[Ubuntu] UbuntuGIS PSC Nominations are Open

[Johan Van de Wauw]

Hello everyone,

I guess all of us are either too shy to do a first post or subject to
a certain form of procrastination, or are we just scared to forget
someone while nominating:-)

Nevertheless I guess the recent IRC meetings with the osgeo live
project and debian gis people will really boost ubuntugis and
debiangis, so I guess we should really make sure we can continue the
positive vibe we have now and look at how osgeo can be part of this.

Anyway, with the holiday season almost over time to get started!

Rather than first proposing candidates I want to give a brief summary
of what I think a member of the PSC should do. For me the most
important thing is that he/she replies in time when decisions are to
be made. I would propose that we have a policy of replying and vote
within one week to any proposal on the mailing list. Apart from that I
hope that these votes will be really inclusive: I suggest that anyone
who is not part of the PSC is always encouraged to participate.


Anyway, people who I would like to nominate, in no particular order,
and I'm probably forgetting some
* Alan Boudreault
- for running UbuntuGIS for so long
* Jerome Larouche
- for the crazy amount of packages uploaded recently
* Ivan Mincik
- For his ideas an packaging and his work on gislab, though I still
don't really understand what it is
* Alex Mandel
- Because he was the only one replying on whether I should add saga
2.1.0 :-)  and for his contributions to ubuntugis and osgeo live over
a long time.
* Bas Couwenberg
- If most of the gis packages in ubuntu universe will be in a very
good shape for 14.04 it is all due to this man who has been packaging
like crazy recently

I guess I could add many more people from osgeo-live or debian -gis. I
support anyone active in those projects and really wanting to
contribute something to ubuntugis (or whatever we will become once
collaborating more with debian gis and/or osgeo live).

Cheers,
Johan
