Bart van den Eijnden

Nomination by
Daniel Morissette

I'd like to nominate Bart van den Eijnden for the OSGeo board election.

Bart's involvement in the OSGeo community and its projects is well known and predates the creation of OSGeo itself. He is a regular at FOSS4G, is very familiar with OSGeo and its mission and often contributes to discussions related to OSGeo activities, so I think he could bring valuable inputs and contributions to the board. He started his own consultancy in The Netherlands back in 2005 (OSGIS.nl) and now works with OpenGeo.

Jáchym Čepický

Nomination by
Jeff Jeff McKenna

I would like to nominate Jáchym Čepický[1] for the 2013 OSGeo Board elections. Jáchym has already served one year on the Board, having graciously stepped into an empty position that needed filling. Coming from the Czech Republic in Central Europe he has brought a much needed global perspective into the Board activities. He is of course very active at the project level, and has been one of the community leaders helping to create and bring FOSS4G-CEE around the region.

I strongly recommend that we bring Jáchym back onto the OSGeo Board.
