Dear CRO and all,<br>
<br>
we would like to nominate Dr. Nikos Alexandris for becoming an OSGEO<br>
Charter Member.<br>
<br>
Nikos has been a long advocate of Open Source GIS and OSGEO [1] and has<br>
been one very active person in supporting both since 2007 (and we know<br>
him since). He actually sees OSGEO as the means to actively cultivating<br>
a technologically advanced and socially aware geospatial way of thinking<br>
and acting.<br>
He has been actively involved in pushing Open Source GIS and OSGEO in<br>
both academic and industry-oriented settings and his passion has taken<br>
him recently from Greece up to India (TERI and Kurukshetra Universities)<br>
in order to promote specifically GRASS-GIS. He has participated in<br>
community sprints for GRASS-GIS, in the translation of the OSGEO web<br>
site to Greek and has been very active in the OSGEO Greek Chapter and<br>
the Greek Open Source community in general, especially by having<br>
participated in numerous events in Greece<br>
about Open Source in general and Open Source GIS specifically and has<br>
been interviewed about this for magazines. You can find more about Nikos<br>
at [2].<br>
We think that Nikos gathers all the required qualities specified in the<br>
OSGEO nomination pages for a charter member.<br>
<br>
Dimitris, as the founder of the Greek OSGEO Chapter, considers Nikos a<br>
valuable member<br>
of the OSGEO Greek Chapter and OSGEO in general and as OSGEO Charter<br>
Members we both think that Nikos' passion and dynamism will bring a lot<br>
of energy to OSGEO and that he carries all the necessary qualities to<br>
serve OSGEO from many different positions.<br>
