I'm a Web Developer from Brussels.
I work as employee in a small company from Laeken (Brussels) named GEO-6 since 2005.
We mainly develop web applications using web mapping.
At first we used our own MapServer (developed by a former employee - running under Windows to display MapInfo files) with our own JavaScript library to display and interact with the map. Yes, we totally reinvented the wheel ... not very clever I agree.
In 2013, we finally decided to switch from Windows to Linux and switch from our custom map applications (difficult to maintain) to open-source solutions. We choose to use OSGeo MapServer, Leaflet JS Library and the power of GDAL library. Very (VERY) happy to have switched even if today I regret to have chosen Leaflet over OpenLayers (which seemed a little bit "old") and so currently (slowly) migrating from Leaflet to OpenLayers 3.
I also work as Freelance Web Developer on my spare time. Also in web development but not "limited" to web mapping applications.
I'm an OpenStreetMap member since 2012 but did my first real contribution last Saturday (not very proud about having waited 4 years to finally contribute) : http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/jbelien +
I graduated as a geographer several datum changes ago, and remember clearly discovering the magic of gdal in my search to become digital and shpless. Now, 40 years later, I don’t know anyone that can’t find their way through the world using mobile mapping tools.
At a MapServer user meeting in Ottawa in 2004, I found and embraced a vibrant, innovative and sociable community of such diversity, everyone had a place, and a role in growing a movement.
As a participant and presenter at several FOSS4G conferences, I know how passionate OSGeo is about our community. In whatever small way I may have contributed, I have gained far more in return.
I am particularly interested in engaging community in land use decision making, and in mapping the negotiated and overlapping jurisdiction of colonial and indigenous world views.
I am fortunate to call the Yukon home, but I still stay connected with my OSGeo family everywhere. I value and respect diversity; and honour those who give of themselves to further the dreams of others. +

Hi there! I'm just a typical junior in New Jersey in an engineering school. Right now OSGeo is the one organization I've been focusing on. Cmon, it's an organization dedicated to map making. How cool is that!
I really loved fiddling around with topographic maps as a child, and this love for geography still lives on to this day as a deep personal interest of mine. Yes, call me a nerd for analyzing topographic and climate maps in encyclopedias because I had nothing to do. I have no shame in it, because it was something I found exciting as a child.
As of now I am studying to become an engineer. What field of engineering, I don't know! Only time will tell. For now I'll just do what I enjoy doing. Things I also do in school. Typical nerd stuff, like Math League and Science Olympiad and Robotics. Although, one thing I can say about myself is that I'm a great cook. +

Evangelist of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). FOSS GIS teacher. Trained more than a hundred Geologists of Geological Survey of India, as head of it's training division at Hyderabad, India. Currently developing FOSS GIS for transparent administration in India. 'mana-rajahmundry.org', is a website developed for society with various themes like roads, toilets, schools, drainage etc. A similar website is being prepared for the City of Mysuru, http://www.mana-rajahmundry.org/namma-mysuru/. Being a Geologist mapping the districts of Godavari, Andhra Pradesh for Free Geological Geospatial data. GeoheritageIndia.org, which will generate GIS related locations of Geological significance, is in the making.
Present Interest: 'Crowd-sourcing', with Android smart phones, for various societal needs is present endeavour. Open Data Kit (ODK) and OSMAND are used for 'Mobile-GIS', with training workshops. Building specific forms/questionnaires for crowd-sourcing Geospatial data is also in progress.
As A Geologist: Experience from mapping Western Himalayas, Sikkim Himalayas, Glacier Mapping and Water Budgeting of Zemu Glacier, North Sikkim started career in early seventies. Mapping eastern Ghats and the Bauxite contained there in Odisha State, is a favorite memory while Exploring Deep-Seas for Poly-Metalic nodules, and near shore Placer Minerals (Monazite, Ilmenite, Garnet)of Bay of Bengal, Off Andhra Pradesh and Odisha coasts is a more recent thrust. +

Kristin is very interested in building a stronger and more diverse community by making OSGeo events, discussions, and products more accessible to a wider group of people. She has worked with a number of conferences (FOSS4G, FOSS4G-NA, SOTM, SOTM-US) to help design and/or execute travel grants and/or scholarships to help people attend events that otherwise may have been out of reach. She served on the LOC for FOSS4G 2014 and has been involved in the Code of Conduct committee since its inception in 2015.
Kristin works with faculty and students at Reed College on all-things-analytical, focusing on statistical + computational software, research design, and data management and presentation. She is also the main geospatial + mapping resource on campus, where she works to integrate different types of geo/spatial work across the curriculum. She is an active member of PDXOSGeo and does her best to keep track of the folks to north (CUGOS, Seattle). +
