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