My name is Christian Maul and the reason of this introduction is that I volunteered for the Project Steering Committee for Geoserver when Ben Caradoc-Davies asked for non-programmers to join. The following will give you a little bit of information about me. I am currently working in the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) in Melbourne as a Senior Project Manager. We run a data warehouse of spatial data with 2500 spatial layers of which roughly 500 are public and can be ordered. (Victorian Datasearch - Search is free but ordering needs a password). These data are also provided as WMS for different clients (e.g., Transmaps), which is backed by a Geoserver backend. We started with Geoserver 1.7.4, which was used in one application, and we are now running the 2.1.3 version for 7 frontends. What I can bring to the table is operations experience and a Geoserver user perspective. Another project that I shaped significantly is the VicMapAPI, (Testserver VicmapApi – sorry a slow test server) which is a geowebcache-backed tile cache of Victorian map backdrops and raster layers. If you are interested in other details of my CV, please visit to my linkedin profile (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/christian-maul/12/30b/a67 - Melbourne). Cheers Christian

Christian Maul has nominated himself as a user representative on the PSC (see below). Please vote on this nomination.
-1
Of course this needs an explanation
An open source community works based on day to day presence and contributions of some
kind, developers do code, end users often cannot, but there are other activities that are important
as well such as answering other users questions, advertise GeoServer somehow (blogs, presentations
and the like) and of course write documentation.
To become a PSC one needs, first and foremost, to be active in the community in some capacity,
and then to stand out for his/her contributions and leadership.
Looking at Christian’s CV and activities I’m certainly impressed, but he still lacks the necessary
community participation to be a PSC member.
Christian, I hope that you don’t take this badly and that you’ll be participating in the community
life, even someone outside of the PSC can still offer a lot and participate to discussions
here on the mailing list, even without a binding vote we take into consideration all participants
opinion and I’m sure we can use your insight to make GeoServer better.

I can fully understand that you want somebody with a longer and continuous
involvement. Jukka is certainly the better and more deserving choice.
However, I have not nominated myself as indicated, I was actually wondering
that I could be considered when I hesitantly answered the request. As you
know we had quite a few Emails back and forward.
Cheers

expressing your interest on the mailing list is all it takes to nominate yourself. Apologies if I misinterpreted your emails.
There is no reason why we should not have multiple user representatives if they are qualified.
You have been successful in extracting from the PSC a more detailed description of the qualifications of a suitable user representative. From the last meeting notes:
Ideal candidate:
* active on the user mailing list
* reports issues
* writes documentation
* helps people submit appropriate bug reports
* participates with feedback to the devel mailing
* is "present" in public
You are already heading in the right direction. I appreciate your contribution to the lists, so I am pleased to support you with a +1 vote, even though you have been unsuccessful at this time.
Thanks again for putting your hand up. Without PSC volunteers we would not have a working PSC.
Kind regards,
Ben.
