Simon is a big user and advocate...and a nice guy. I second the nomination.

I agree. Not only for Simon, but to also show OSGeo support (indirectly perhaps) to our Pacific friends

Agree, always good to have OO people at that conference, and being Simon the co-chair of 2025 is extra important he goes there and try to engage with the Pacific for it.

I am happy to include the Whanganui to AKL leg as well as long as the cap is AUD $2,000 and if that assists Simon (it may not).

Simon is the best advocate with all the work he has put into FOSS4G 2025.

To add to the conversation: the PGRSC people are actually looking for some more good presentations and workshops and if Simon is keen they would welcome him to present about his OS projects and/or OSGeo, and also run a workshop on OS stuff. Shall we maybe ask him about presenting/running a workshop? He's usually quite a keen presenter!

I agree. His presence in Suva is also an awareness for the FOSS4G in Auckland next year.
