Subject: [Pacific] Nominations - OSGeo Oceania board election
Message-ID: <CAHY5hn-yXx0sztwNRoXyeSwS6XRS4Xn8brwNrGJVTP9TP_5gFg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I've nominated a few members of the Oceania open geospatial community for
election to the OSGeo Oceania board. These people have made outstanding
contributions to this community over the last few years, and I believe they
are ready to step up and provide the leadership the organisation needs to
serve this community well.

These are the people I've nominated:
*Edwin Liava'a (Tonga & Brisbane, Australia)*
*Nemaia Koto (Suva, Fiji)*
*Elisa Puccioni (Wellington, NZ)*
*Edoardo Neerhut (Melbourne, Australia)*
*Jonah Sullivan (Canberra, Australia)*
*Carrol Chan (Suva, Fiji)*

You can see the details here:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/oceania/2020-November/002420.html

If you're a member of this community, but not yet an official voting member
of OSGeo Oceania, you may still be able to apply for membership in time to
vote (I haven't heard otherwise, and last year applications were solicited
and accepted up to 26 Nov). It's easy to join. Learn more, and apply here:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Oceania#Membership

Thanks,
John

Thanks John, I like that list and great idea sharing publicly!

For the record, I nominated Kamsin Raju (Nadi, Fiji) for the OSGeo Oceania
today board so the Fiji representation is strong 💪🇫🇯.

	election
Message-ID: <CA+V2hhq_GvecZ5wZ8d+DNVAkWj84xMkmhAmGwN=6nv7dF7zYbQ@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Returning Officer & OSGeo Oceania,

I am happy to nominate another candidate for the OSGeo Oceania board, *Ewen
Hill of Melbourne, Australia*.

Ewen Hill is one of those people who contributes an enormous amount to the
geospatial community while asking little in return. He has been involved in
almost all geospatial events since I have been in Melbourne, and I am sure
many before. Ewen is the guy who patiently shows people how to get the most
out of JOSM or QGIS, working his way around the room to support anyone
needing help. He's the guy that spends time putting together a map in QGIS
after an OpenStreetMap event to show the results of a mapathon. He's the
guy who rocks up at the venue two weeks before to make sure it has
everything you need for FOSS4G SotM Oceania.

I'm sure he'd bring this same selflessness and attention to detail to the
board, while being a strong advocate of the open source geospatial tools we
all know and love.

Kind regards,

Ed
