- Bio
Markus Neteler, PhD, is a Geographer and Open Source GIS enthusiast. After 15 years working as a researcher in Italy (remote sensing for environmental risk assessment, epidemiological GIS modelling, vector-borne diseases, biodiversity, and Free Software GIS development) he joined in 2015 the startup mundialis (www.mundialis.de) as a partner and general manager focusing on remote sensing and big geodata processing. Markus is project coordinator of GRASS GIS and founding member of FOSSGIS.de, GFOSS.it, and OSGeo.org. He is author/co-author of two books on GRASS GIS and over 80 papers on GIS applications. He is founding-member of the OSGeo Foundation and served on its board of directors between 2006-2011. In 2006, he was honored with the international Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software.

Done goals 2006-2011
- [✓] Started Open Source GIS History article

- [✓] GRASS Incubation
My goals 2010-2011 (as a director)
Ex post note: I could not realize all my goals in my years of being a director (since 2006), so please pick 'em up!
- Board:
- [✓] Extend the OSGeo mission statement: add "collaborative"
- [✓] consider
twoone F2F board of directors meetings per year - consider a MoU with OpenStreetMap Foundation to clarify relationship for people outside of communities
- discuss a low charter member fee (as most organizations worldwide have incl. OSGeo local chapters), perhaps BIP adjusted
- Conference
- run two conferences per year in different parts of the world rather than targeting at 2000 participants. One could be the current conference, the other more workshop oriented (Geoff Zeiss: make that topic oriented)
- Marketing
- Edu Marketing reachout initiative - better advertise the multi-language Edu portal
- Data
- Geodata committee: fill the raster niche (as OSM does for vector data) - e.g. by supporting http://openaerialmap.org
- Business
- Service providers directory: better support individual freelancers
- consider to establish a FOSS4G "engineer" certificate (which can even generate revenue for OSGeo)
- Community
- better link OSGeo int'l and local chapters (basically poor performance of many OSGeo liason officers. Maybe tag important messages and send to new local-chapters list?)
- [✓] promote a spatially more representative charter membership structure: elections went into this direction, see: Board of Directors Report 2011
