Nominee: Lyzi Diamond, lyzidiamond at gmail.com 
<mailto:lyzidiamond at gmail.com> - USA

I would like to nominate Lyzi Diamond for OSGeo charter membership. Lyzi 
is an engineer and an educator, and a great contributor to the open 
source geo community on both fronts. With her work as co-founder of the 
international phenomenon, Maptime (maptime.io <http://maptime.io>), Lyzi 
gained recognition as a community leader dedicated to bringing 
cartography, geospatial technology, and mapping education to everyone. 
Since then she has continued to work towards making geo-related 
information more accessible to all. I often find myself referencing, and 
referring others, to Lyzi's blog posts, articles, tutorials, and talks 
as excellent resources.
