[OSGeo-Discuss] New Voting Members Selected

[Rafael Medeiros Sperb]

Dear All,

First of all I woul like acknowledge the support that the Brazilian
community has received. Two members are more than we expected.

For the last five years we have been working to put together all the people
and efforts related to MapServer in Brazil. We are now about to launch the
Third MapServer User's Meting, which is going to happen in Brasilia. So, I
am sure that our affiliation to OSGEO will some how bust the event. We are
also expecting some international key speakers... is this right?!

Second, one must mention the excelent and fast job that has been done in
order to organize OSGEO. It is possible to seen the open source mud in every
email...

Finally, I am a little quiet in the list, though very active in our
projects. I hope to become more loud over time. I will list underneath my
profile, as requested.

There as several projects under our resposibility. The most important one to
OSGEO is the MapOracleSpacial connection, which we have been maintaing and
giving support (I guess most of you know Fernando Simon already). Sonn we 
are going to have some demos of our projects available to the public.

I guess that is it.
