Regarding QGIS, I helped to introduce QGIS in public authorities, companies and NGOs in Switzerland and co-founded the Swiss QGIS user group.

**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).

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 administrative tasks on the OSGeo infrastructure as member of the OSGeo system administration committee.
