[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Charter Member Nomination: Jakob Miksch

[Cameron Shorter]

I second the nomination for Jakob Miksch.

Among other things, Jakob has helped the OSGeo-Live team with initial 
research into Transifex translations of OSGeo-Live documentation.

I agree that it would be good to have him included as an OSGeo Charter 
member.

Warm regards, Cameron
