I would like to nominate Andrea Aime for OSGeo charter membership. Andrea as a key contributor to the GeoServer[1] and GeoTools[2] projects. Actually Andrea may the key contributor - the GeoServer issue tracker lists Andrea as the project lead. While I feel I should quote some bug closing statistics here, what is more important is his commitment to the community (always ready with a code review) and supportive presence on the GeoServer and GeoTools user lists.
[1] http://geoserver.org/ [2] http://geotools.org/ As a public representative Andrea is beloved for his effective stage presence. Most recognisable in the popular FOSS4G "WMS Shootout" series[3], or exploring topics at regional events (most recently making the trip to FOSS4G-NA [4]).
