Dear all, I'd like to nominate Peter Löwe [0] for OSGeo Charter Membership. He is active in Free and Open Source GIS development for more than a decade, specifically in the field of remote sensing, but also on rule based systems, crisis management, high performance computation...
He collaborated with FOSSGIS.de (he has been its very first non-founding member), Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam GFZ, the South African Metereological Service (where he successfully introduced his team to GRASS GIS), Geomancers.net and RapidEye AG among others [1]. He wrote several GRASS modules, available in Addons [2], and obtained RapidEye data for i.atcorr module [3], been a developer of the GISIX live-linux DVD [4]. Moreover, he won several research prizes with FOSS GIS work [see details at 0,1] I met Peter at FOSS4G 2010 in Barcelona, and worked with him during GRASS Community Sprint 2011 in Prague. He has been so far an effective ambassador of OSGeo in corporate/academic environment, and he would benefit from the official recognition of OSGeo community to achieve further objectives.
