Régis Haubourg

Geospatial data administrator at Agence de l'eau Adour-Garonne (French Water Basin state agency)
Engineer in agriculture sciences, specialized in Water management, I focused on GIS approaches since 2002. I have been working at the interface with scientists and decision makers in Marine research institue (IFREMER) and agriculture research center (IRSTEA-irrigation management).

Since 2005, I manage the GIS infrastructure and data of Adour Garonne Water Basin Agency. I designed and maintained the water data portal http://adour-garonne.eaufrance.fr based on open source components only.

Since 2010, I migrated all internal tools to Open Source Postgres-Postgis + QGIS to allow user to make cartographic-wise decisions on priorities.

This use case lead to a specific commitment in QGIS community, as a user and bugtracker, but also as a funder.

I follow many osgeo project and am willing to share thoughts of an europenan institutional funder with OSGEO community. A key feature in France is to find clean and simple way to make open source compatible public contracts, allow sponsoring when needed.
