**Introduction / main QGIS related activities:** I'm a geographer (specialized in cartography and GIS) and long time QGIS user (since about 2005). In my main job I am a GIS project manager at the Canton of Solothurn in Switzerland and partially a developer of smaller Python plugins or Python code useful for our inhouse projects. Prior positions include: project manager in the Canton of Zug, responsible GIS manager at the City of Uster in Switzerland, research assistant and PhD student at the Institute of Cartography at ETH in Zurich.
**Introduction / main QGIS related activities:** I'm a geographer (specialized in cartography and GIS) and long time QGIS user (since about 2005). In my main job I am a project manager at National Atlas of Switzerland at the Institute of Cartography and Geoinformation ETH Zurich. Prior positions include: project manager in the Cantons of Solothurn and Zug, responsible GIS manager at the City of Uster in Switzerland, research assistant and PhD student at the Institute of Cartography at ETH in Zurich.
Regarding QGIS, I helped to introduce QGIS in public authorities, companies and NGOs in Switzerland and co-founded the Swiss QGIS user group. Since a few years I manage the financial resources of the QGIS.ORG project. Together with the PSC colleagues I helped establish "QGIS.ORG" as a legal entity in Switzerland.
**Motivation:** I appreciate being involved with and working with the QGIS and FOSS4G community and love seeing the progress of the project(s) as a whole. Happy to contribute a small bit to the success of the project. I'd like to continue my work on the PSC and board, as I think it makes sense to have some continuity, esp. with legal and financial issues. I do believe that FOSS4G software enables certain groups in our society with high-quality decision making or documentation tools that otherwise wouldn't be available to them, because they couldn't afford them. As an employee of a public authority I like the ability to influence future directions of the software and to get changes in the software in a reasonable amount of time (compared with some proprietary alternatives where a small customer can't influence future directions of the software development). As a side-effect we help spending tax money wisely.
