2017.

Jerome also runs eCere, a company dedicated to the development of open source geospatial technologies, where he also plays the primary role in technology development. Jerome has represented the Ottawa OSGeo local chapter at numerous Canadian events, and has also participated in International FOSS4G events.

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Jerome personally, and can vouch for his very strong personal commitment to the Open Source Geospatial movement.

Sincerely,

Dave McIlhagga

As we all know Jerome has been very active in our local community and has been very instrumental in our efforts to host the FOSS4G conference 2017 here in Ottawa. Although unsuccessful, we did send out a worthy bid proposal package.
