I would like to nominate Gretchen Peterson for OSGeo Charter<br>
Membership. Gretchen is a cartographer, author, and educator whose<br>
contributions to the community have impacted many of us - speaking<br>
personally, I can say that everything I know about designing good<br>
maps in QGIS, I learned from Gretchen. Most recently, Gretchen is<br>
co-author of the book "QGIS Map Design".<br>
