Hi, welcome to my users page. I work for the NoSQL database company Couchbase (and formerly in Big Data analytics at Actian/Ingres), focusing on product marketing.
I'm proud to have launched Locate Press several years ago, as the first published focused on open source geospatial topics! Gary Sherman now owns and runs it but we continue to partner on the occassional project, the latest being Geospatial Power Tools which does a deep dive into using GDAL/OGR! Check out the other dozen or so new books that are available .
A brief look at my OSGeo-related past... I originally proposed the idea of OSGeo back in 2004/2005. When Dave McIlhagga and Gary Lang put their support behind it, the effort really took off, bringing in dozens more open source geo project leaders and communities. As OSGeo's Executive Director (2006-2011) I ran the day to day operations and together we all kept moving open source geospatial technology to the forefront. Another way I was doing this was 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.
