Hi all, I appreciate being nominated as an OSGeo Charter Member. I've been participating with OSGeo since the 2006 Lausanne conference and am regularly involved in the edu committee and newsletter/journal committee. I've funded sponsorship at Lausanne, Sydney and Capetown and am always giving OSGeo pitches at other conferences I attend. Presently I'm helping lead the OSGeo DotNet programmer community including setting up the OSGeo DotNet mailing list, and helping kick off a new project of OSGeo DotNet programmers called DotSpatial (an API that brings together topology, visualization, data access, etc for the DotNet world). In addition to the DotSpatial project (by the way you can find it at <a href="http://dotspatial.codeplex.com">http://dotspatial.codeplex.com</a>) I manage the open source MapWindow project (<a href="http://mapwindow.org">http://mapwindow.org</a>) which some of you may have heard of. I'd be happy to participate more fully with OSGeo through Charter Membership.<div>
