Tina is a remote sensing scientist who uses satellite imagery to gain insights into critical challenges facing society, and open source software is central to the work that she does. She actively promotes open source through talks, community events (e.g., maptime), and social media, and she is now working with the OSGeo-Live project on R quickstarts as well as with the author of the lidR package to improve user friendliness.
Sharing her open source experience has always been a part of her work as well; she has taught workshops in countries all over the world, from Peru to Nepal, as well as in her home country, the USA. Workshop topics have ranged from programming in R and using QGIS, to processing lidar with open source tools. +

Ulrike Assmann is an active member of FOSSGIS e.V (since 2017) and a member of the programm committee since 2020.
She is currently Senior Hydrographic Cartographer in the Hydrographic Office of Germany (BSH).
Ulrike strives to foster greater understanding and acceptance of FOSS in public administration and to establish the use of open source software. To this goal she conducts feasibility tests, for instance with QGIS and PostGIS, as a power user. Ulrike represents the topic at FOSSGIS e.V. and also at the FOSSGIS Conference. She also networks with the global community at FOSS4G to advance this topic.
Another important concern of her is to improve and lower the barriers to participation for women in the FOSSGIS field. Against this background, she has already organised several Geochicas meetings in connection with the FOSSGIS Conference together with others.
Ulrike received the Nico Rüpke Award (in 2023) for the article "Seekarten mit QGIS – geht das? Machbarkeitsstudie zur Automatisierung der Produktion von A1-Seekarten", published in KN – Journal of Cartography and Geographic Information 3/2023. +
