I would like to nominee to Victor Olaya, an GIS enthusiast and a multifaceted character. He's the creator and the main developer of the SEXTANTE library[1], an open-source library for spatial data analysis currently used by several applications such as gvSIG, QGIs, uDIG, ... He has been involved in open-source software development and GIS since the beginning of his career, focusing on spatial data analysis and geomorphometry. His contribution to the open source for geospatial is very remarkable and he is also the author of the first free book based on Geographic Information Systems[2].

Cheers,
Lluís
