| Pedro-Juan Ferrer Matoses | Spain | From: Jorge Gaspar Sanz Salinas
I want to nominate Pedro-Juan Ferrer Matoses (1)(2) for the Charter Member election. Pedro-Juan has been really active at OSGeo and specially OSGeo Spanish Language Local Chapter (OSGeo-es) for the last years. He is member of the Board of Directors of OSGeo-es and the Liason Officer between the LC and the Foundation since the beginning of the LC. He is also giving a hand at our new group at Valencia area so his is workin from local to global, I think we need more active profiles like him at the Charter Membership, also to increase the voice of the Spanish spoken world at OSGeo. I hope you consider my nomination, even after watching the video :-) |

I would like to nominate Suchith Anand as an OSGeo Charter Member. His tireless enthusiasm in promoting OSGeo in the UK has been immensely beneficial to the UK chapter. His work to promote open source geospatial software use in education (see http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/) is of great importance and benefit to OSGeo globally. Furthermore, his work securing an MOU between OSGeo and the Centre for Geospatial Sciences at the University of Nottingham, and more recently with the International Cartographic Association should be recognised. Suchith is exactly the sort of pro-active, enthusiastic person that we need in OSGeo! |
