Hopefully, most/all of you within the OSGeo-Live community have received
this email by now, but I have received some email bounces, so I'm
following up with a public email as well.

OSGeo-Live contributors,
As you have probably seen, the voting process for new OSGeo charter
members has changed in order to ensure OSGeo charter membership is
more inclusive and representative of the greater OSGeo membership.
In line with this new direction, I'd like to nominate all active
OSGeo-Live contributors for OSGeo Charter membership.
I believe all active contributors that I've worked with meet the
recommended membership selection criteria [1] which includes:
* Previous participation in or support of OSGeo activities /(you have
contributed to OSGeo-Live)/
* The person should already have made a contribution to free and open
source geospatial software, education or open data. /(you have
contributed to OSGeo-Live)/
* The person should be willing to put in time and effort on the
Foundation, perhaps joining committee(s), or volunteering in some
other way that gets the Foundation going. /(Do you wish to continue
contributing?)/
* Members should believe in the general goals of the Foundation. To
support and promote the use of free and open source geospatial
software, education and data in a collaborative manner. /(I expect
this is the case, as you have committed to OSGeo-Live license
requirements)/
* Members selected should provide a diversity of geographic regions,
diversity of projects, diversity of programming languages and
diversity of interests e.g., corporate, hobbyist, educational,
scientific. /(Lots of project, language and geographic diversity in
OSGeo-Live)/
Members should be prepared to work constructively and positively
towards the goals of the Foundation. Good teamwork skills are an
asset. /(All OSGeo-Live contributors I've worked with fit this criteria)/
If you are ok being nominated, then please email me to let me know.
Ideally, can you please also point at your OSGeo Advocate profile
which I can reference when nominating you. (You might need to create
your profile first).

For those of you who are already OSGeo Advocates, and actively
involved in an OSGeo project, you might also want to approach members
of your project about becoming OSGeo Advocates.

Hi all,
Further to the last email, Cameron suggested I highlight the key
improvement to OSGeo Charter voting this year.
That is, **there is no upper limit** to the number of new charter
members who can be incorporated into OSGeo.
So if you are involved in OSGeo, and display positive OSGeo attributes
[1], then please consider approaching an existing charter member [2]
who can vouch for you, and encourage them to nominate you.
(Note, we have just updated the Election 2014 page which hadn't been
updated to reflect this change when I sent my prior email)
Thanks Cameron for being alert on this rookie CRO :-)
Best regards
