-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Folks, I have the pleasure of nominating Mr. Sanghee Shin [1] [2] from Korea as new OSGeo Charter Member.
Sanghee has come a long way with Open Source, first using GRASS during his studies, later coming back to image processing and now using, promoting and developing it in his own company. He is founding member of the OSGeo Korean Local Chapter [3] [4] a prominent organization with 180 registered members (10-2011) and a lively community [5]. This year the Local Chapter presentes OSGeo with a booth at SmartKorea 2011 [6], the Korean trade fair for geospatial software, data and surveying. Booth space and equipment was kindly provided by Mr. Shin's company GRIDA [7]. This fall the OSGeo Local Chapter of Korea organized their first FOSS4G Local Chapter event [2] in Seoul, again under the lead of Sanghee. Mori-san, Yoshida-san from the FOSS4G Japan Local Chapter Chapter and myself were invited to give keynote presentations at the event with about 60 attendees and a dozen presentations about software, business models and use cases. Mr. Shin will be a great addition to the Charter Membership, invigorate our Asian connection and help to spread word and raise interest in our next FOSS4G in Beijing which is more or less just around the corner (at least seen from here...).
