[R-sig-Geo] Markus Neteler Wins Sol Katz GFOSS Award

[Roger Bivand]

I'm very pleased to be able to pass on the excellent news that:

"During the closing plenary of the FOSS4G 2006 conference Markus Neteler 
was honored with the Sol Katz GFOSS Award for 2006. Markus is the leader 
of the GRASS GIS project, and has played a pivotal role in the 
revitalization of the project and it's community. Markus is also a 
founding member of OSGeo, and has been active in building the broader 
FOSS4G community for many years."

As members of this list will probably know, Markus has a sustained 
interest in GRASS/R integration, in addition to all the other things he 
manages to find time to do.

Congratulations!
