I had the opportunity to meet Asger a few years ago and I enjoyed his enthusiasm and openness towards his open source work. Over time, he has been participating to many foss4g events. Even more, I remember that at FOSS4G 2013, his map won 'Best open source integration' and 2. place in 'Best overall cartographic display'.<br>
He has been actively involved in organizing the first Danish QGis Dev Conference this year [1].<br>
I think that through his interests, contributions and organizing activities, Asger deserves to be named a Charter Member of OSGeo.<br>
<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>

It is my pleasure to nominate Asger Sigurd Petersen<br>
(<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate#Asger_Sigurd_Skovbo_Petersen" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate#Asger_Sigurd_Skovbo_Petersen</a>), from<br>
<br>
Denmark, as an OSGeo Charter Member. Asger is a long-time FOSS4G vocal<br>
advocate and developer in the Danish community. When the Danish<br>
national mapping agency (Danish Geodata Agency) released all of their<br>
data as Open, Asger and others formed Septima, a company focusing on<br>
delivering innovative solutions to Danish citizens through Open software<br>
and Open data. Asger is also involved in several OSGeo projects,<br>
contributing patches and plugins for QGIS, GDAL, and others.<br>
<br>
Asger is very well spoken, in several languages, and has been presenting<br>
at the global FOSS4G events for many years.<br>
<br>
I ran into Asger in the hallway of FOSS4G-Como, and it was once of the<br>
most interesting talks I had that week, hearing his opinions on Open<br>
data and Open software.<br>
<br>
Please welcome Asger's passion and knowledge into the OSGeo foundation,<br>
as a Charter member.<br>
