**Introduction / main QGIS related activities:** I'm the current release manager of QGIS and have been since I took over from Tim in Sep 2013 as I was already handling the packaging for Debian/Ubuntu and Windows as core committer (which I became in Nov 2007). The windows packaging relies on OSGeo4W, which I'm also the main maintainer of. I'm also doing the translation of the QGIS UI to German. I'm also GDAL/OGR committer and am maintaining the NAS driver (German cadaster format) there. Last but not least I'm also doing various occasional administrative tasks on the OSGeo infrastructure as member of the OSGeo system administration committee. **Introduction / main QGIS related activities:** I'm the current release manager of QGIS and have been since I took over from Tim in Sep 2013 as I was already handling the packaging for Debian/Ubuntu and Windows as core committer (which I became in Nov 2007).

**Introduction / main QGIS related activities:**
Geomatics enthusiast for years, I started deploying and funding QGIS development in 2008 as a GIS and database administrator for a water basin agency.
From 2016 to 2021, I worked for Oslandia mainly on QGIS, and learned "the developer's" side of things and could professionally collaborate with other great contributors of the project.
I have been promoting QGIS in the french User group, organizing 4 QGIS french user days, and being the local chapter chair for 2 years.
Since 2022, I work for a scientific institute promoting greener construction and retrofitting methods to fight against climate change.
Without FOSS4G and open data, this project would never had been possible so, and QGIS is everywhere in it.
I believe that these experiences gave me the ability to fully understand users, needs and developer's language, while keeping the "big picture" in mind and a strong arguments to keep advocating for openness.
**Vision**:
QGIS is an incredible piece of software because it is an incredible contributor community first and users have the power to change the history of the project. It is becoming over the years a second family for me (yes!)
I believe QGIS is already the leading GIS project (in France for sure), still we should consolidate the way we handle all the volunteer tasks in all possible ways, like increasing the incomes to pay for the critical tasks, provide materials to help user groups promoting and raising funds too.
But I also believe we must advocate outside of our community, to help organizations and decision makers to understand how to work with FOSS software, including for big projects.
**Motivation:**
Having been away from close QGIS contribution for one year, it made me clear that we could make some short and middle term improvements, I would like us to help the PSC to work on :
- Address the communication channels fragmentation issue explicitly
- Streamlining to keep connected with those who couldn't make it,
- Try new funding solutions, like NumFocus approach, helping user groups to get sustaining members, or provide paying improved installers for corporations on Windows
- Revive QGIS server and client OGC certification
- And obviously have QGIS conquer the universe
