The following nominations have been received for the OSGeo Board in 2010 through the Election 2010 process. The end of Thursday, August 12th 2010 is the latest that new nominations, sent to cro@osgeo.org and the discuss list, will be accepted.
This list is presented in the order nominations were received.
Incumbent board members are marked with an asterisk (*).
Candidate statements, if they have been provided, are indented and provided immediately after the candidate name.
Arnulf Christl
I would like to suggest the nomination of Arnulf for the OSGeo Board Election 2010 again. He did a good job the last years, so it would be nice to have him in the Board again.
He is active in the Open Source community for many years. Very early he discovered the sense of open standards and promoted the OGC and the standards.
He is active world wide - doing lots of presentations, trainings, articles, consulting and has the ability to inspire people for open source. With his company he set up lots of solutions based on open source.
He also is active in the OSGeo as president, in the OGC, in the FOSSGIS e.V. which is the german speaking local chapter of the OSGeo and in the Mapbender project.
He has a lot of energy to push things forward, to motivate and encourage people and he has a lot of ideas. He walks around with an open mind and is open when he steps up to other people.
He is dedicated for the idea of open source and puts a lot of his energy and time in this idea.

Frank Warmerdam
I would like to nominate Frank Warmerdam for re-election in the 2010 OSGeo Board Election.
Frank doesn't need to be introduced, he has been recognized as a leader in the Open Source Geospatial field for several years before the OSGeo Foundation was created, and has been one of the key people who made the launch and operation of the Foundation possible in its early days.
Frank has served on the OSGeo board since the creation of the Foundation and plays a key role in many (all?) of its committees. It makes no doubt that he is committed to OSGeo's mission and that he can continue to make significant contributions as an OSGeo board member.
