Dear All, I would like to nominate Paolo Corti, from Italy, for charter membership. Paolo is currently working as a geospatial developer at UN World Food Programme [1] in Rome, in the context of the Emergency Preparedness and Response Branch GIS Unit. He deals with GeoNode web platform development, deployments an administration, and spatial and database design and implementation. Paolo is an active member of the OSGeo Italian local chapter, and I first met him at one of the GFOSS day events organized by GFOSS.it. Successively, I had the honor to become his colleague at the European Commission, JRC [2], where he has developed open source tools and applications in the context of the European Forest Data Centre [3] and the European Forest Fire Information System [4]. Paolo has been working in the GIS industry since 1998. He is a master in the use of geospatial software such as QGIS, PostGIS, MapServer, GeoServer, GDAL etc. and has always been a precious reference for colleagues and users in troubles in the various mailing lists. Paolo's blog [5] is a source of precious tips and tricks. There would be much more to say about him, in summary I'll just mention that he's a volcano of energy and a natural OSGeo advocate in every context. best, madi [1] http://www.wfp.org/ [2] http://forest.jrc.ec.europa.eu/team/person/2/detail/ [3] http://forest.jrc.ec.europa.eu/efdac/ [4] http://forest.jrc.ec.europa.eu/effis/ [5] http://www.paolocorti.net/ -- Best regards, Dr. Margherita DI LEO Scientific / technical project officer European Commission - DG JRC Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) Via Fermi, 2749 I-21027 Ispra (VA) - Italy - TP 261 Tel. +39 0332 78 3600 margherita.di-...@jrc.ec.europa.eu Disclaimer: The views expressed are purely those of the writer and may not in any circumstance be regarded as stating an official position of the European Commission.
