Dear GRASS Community,
Thank you for the nomination. I have been observing how GRASS has grown and evolved as a geospatial computing engine since 2000, and it has been a privilege to be part of this great open-source community for more than two decades.
My contributions span hydrologic modeling, internationalization, and portability. Recently, I have worked on cross-platform support through native Windows migration and conda packaging, making GRASS easier to install and use across three major platforms: Windows, Linux, and macOS.
If elected to the PSC, I would AIM to make the project more successful through:
- Accessibility: Making GRASS easier to install and use, particularly for users without administrator rights on Windows (e.g., through conda),
- International support: Improving multilingual infrastructure (e.g., in
lib/gis/aprintf.c), and - Modernization: Advancing parallel computing, computational performance, and software architecture to support increasingly demanding geospatial applications (e.g., through OpenMP support)
I bring over two decades of experience and a commitment to keeping GRASS capable, accessible, and sustainable.
Thank you for your support!
Best regards,
Huidae
