1 Gresa Neziri Kosovo Gresa is an architect and urban planner from Pristina, deeply involved in the promotion and development of open-source geospatial technologies. As the co-chair of FOSS4G 2023, she has played a key role in fostering collaboration and innovation within the global geospatial community. Gresa also leads efforts to engage and empower the next generation of mappers in Kosovo, working closely with the local community of young mappers to develop their skills and contributions to OpenStreetMap and other open data initiatives. I believe Gresa would be a very good addition to our charter members list. Angelos Tzotsos
