Hi,

I would like to nominate César Medina [1] from Chile for OSGeo Charter membership.

When I first met César a few years back he was already an OSGeo and FOSS4G enthusiast. Since then he has helped to raise the awareness of the use of Free and Open Source Software in the Geo-Community in Chile and other South American countries. And he additionally contributes to the community on international level.

He will continue to promote initiatives related to Free Software for GIS, with events, meetings and the "geoinquietos Chile" meeting in Chile. He has helped organising the First Conference Chilean gvSIG [2] and initiated a first FOSS4G South America in 2011 [3].

He would enrich the OSGeo community and would help to boost the uptake of the community in Chile.
