I would like to nominate Jachym Cepicky from Czech Republic: He is best known as the developer of PyWPS showing great performance at the Denver FOSS4G WPS shootout http://www.slideshare.net/jgarnett/wps-shootout In addition to his impressive development work, he has been active participant at open source geospatial meetings, conferences and code sprints including FOSS4G, leading workshops and tutorials, giving presentations and participating in the shootout. He works for Help Service Remote Sensing which has been implementing geospatial services using Open source geospatial technology in Central Europe. He has extensive Web GIS experience building Applications using UMN MapServer, GeoServer, GRASS GIS, ExtJS, OpenLayers, PyWPS, an others. His experience, enthusiasm and activism make him a great candidate for the OSGeo charter member. And we still don't have anybody from the Czech republic which has a very active open source geospatial community.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Charter member nominations: Gabriel Roldan
Hello everybody, I would like to nominate Gabriel Roldán. Gabriel is core developer for Geosever and Geotools and has been involved in FOSS4G since 2003 (or even before). He also has collaborated with gvSIG and some other projects. I really think he is one of the most important FOSS4G developers from the spanish-speaking community.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member Nomination: Stephen Woodbridge
Hi all, We, Dan Putler and Daniel Kastl, are nominating Stephen Woodbridge to be a Charter Member of OSGeo. We have both worked with Steve as part of a project team, Daniel Kastl on pgRouting and Dan Putler on PAGC. We have both found him to be an outstanding colleague and important contributor to these projects. Steve is one of the original, and on going, members of the Project Steering Committee of the MapServer Project. He is also a member of the Project Steering Committees of pgRouting and PAGC. In addition, he has acted for several years as a mentor to Google Summer of Code students who have worked on OSGeo Summer of Code projects. In addition to the projects he is directly involved in, Steve has been a important contributor to the user mailing lists of several other projects. We feel his helpfulness to other participants on the PostGIS-Users mailing list is particularly noteworthy, but he is an important (and helpful) contributor to other lists as well. Given his contributions to geospatial FOSS software and users of that software, we believe that Steve would be a worthy Charter Member of OSGeo.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Nominación de Lluis Vicens al Charter de Osgeo
Hi: I would like to nominate Lluis Vicens [1], as a candidate in the forthcoming Charter Member election of OSGeo. Lluis' strong commitment and the importance of his contributions to de development and promotion of FOSS4G are well known. Some of his merits are: 1) Member of the SIGTE [2] project team (Girona University GIS and remote sensing service). There is a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between OSGeo and SIGTE [3] since September 2011. 2) Coordinator and organizer of the Jornadas de SIG Libre (Libre GIS days), which are held every year since 2007 at the University of Girona [4]. The 'Jornadas de GIS Libre' of Girona is one of the most important annual international FOSS4G events and the most important Spanish FOSS4G one. 3) Lluis tutors some of the modules of the prestigious UNIGIS courses organized by the University of Girona every year since 1999 [5] and teaches FOSS4G courses at the international University of Girona Summer School, and also through FormaSIG, the free GIS Learning Platform [7]. 4) He is one of the founders and one of the most active members of OSGeo-es, the Spanish-speaking local chapter of OSGeo. Therefore, I think that promoting Lluis up to a OSGeo charter membership role would be of worth to the OSGeo community.
