Few words about me.
At present I am working at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institure IUNG-PIB in Poland and at the same time at the Catholic University of Leuven K.U. Leuven in Belgium. In IUNG-PIB I am running several projects, remaining officially on an unpayed leave. Most of the time I stay in Belgium, working till April 2009 within CASCADOSS project as its Technical Director and some other FOSS4G training initiatives performed at SADL (Spatial Applications Division Leuven, K.U. Leuven R&D) User:SADL:
- training on application of FOSS4G in land evaluation addressed to the participants from developing countries; link
- training on OGC WMS/WFS protocols. link
Recently I got involved with SDI domain, within projects targeting INSPIRE (Nature SDIplus, INSPIRE SoP) and SEIS (NESIS).
My professional experience includes: GIS/RS in environmental/agricultural/spatial management domains, spatial modelling (erosion, landsliding, watershed processes), fundamental research on soil science and soil erosion. Recent experiences are: software evaluation, FOSS4G, WebGIS and various aspects of SDI. More details to be found at my professional webpage
I am interested in FOSS4G since 2000 as I was looking for free GIS solutions for my PhD research. Later on I have been using FOSS4G in my enterprise GeoStudio Poland (www.geostudio.pl). Within CASCADOSS I was involved in software evaluation process and general project management. Now I am looking forward to explore the possibilities to utilize FOSS4G in INSPIRE and SEIS. I am strongly dedicated to the idea of FOSS4G as, knowing from my own experience in Poland, the lack of free software for GI and also unavailability of free spatial data, hold the development of GI market as well as diminish the range of environmental assessments and potential scientific progress.
