I’m Sargun Vohra and I’d happy to be serving on the governing board.

First, the disclosures: my employer is @headway but Headway has nothing to do with my work on MapLibre; I contribute in my spare time. I have never been paid for work on MapLibre, though there is a small portion of a StreetComplete grant allocated to some work I’m doing.

My involvement with MapLibre has largely been as a contributor and maintainer of hosted projects; I started in 2024 with MapLibre Compose, which was onboarded onto the organization in 2025, and then this year I built MapLibre Native FFI, an experimental C API and suite of language bindings intended to make development of MapLibre Native SDKs and integrations easier. I’ve also started contributing to the native core, recently porting the core to OpenHarmony and HarmonyOS, and I’m co-maintainer of Spatial-K after it was onboarded to the org.

My vision for MapLibre boils down to:

1. Broaden MapLibre’s reach. We have popular SDKs today for Android, iOS, and the web; we should make it easy for developers on every device with a GPU to integrate a MapLibre map into their application.
2. Strengthen the SDK ecosystem. We should invest in a shared foundation and an ecosystem of SDKs so that MapLibre is the easiest and best map to integrate into any app or UI framework.
3. Expand where the MapLibre community lives. Today, issues, pull requests, and discussions happen on GitHub. We should establish a presence on a community-run software forge, because an open source community should not be inseparable from one commercial hosting provider.
