| 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 :-) |
