Dear GRASS GIS Community,
I am honored to be nominated for the GRASS GIS PSC.
Some of you may have read my name asking or answering questions on the user=
and developer mailing list. Fewer of you may have met me, e.g. at Communit=
y sprints in Bonn or video calls.
For those of you who do not know me: I learned GRASS GIS during my studies =
at the University of Hanover around 2000 (with GRASS 5.4). Being an environ=
mental planner by education, I consider myself mostly as a "power user" wit=
h some "learning-by-doing" skills in Python. My focus has been on using GRA=
SS GIS in applied ecology and my first contributions to GRASS GIS have been=
in form of AddOns[1] (r.connectivity, r.maxent.lambdas, v.rast.bufferstats=
, v.strds.timestamp). In 2018 I became a member for the core development te=
am. I mostly contribute[2] to the Python code base or by discussing aspects=
of the development on the mailing list, github, or (virtual) meetings.
I use GRASS mainly on Linux for a broad range of analysis relevant in envir=
onmental research and advocate actively for the use of Open Source technolo=
gy in that domain. In my work GRASS is often used in combination with other=
OSGeo tools, like PostGIS, QGIS, GDAL. So, as a PCS member - if elected - =
I will focus on the interoperability of GRASS GIS.
That said, I benefited a lot from my interactions with the great GRASS GIS =
community, so frankly being elected or not will most likely not have a majo=
r effect on my participation in the project one way or another. However, I =
would view it as an opportunity to "give back" though, by getting involved =
in the more administrative aspects of the project.
Finally, I also like to add that I have been very happy with the current PS=
C, and want to thank them for their work. Looking at the list of nomination=
s I can already say that I will be happy with the next PSC too, whoever of =
the nominees gets elected. I am looking forward to future collaboration wit=
h the community in whatever formal role.
Cheers,
Stefan
