 * (40.72,-74.00)
 * I come from the Java side of the OSGeo fence, getting my start in GeoServer, where I was lead developer for a couple years, and GeoTools, where I still serve on the PMC. My time is made possible by The Open Planning Project (TOPP), a great non-profit in New York that has been the lead supporter of GeoServer for years now.  I spent the last year in Zambia on a Fulbright Scholarship, looking at the potential for open source software to help implement spatial data infrastructures in developing countries.  It was a bit of a failure, but I learned a ton, and I see a lot of potential for open source in developing countries, towards truly open spatial data infrastructures.  I'm back at TOPP, in a new role as VP of Strategic Development, helping to grow the organization, and figuring out how to make our geospatial stuff self sustaining.  Once that's rolling, I hope to reinvest extra revenue in to figuring out and building a truly open geospatial web.  And just like apache and linux are the bedrock that the World Wide Web rests on, so too do I believe that the geospatial web necessarily must be built on a foundation of OS Geo software.  My continuing thoughts on all of this can be found at http://cholmes.wordpress.com

 * Manager of LizardTech's Engineering department, where we do MrSID and JPEG 2000 stuff and play with with the next generation of technologies for supporting raster data GIS workflows. No, our products are not open source -- but we do very much support and use open source and open standards. (I think there is room in the world for both the open and closed development models, and I have a strong interest in helping "closed" companies understand the value of, and contribute to, the open software world.)

I am a big GDAL fan, I have been involved in the last year in an effort for putting GDAL behind ImageIO for widening the number of supported formats. The goal is to make this formats avalaible through GeoTools to the GeoServer.

 * Came to geospatial software through collaborative mapping on the semantic web work. Organising events to get geospatial hackers together with data-creating people and promote public access to state collected geodata. If you are in Europe please see Public Geodata and consider writing to an MEP about public domain data and "intellectual property rights" issues. If you collect GPS tracks, please consider uploading them to OpenStreetmap - my only real contribution to this project is to talk about it a lot. I co-wrote "Mapping Hacks" with Schuyler Erle and Rich Gibson, with a lot of contributions from OSGeo type of people. Last year wrote a lot of software using OSM and OpenGuides with Mapserver to provide a basis for collaborative local "portal" type services on community wireless networks. Now more interested in doing collaborative writing and research projects. User:JoWalsh

The workshop boosted our spirits with a large participation and good articles  on various FOSS software. An entire session was for GRASS, Qgis software.  Presently lecturing in various forums on the capability of GRASS and   allied FOSS GIS. With the help of Free Software Foundation India, trying  to spread awareness of GRASS GIS, GNU-Linux and FOSS. Countries like India have a lot to gain with the spread of FOSS.

 * 13.75°N 100.5°E
 * A physicist/geophysicist/geological engineer who has used GRASS since 1987, and on the GRASS Interagency Steering Committee for the original public-domain package. I wrote the Linux Mini-HOWTO on GRASS-GIS (which is now woefully out of date); and taught short courses in scientific (as opposed to cartographic) GIS since 1980.  In 1994 I moved my teaching to the Web, developing the CyberInstitute Short-Course on GIS.  Currently, I'm at UN ESCAP.  Open-Source is a great capacity- building environment for software communities worldwide.  In developing countries, rather than being stuck merely teaching people to cut and paste stuff within a proprietary office suite, you can be part of the full development team, customizing the software to your community's needs, helping your country to have its own software development community - and hopefully making a satisfying living in the process.

I hope to contribute possitively to the creation of a comprehensive, FOSS based toolkit for Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) that help people share and use geospatial data and information in an easy and cost effective way. I focus especially on the data sharing within the United Nations system and in countries under development. I promote free and open source software as an excellent option for more sustainable development in these countries, proving it works by applying and further developing it in my day to day work. OpenSDI is a forum to discuss foss and cots integration.

 * After some years in the virtual reality field, i got the geospatial religion. With some support from Intel, i began what later grew into the VTP.  7 years after public launch, it is now a thriving community, educational website, and suite of open-source geovisualization software, which is likely to become an official OSGeo project at some point.
 * Emilio Mayorga
 * Rutgers, CAEE
 * New Brunswick, New Jersey (40.505,-74.399)
 * Post-doc researcher at Rutgers, working on global carbon and nutrients exports from rivers to the ocean, and very interested in pushing FOSS tools (geospatial and otherwise) and the open, community aspects surrounding them, into the Earth Sciences community. I'm doing more and more Python lately (and enjoying it), but previously have worked with Perl, C, the whole ESRI stack, Matlab, etc. In my recent, previous life, I was a lead GIS Analyst at a Washington state county; that 5-year experience strongly colored my perspective and interests. I've also worked with a small group compiling and redistributing environmental data (mostly geospatial) for Central America, where I've pushed a FOSSG stack (MapServer, GDAL, qgis). I hope to help out with the Public Geospatial Data Project, focusing on scientific datasets, developing countries, and practical implementations. User:Emayorga
