-'''Few words about me.'''
-At present I am working at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - State Research Institute [http://www.iung.pulawy.pl IUNG-PIB] in Poland. In IUNG-PIB I am running several projects, dealing with watershed processes, soil erosion as well as application works on SDI and European INSPIRE directive. Recent 3 years I've been working at the Catholic University of Leuven [http://www.kuleuven.be K.U. Leuven] in Belgium - more precisely in one of its research&amp;development units - Spatial Applications Division Leuven ([http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']) [[User:SADL]]: . I was dealing with FOSS4G within two projects:
-*till April 2009 within [http://www.cascadoss.eu CASCADOSS] project as its Technical Director
-*FOSS4G training initiatives performed at [http://sadl.kuleuven.be '''SADL''']
-**training on application of FOSS4G in land evaluation addressed to the participants from developing countries; [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#FOSS link]
-**training on OGC WMS/WFS protocols. [http://sadl.kuleuven.be/sadl/opleidingenDetail.aspx#WorkshopWMS link]
-In late 2008 I become involved in the SDI domain, within projects targeting INSPIRE ([http://www.nature-sdi.eu Nature SDIplus], INSPIRE SoP) and SEIS ([http://www.nesis.eu NESIS]).
-<br> 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 [http://www.erozja.iung.pulawy.pl/pracownicy/rafwawEn.htm my professional webpage]
-<br> 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 ([http://www.geostudio.pl 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 combined with the poor availability of free spatial data, hold the development of GI market, diminishing the range of environmental assessments and potential scientific progress.
