Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Nominating Brent Wood as OSGeo Charter Member
I second Brent Wood's nomination for OSGeo Charter membership. As Bruce has explained in greater detail, Brent has a deep insight into the geospatial industry, open source software, and the OSGeo foundation. He is an excellent advocate for OSGeo and I think it is remiss of us for not inviting to be an OSGeo charter member sooner. Warm regards, Cameron Shorter.

I have known Brent for over eight years, starting from our time as members of the FOSS4G-2009 Local Organising Committee. Brent was a key member of the LOC. Brent is a tireless advocate of open source spatial software solutions. Brent has been actively involved with FOSS GIS as a user since the early days of GRASS & PC MOSS in the early 1980's on IBM PC XT clones, back when a 10Mb hard drive was considered large, spacious and fast! He is not a software developer, but through his role at NIWA, NZ, he has funded work on QGIS, Geonetwork, Geoserver, GDAL & Postgis, and also contributed to the non-OSGEO but open source Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) mapping & analysis tools. He has run GIS, Postgres/Postgis, QGIS and GMT presentations and workshops both through his work, and through other Open Source initiatives in New Zealand for over 20 years, and has been a member of the New Zealand Open Source Society council for some years. A web portal he developed in 2008 (totally open source) was described as "an exemplar for government open data discovery and delivery". The Geonetwork metadata catalogue he implemented for New Zealand's contribution to the Census of Antarctic Marine Life was described as the best such facility of all (global) participants in the International Polar Year/CAML initiative. He is also active in the open data and open standards arenas in New Zealand. He has just been nominated for an award under the NZ Open Source Awards for his contribution to open source in New Zealand in the geospatial arena. As a user, rather than developer, Brent is a regular on several OSGeo and other mailing lists, offering answers and help, as well as sometimes asking for the same. He is a regular attendee and presenter at FOSS4G since 2009, and organises the NZ QGIS User Group. I commend Brent to you as a worthy OSGeo Charter Member.

[OSGeo-Discuss] 2016 elections: extended charter member nomination period
Dear all, The nomination period for new charter members should come to an end in a few hours. Anyway, as this is vacation time for many of us and because I'm still waiting for confirmations from a few charter nominees, I decided to extend the nomination period with 48 hours. Use this time wisely if you have ideas of potential OSGeo charter members. Best, Vasile CRO 2016 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Bogdan is one of the pillars of OSGeo Romania and he is heavily involved in our FOSS4G and open geodata activities.
