Hi All, I'd like to nominate Daniel McInerney for charter membership. He is a researcher at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement in Paris with a strong background in forest monitoring using optical remote sensing. He is also a big supporter of Open Science. I had the honor to work with him at the European Commission, JRC [1], where he had been developing open source tools and applications in the context of the European Forest Data Centre [2], the European Forest Fire Information System [3] and the Forestry Work Package of the EuroGEOSS project [4]. Furthermore, he has been working in close contact with the INSPIRE [5] team and is an expert in OGC standards. He's also a proficient GRASS GIS power user and offered his support for the new GRASS website's contents and GRASS tutorial [6]. He is also a power user of GDAL/OGR, QGIS, UMN Mapserver and R Statistics. Daniel is always prompt in offering his help to colleagues and users and his good mood and professionality make him a natural OSGeo advocate. Finally, let me just mention for the sake of OSGeo representation diversity, that, in case of his election, he would be the first representative from Ireland!
