Additional details behind my +1 (was asked to explain why I seconded...) I think that Gretchen has done a significant amount of work in public-facing cartography / education and making both beautiful and effective maps more accessible to folks outside of the usual / stock audiences for such things (through: books she's written, blog posts, Twitter, etc).
And, since part of the call for charter members involves diversity... to continue singing the same old song (see Aleda Freeman nomination +1 follow-up; Tina Cormier nomination +1 follow-up) I don't believe that the list of Charter Members is representative of the user community of OSGeo projects; I believe we're skewed on a couple of demographic axes. One of those is gender. Let's work on that. Can provide more/additional justification/rationale/input/thoughts as needed; let me know. cheers - -k.bott On Thu, Sep 7, 2017 at 8:44 AM, Kristin Bott <bo...@reed.edu> wrote: > [pardon the delay, catching up on email as the school year starts up...] > > +1 this nomination. > > -kbott > > On Thu, Aug 31, 2017 at 2:31 AM, Codrina Maria Ilie < > codr...@geo-spatial.org> wrote: > >> I second this nomination! >> >> Cheers, >> Codrina >> >> On 31/08/2017 03:25, Andy Anderson wrote: >> >>> +1!! >>> >>> — Andy >>> >>> On Aug 30, 2017, at 8:10 PM, Jody Garnett <jody.garn...@gmail.com >>>> <mailto:jody.garn...@gmail.com>> wrote: >>>> >>>> I would like to second the nomination. >>>> >>>> -- >>>> Jody Garnett >>>> >>>> On 30 August 2017 at 16:24, Vasile Craciunescu <vas...@geo-spatial.org >>>> <mailto:vas...@geo-spatial.org>> wrote: >>>> >>>> Forwarding Gretchen Peterson nomination by Sara Safavi.
