I thought I would introduce myself – although I already know several of you, I met Mike at GeoWeb, and I’ve known Arnulf since the last MapServer conference in Minneapolis. I’m a solution architect and technical evangelist at Autodesk, reporting to Gary Lang, whom I’m sure you’re all familiar with.
The reason I thought it would be worthwhile getting in touch with you is to make you aware of some of some of the activities that I have been involved in in promoting open source geospatial and OSGEO as part of my role at Autodesk. For example, over the past year I have included OSGEO and open source geospatial in presentations and panel discussions at Map Middle East, URISA, Map Africa, Map Asia, GeoWeb, Space Technology and Geo-Informatics (Thailand) and other venues. I will be giving a key note on open standards, open source, and open content at an upcoming OSGEO Japan event, and I have several other events coming up.
I’ve also been talking to the media, especially in Southeast Asia, which I think that has helped raised the awareness of open source geospatial and OSGEO in Southeast Asia in particular. I’ll mention a couple of example, an interview that appeared in a ZDNet Asia
Thanks for your update. I have also read your
other articles about MapAsia 2006, MapIndia etc.
Will be giving a talk at the Tokyo Conference
scheduled for 7th Dec 2006. Look forward to
catch-up with you then.
