| Matthias is a very enthusiastic advocate of OpenSource / Free Software in general and of FOSS4G in particular. He is a long-time user of many classic OSGeo components and has a focus on databases, where PostGIS & pgRouting are exemplarily very close to his heart. Both in his daily work within a large German communications service provider and in his private life, it is a pleasure to listen to him talk about the possibilities and opportunities that arise from the use and further development of open source. He has spoken about the software he loves and the solutions he has helped to build at the conference FOSSGIS (from the German.speaking local chapter of OSGeo). It would be a great enrichment for the community to welcome him as an OSGeo charter member.

| Bill Dollins, has been a member of OSGEO US since 2014. As a consultant, he has delivered solutions based on open-source geospatial software since 2006 - mostly PostGIS, GDAL, GeoServer, and QGIS, but not limited to those.  Bill has been very involved in helping to find financial support for OSGeo projects he works with and for the OSGeo US chapter's activities.  During his time at a commercial SaaS company, he convinced his company to sponsor QGIS due to its heavy usage. In 2023, he was on the organizing committee for FOSS4G North America (Baltimore). In 2024, he was a co-chair and sponsor for FedGeoDay in Washington, DC - focused on government use cases for open-source geospatial. He was also on the steering and sponsorship committees for the 2024 FOSS4G North America (St. Louis). Bill is a valuable team member for the OSGeo community because of his advocacy for using open source geospatial tools in US government agencies as well as the commercial sector.
