[FOSS4G-Oceania] Nominating John Bryant for OSGeo Charter membership

[Cameron Shorter]

I'd like to nominate John Bryant for OSGeo Charter member membership.

He is currently chairing the FOSS4G Oceania regional conference, being 
run in Australia in November. This conference has already exceeded 
expectations regarding level of sponsorship, interest, and we are 
expecting to exceed expected attendance. This is in a large part due to 
the passion and dedication of the organising committee, which John is 
playing an excellent leadership role in. This builds upon prior years of 
experience using and promoting OSGeo software within local advocacy 
groups, as well as attending international foss4g events.

I find John to be insightful, encouraging of new users, practical in 
implementation, someone who has indicated that he is going to be 
involved in OSGeo for the long haul.

I've communicated with John about officially joining OSGeo as a charter 
member, and he has indicated that he'd be keen to join and contribute 
further.
