Frederik is a generous and respected contributor to the OpenStreetMap
community. His record speaks for itself and he doesn't need me or
anybody else to stand up for him.

Best regards,
Richard

P.S.

For those newer to this list who may not know all of the players yet,
a partial list of Frederik's generosity in the OSM community includes:

Frederik has advocated OpenStreetMap for years, participating with
hundreds of mappers in person and thousands by email. Frederik is,
with his co-authors, responsible for creating the OpenStreetMap
section in book stores.  Frederik gives generously of his time to
share his knowledge on the wiki, mailing lists, irc, at conferences
and stamtisches.  Frederik has been open about his OpenStreetMap
consulting business from it's inception.  Frederik gives generously of
his time and expertise in maintaining OpenStreetMap infrastructure and
data integrity.  Frederik studied and published performance gains in
the OSM stack from which we all benefit.

Frederik's record of transparency, honesty, technical acuity and good
humour is well-known.
