Thanks to his participation in national and international researches and his contribution in organizing OSGeo events (I remember the FOSS4G in Nottingham and the FOSS4G-EU in Como) he took the OSGeo principles live. He's a very active member that certainly deserves the status of Charter Member.

Mingo has been an active advocate of Open Source GIS software and a regular presenter at FOSS4G events. Recently he was the co-organizer of the very successful FOSS4G 2015 Europe at Como, Italy. He has been working tirelessly to promote the development of Open Source software and data in academia and within the COST Networks (an EU funded inter-disciplinary network that involves almost 30 countries) where he is an active member. In July he organized in Como an amazing Training School "FOSS4VGI - Using Free and Open Source Software with VGI: integration, analysis and visualisation" (supported by the "COST Action TD1202 - Mapping and the Citizen Sensor" initiative), gathering students and young scientists from all over Europe. I have known and worked with Mingo for many years, starting from his bachelor thesis; he was one of my brightest students and is now an excellent researcher and promoter of Open Source geo. Those who know Mingo know his big bright smile and his endless enthusiasm. Please welcome Mingo as an OSGeo Charter member. For the sake of simplicity I put him in CC, in such a way that he can directly confirm to be interested in such nomination. Best regards.
