Dear CRO,

It is my great pleasure to nominate Niroshan Bandara  [1]
as a new OSGeo Charter Member.

He is a young researcher who has shown dedication and commitment
to the OSGeo mission. He exclusively FOSS4G tools for his research and
has contributed to ZOO-WPS and MapMint projects. He is one of the founders
of the OSGeo-SL (SL-Sri Lanka) community. He actively participates
in FOSS4G-Events in Asia and Europe, not only as a presenter but also
conducts workshops on WPS, Mobile-GIS and Open Hardware

He is participating in GSoC projects since 2016 and contributing his time
and effort to improve FOSS4G tools.

His enthusiasm in spreading the use of OSGeo software
makes him an excellent choice for being an OSGeo  Charter Member.

I have obtained consent form Niroshan before filing his nomination.

Best

Venka
