[OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member Nomination: Peter Löwe

[Anne Ghisla]

Dear all,

I'd like to nominate Peter Löwe [0] for OSGeo Charter Membership. 
He is active in Free and Open Source GIS development for more than a
decade, specifically in the field of remote sensing, but also on rule
based systems, crisis management, high performance computation...

He collaborated with FOSSGIS.de (he has been its very first
non-founding member), Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam GFZ, the
South African Metereological Service (where he successfully introduced
his team to GRASS GIS), Geomancers.net and RapidEye AG among others
[1].
He wrote several GRASS modules, available in Addons [2], and obtained
RapidEye data for i.atcorr module [3], been a developer of the GISIX
live-linux DVD [4]. Moreover, he won several research prizes with FOSS
GIS work [see details at 0,1]

I met Peter at FOSS4G 2010 in Barcelona, and worked with him during
GRASS Community Sprint 2011 in Prague. He has been so far an effective
ambassador of OSGeo in corporate/academic environment, and he would
benefit from the official recognition of OSGeo community to achieve
further objectives.
