Betreff: Re: [GRASS-PSC] Nominate Peter Lowe as PSC member

Dear Massimiliano Canata,

thanks for the action. I would like to remind that this e-mail should
be directed to the CRO first, in private. Then I would like to ask for
confirmation from the nominee. In this way we can keep low-traffic in
the lists and the CRO can manage better the nominations.

Kind regards,
GRASS-GIS' CRO

Nikos,

Thanks again for coordinating this. I am happy to stand for re-election. I
remain a very strong supporter of GRASS and its community, and am happy to
serve as best I can. Currently, my main role is to maintain the Mac binaries
for GRASS. Although I am not actively programming on the GUI at present, I
still know it well enough to serve as a backup if need be. I am an advocate for
the GRASS Mac community. And it‘s probably a good idea of maintain a mix of
young talented developers and old timers like me with a sense of the history of
GIS.

Cheers
Michael

Dear community,

Micha Silver has accepted his nomination by Nikos Alexandris.

[As Nikos, I believe that Micha Silver's expertise level, readiness to
share and support within the wider FOSS4G community, as well as his
experiences in the field of Geomatics (see also his contributions in
gis.se for example), make him a valuable candidate for the PSC.]

Best of success.
GRASS-GIS' CRO

ps- Surely unusual to refer to myself (community member) as from another
role (CRO).
ps2- There are no restrictions regarding whether the CRO can nominate
     someone. If the current PSC thinks otherwise, let me please know.

Dear Micha,

would you stand as a candidate for the PSC? Has someone asked you
already?

I am still not sure whether I could nominate you (being the CRO,
though that should not matter), but I would like to.

I think you greatly fit as a member for the PSC.

Last update:

though the list of candidates should be officially fixed by

is given (till Tuesday, 12:00 UTC). The reason is to give a little more time for last decisions.
