Profile: Youssef Harby	Joana Simões
2	Matthias Daues	Germany	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.	Marc Jansen

He is a specialist in radar data and a skilled software engineer as well as cartographer using any geo-related Open Source package in the Python world he can get his hands onto. He mainly contributed to SAR related open source tools. Profile: Petr Ševčík	Joachim Ungar
