Hi, welcome to my users page. I work for the Big Data analytics Actian, mostly helping with solution architecture and R&D into the latest application of Hadoop for solving SQL analytics problems.

Gary Sherman now owns and runs Locate Press, though we've partnered to produce another book Geospatial Power Tools which does a deep dive into using GDAL/OGR! Check out his other new books that are in the works.

A brief look at my OSGeo-related past... I was OSGeo's Executive Director (2006-2011) and continue to be interested in partnering with others to keep moving open source geospatial technology to the forefront. One way I'm doing this is to get quality book/training material into the marketplace. After my book (Web Mapping Illustrated) was published in 2005, the need for such support material has become even clearer - business, government and academia (as well as professionals in general) all need high quality material that is reliable in the long term. Learn more about the company I'm building through Locate Press.
