Dear all,
I would like to second Daniel's nomination for charter member!
Daniel has been excellent in serving as part of the Earthzine's
editorial team and it has been always a pleasure for me to collaborate
with him.
Margherita covered most aspects of his professional/open source
involvement; I will just add that he is a great guy!
Please support him to better serve and support the community as OSGEO
Charter member.
Regards,
Dimitris

Hi All,
I'd like to nominate Daniel McInerney for charter membership. He is a
researcher at the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement
in Paris with a strong background in forest monitoring using optical remote
sensing. He is also a big supporter of Open Science.
I had the honor to work with him at the European Commission, JRC [1], where
he had been developing open source tools and applications in the context of
the European Forest Data Centre [2], the European Forest Fire Information
System [3] and the Forestry Work Package of the EuroGEOSS project [4].
Furthermore, he has been working in close contact with the INSPIRE [5] team
and is an expert in OGC standards.
He's also a proficient GRASS GIS power user and offered his support for the
new GRASS website's contents and GRASS tutorial [6]. He is also a power
user of GDAL/OGR, QGIS, UMN Mapserver and R Statistics.
Daniel is always prompt in offering his help to colleagues and users and
his good mood and professionality make him a natural OSGeo advocate.
Finally, let me just mention for the sake of OSGeo representation
diversity, that, in case of his election, he would be the first
representative from Ireland!
