<div class="m_-3237502207459101064PlainText">Dear members of the OSGeo community,<br>
<br>
After a period of approximately two weeks to vote, we close the <br>
elections[1] system to confirm and share the results.<br>
<br>
*All* the candidates[2] are accepted as all of them were seconded by at <br>
least one existing charter member and no veto was raised<br>
<br>
Hence, it's our pleasure to welcome our 35 candidates to the OSGeo<br>
Charter Membership, increasing its size to a total of 427 individuals. <br>
Congratulations!<br>
<br>
New members, we encourage you all, if not done already, to create/update <br>
a OSGeo Advocate profile to our wiki page[3] and to create an OSGeo <br>
profile page in [4] with a "website" link pointing to the OSGeo Advocate.<br>
<br>
When approved by the OSGeo board, we will update the official list[5], <br>
publish the detailed elections results, pass to the secretary the <br>
revised contacts, and subscribe the new members to the charter-members <br>
list[6] as soon as possible.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Vasile, Vicky and Jorge<br>
CRO 2018<br>
