[GRASS-user] Candidate Statement - Corey White

Dear GRASS Community,

I am honored to be nominated to join the GRASS GIS Project Steering Committee (PSC). As a geospatial software engineer and researcher at NC State University, and the founder of OpenPlains Inc., I have been deeply involved with GRASS GIS over the past years. In my academic role, I have had the opportunity to engage with many individuals about GRASS GIS, working to formulate a strategy for its ongoing sustainability.

To ensure the continued success of GRASS, we must focus on developing our community, maintaining and advancing our codebase, and exploring funding opportunities. As a member of the PSC, I aim to help guide GRASS in promoting its strengths and enhancing its accessibility to both current and new users. Additionally, I am committed to achieving project funding milestones to alleviate the maintenance burden that heavily rests on our community’s maintainers.

Thank you for your consideration,

Corey White
