Hi all, It's a great honour to nominate Iván Sánchez[1][2] (Spaniard now living in Norway). He is well known by usual FOSS4G attendants by his funny musicals (i.e. [3]) but Iván is much much more than a passionate geonerd. He is one of the main promoters of Open Data and OpenStreetMap in Spain (in fact he's currently the -exiled- president of the OSM.es association); he was for a period member of the Boards of Directors of the OSM Foundation and has leaded many activities around OSM and Open Data in Spain. He usually presents FOSS4G projects on conferences and is also well remembered by the Cake Test for Open Data (specially when he brings cakes to smaller-than-FOSS4G conferences).
Iván is a great friend and I'm sure you'll agree he deserves joining the Charter Membership.
