GIS represents one of the last great frontiers (along with Business Intelligence) where the data volume lets everyone work on real computer science. This is a great field, that thrives using public data to make things interesting for the open source developer. I actually like any form of programming in the large, distributing computing, design, the magic of open source collaboration.

Just the links:
 * How 2 Map (blog)
 * Twitter
 * Google Plus
 * Jody Garnett's Blog (Java.net)

Here are a couple of the open source projects I am known to work on:


 * User Friendly Desktop Internet GIS: Project Steering Committee
 * GeoTools - the Java GIS Toolkit : Project Management Committee
 * GeoServer - the open internet gateway for geographic data: Project Steering Committee
 * GeoAPI - no longer active

I have a couple activities to stretch my wings and explore outside of the "Java Tribe":


 * Incubation Committee (OSGeo) Chair
 * WPS Shootout
