      <pre>Dear members of the OSGeo community,

After a period of week to vote, we close the elections system to
confirm and share the results.

*All* the candidates[1][2] are accepted as all of them:

- received a greater number of positive votes than negative.
- received more than a 5% of positive votes over the total number of votes.

Hence, it's my pleasure to welcome our 37 candidates to the OSGeo
Charter Membership, increasing its size to a total of 281 individuals.
Congratulations!

New members, I encourage you all to update your wiki profiles with the
Charter Member badge[3], adding yourselves to the category[4] and
finally if you have not yet done so, add your profile to the OSGeo
Advocates list[5].

We will update the official list[6], publish the detailed elections 
results, pass to the secretary the revised
contacts, and subscribe the new members to the charter-members list[7]
as soon as possible.

Best regards,
Vasile
CRO 2015
