[Spanish] [OSGeo-Announce] OSGeo Charter Member Elections 2014

[María Arias de Reyna]

Hola,

A todos aquellos que no seguís la versión inglesa: ya tenemos aquí las
elecciones para añadir nuevos miembros a OsGeo.

Me gustaría animar especialmente a los miembros del otro lado del charco
(por América) a que os postuléis como posibles candidatos. Creo que es
importante mantener la variedad y esta es una forma más de variedad :)

Para los que no sepáis qué es un miembro de OsGeo, y a modo resumen os
comento: Un miembro de OsGeo, entre otras cosas, puede postularse para y
votar a los miembros del Board. El Board es la directiva, los que toman
decisiones y representan a OsGeo a nivel internacional.

Que esto pilla a la mayoría como etéreo y lejano, pues sí. Pero no deja de
ser importante para la organización.
