I would like to nominate Michael Terner for OSGeo Charter Membership.
I imagine I will not be the only person nominating Michael this year,
but I would be remiss if I did not. Michael, of course, co-chaired
FOSS4G 2017, and his leadership was an integral part of the event's
massive success. Having known Mike for many years, I can speak
personally to his passion for and dedication to growing the open
source geospatial community.
