According to our charter [1] our Project Steering Committee and Board members shall serve for periods of two years at a time and then shall be eligible for re-election. In addition, new members for the Board and PSC can be nominated at these times. After the nominations, a vote will follow to decide how the PSC and Board will be made up for the next two years. If you are a QGIS Voting member (i.e. your name appears either here [2] as Community Voting Member or here [3] as Country User Group Voting Member), please take the time to make nominations. You should have already received an email invitation to the nominations form. If you have not, please contact me and I will resend it to you.

I will continue to participate in the QGIS community as a GIS Nerd :-) I am extremely honoured to have been able to serve as your first Board Chair. QGIS as a project has grown so much and we have many good processes in place to ensure that the project keeps growing and reaching more and more users with our special brand of Open Source GIS goodness. Standing down is not a decision I took lightly and being part of such an awesome community of developers, users, documenters, GIS Nerds has been a really awesome experience. From the humble beginnings of Gary Sherman starting QGIS 16 years ago and his subsequent generosity in opening up the source code to the world, QGIS is now being used in every corner of the world and in every sector of society. It has been great to be a part of seeing that happen, and I look forward to continuing the journey with you all under the new project Chair.
