All,
I am honored to nominate Dr. Franz-Josef Behr as new OSGeo Charter Member.

Dr. Behr teaches FOSS for gesopatial software and geodata (obviously
including OpenStreetMap) since he started to teach as professor of
Geoinformatics 9 years ago [0].

He is founder of the SUAD MapServer project [1], opencts.org and
opengeocoding.org [2].

He is current president of the AGSE conferences [3] which includes an
dedicated Open Source geospatial track. AGSE is an interdisciplinary,
international forum for sharing knowledge about the application of
Geoinformatics with focus on application and on developing countries.
This year it took place from 15. - 19. August in Nairobi, Kenya.

Dr. Behr will be a valuable member of the OSGeo Charter from the
academic world with a functioning Open Source environment for education
and strong ties in the developing world.

Best regards,
Arnulf
