Hernán,

Below are 2 people I am nominating for election to the GRASS PSC

Michael Barton

===================================

Name: Eric Hutton

email: eric.hutton@colorado.edu <mailto:eric.hutton@colorado.edu> and hutton.eric@gmail.com <mailto:hutton.eric@gmail.com>

Reason:

Eric is a software engineer for the Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System (https://csdms.colorado.edu/&gt;\) and a long time GRASS user. A decade ago, Eric added GRASS the the CSDMS software stack for geoinformatics at CSDMS, and has made GRASS accessible in the LandLab Python modeling package developed at CSDMS. He also developed the initial code to enable GRASS to be built using the Conda package, further enhanced by Michael Barton and most recently by Nicklas Larsson, as a seamless way to build and deploy GRASS binaries for the Macintosh. Eric has broad expertise in Python, Conda, and Jupyter for geoinformatics and modeling. He has worked with the GRASS team to promote GRASS to students and professionals at recent clinics and workshops. Eric is also an outstanding tream player and dedicated to supporting open source software. Eric agreed to be nominated for election to the GRASS PSC.

===================================

Isaac is a faculty member at San Diego State University, where he heads the Computational Archaeology Lab (https://isaacullah.github.io/CompArchLab/). Isaac is a vocal advocate for open source software and especially for open source geospatial technologies. He has used GRASS and developed GRASS packages for two decades, since he was a graduate student, contributing many modules to GRASS. He teaches GIS and geospatial technology at SDSU, and has made numerous tutorial videos for GRASS and QGIS (https://www.youtube.com/@IsaacUllah_GIS_Tutorials/videos). Isaac also is an accomplished Python programmer and Jupyter user, as well as a developer of computational modeling in other platforms. He is already contributing to the NSF POSE project headed by the current GRASS PSC. Isaac is a great colleague and advocate of geospatial technologies in the social sciences. Isaac agreed to be nominated for election to the GRASS PSC.
