Subject: Charter member nomination: Michael Terner
Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2017 14:33:35 -0500
From: Sara Safavi <[email protected]>
To: OSGeo Chief Returning Officer <[email protected]>
Nominee: Michael Terner, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
I would like to nominate Michael Terner for OSGeo Charter Membership. I
imagine I will not be the only person nominating Michael this year, but
I would be remiss if I did not. Michael, of course, co-chaired FOSS4G
2017, and his leadership was an integral part of the event's massive
success. Having known Mike for many years, I can speak personally to his
passion for and dedication to growing the open source geospatial community.
