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.
