I'd like to nomindate Alex Leith for OSGeo Charter membership.

Alex was instrumental in setting up the new FOSS4G SotM Oceania 
Committee, and is the program lead for their inaugural conference event, 
which is to be held in November in Melbourne, Australia. Alex attended 
his first FOSS4G in Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, in 2018. Additionally, 
Alex has been a user of open source software for many years, including 
geospatial applications. Alex participates in providing bug reports and 
feedback in project forums, and has a number of small pull requests 
accepted into significant open source projects, like MapBoxGL-Draw.

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