Lorenzo Stucchi obtained his BSc degree (2017) and MSc degree (2020) in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. From June 2020 to January 2021, he was a temporary research fellow at the GEOlab of Politecnico di Milano in the project ViaLibera?!. The project was focused on the Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) for the collaborative mapping of the barriers and accessible paths for people with motor disabilities. Since February 2021, he has been a PhD student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in collaboration with Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico - RSE S.p.A. His research activity is focused on Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing for the renewable energy sector.
Since 2016 Lorenzo has been active in the OpenStreetMap community, serving as an officer of PoliMappers (treasurer, vice-president and social media responsible).
Since 2018 he has been a member of Wikimedia Italia, the Italian local chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation and Wikimedia Foundation. He served as Lombardy region volunteer coordinator for 2020, and since 2021 he has been the National OpeenStreetMap coordinator for OpenStreetMap.
In 2022 he collaborates in the partnership between Wikimedia Italia and GFOSS.it for the organisation of FOSS4G 2022 and SOTM 2022 in Firenze. As part of the FOSS4G 2022 Local Committee, he contributed to the organisation as the co-chair of the volunteers. +
Luca Congedo is an environmental engineer and researcher working in the fields of GIS and Remote Sensing since 2009. He has a Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering (110/110) at Sapienza University (Rome), Engineering Faculty, and he is a Ph.D. student in Landscape and Environment at Sapienza University. Luca Congedo has published over 20 scientific papers and working papers. He is the developer of the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin for QGIS, an open source plugin that allows for the semi-automatic classification of remote sensing images, including several tools for the pre processing and post processing of images. Since 2013 he is author of the blog "From GIS to Remote Sensing" (https://fromgistors.blogspot.com) that aims to foster the use of open source software for environmental monitoring through tutorials and videos. +

Luiza is a Data Engineer at StormGeo, where she develops and maintains large-scale data pipelines supporting global weather and energy forecasting. With a background in data engineering, machine learning, and open-source geospatial technologies, she has built and automated hundreds of ETL pipelines, Map Tiles solutions, and others.
She is currently pursuing a master’s degree focused on graph-based scheduling optimization, formulating scheduling as a selective list coloring problem. Her research combines graph theory, optimization, and machine learning to improve real-world resource allocation problems.
Luiza has been an active user and advocate of FOSS4G tools and presented at FOSS4G 2024 on “Uber's Open Source H3 Index in Open Source Projects: Simplifying Distance Calculation and Data Storage" (https://talks.osgeo.org/foss4g-2024/talk/VJQSYT/).”
Beyond her professional and academic work, Luiza is passionate about rock climbing, jiujitsu, and building silly tools that make life easier. Her main programming languages are Python, SQL, Bash. +

As an OSGeo member, Maning would like to Strengthen the OSGeo-PH Local Chapter and promote OSGeo in the Philippines through training and material development. His area of focus is Mindanao Island. +
Started with PAMAP GIS in 1992 with Council for Yukon First Nations, bounced around a few other GIS contracting for awhile, mostly for First Nations, and then landed with Yukon Government in 1998. Still there now, much to my surprise. Was heavily involved with Osgeo4W for a number of years as wiki janitor, mailing list mod, and sheparding on the `apt` commandline osgeo4w package manager. Last few years my Osgeo involvement is mostly just a regular ol' tool user, folded in where I can with the Esri stack. +
