Started with PAMAP GIS in 1992 with Council for Yukon First Nations, bounced around a few other GIS contracting for awhile, mostly for First Nations, and then landed with Yukon Government in 1998. Still there now, much to my surprise. Was heavily involved with Osgeo4W for a number of years as wiki janitor, mailing list mod, and sheparding on the `apt` commandline osgeo4w package manager. Last few years my Osgeo involvement is mostly just a regular ol' tool user, folded in where I can with the Esri stack. +

My current focus is in building the next-generation methodologies and technologies for distributed processing of geospatial data "at scale" using resource-efficient, environmentally-conscious tooling. I'm a co-founder and VP of R&D and Engineering at Astrea, Inc., where lead a team of software engineers delivering modern geospatial applications to multiple commercial verticals. +
Micah works for the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and has been a user and supporter of open source geospatial software since the mid-2000's. Micah has worked to integrate GeoServer and GeoNode into NOAA geospatial data publishing workflows. He led a project to enable better multi-user, enterprise deployment for GeoServer with NOAA and OpenGeo in 2012, and contributed code to GeoNode to prototype a data discovery portal as an add on to the NOAA GeoServer hosting system. Since then, Micah has worked primarily in the open data field, supporting the NOAA Data Catalog (https://data.noaa.gov) and the Integrated Ocean Observing Systems (IOOS) Catalog (https://data.ioos.us). Micah currently works for the NOAA IOOS office helping manage the data publishing framework for IOOS' ocean observation and forecast data throughout the coastal United States, Pacific Islands and Great Lakes. +
Michael Smith is a Physical Scientist with the Remote Sensing GIS Center of Expertise at the Cold Regions Research Engineering Laboratory of the US Army Corps of Engineers. He has been working as a GIS Specialist for 25 years with the last 13 years very involved with Open Source Geospatial. +
I've been using Open Source GeoSpatial software since 2003, originally with TAB2TAB. In 2005 I setup Astun Technology with the goal of being the leading Open Source GeoSpatial business in the UK.
Working as part of a wide community of developers and users has enriched Astun, so we want to put something back. Astun is committed to supporting the community whether through sponsorship of the OSGeo Foundation or providing support to local chapters such as OSGeo:UK and the events they organise such as the FOSS4G:UK conference and QGIS User Groups.
I believe that the community needs to be well funded to be sustainable and in 2017 Astun contributed in excess of £10,000 to various Open Source projects as sponsorship and / or funding code development. Astun also contributed over 90 man days of our staff’s time in helping with events, code sprints, hacks and other activities. +
Mikel leads the Community Team, building diverse collaborations centered on amazing mapping tools and open data, to make positive change on complex, global problems.
As Presidential Innovation Fellow at the US State Department Mikel drove OpenStreetMap adoption across federal agencies. He is co-founder of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, co-founder of Map Kibera and GroundTruth Initiative and Board member of the OpenStreetMap Foundation. He holds a master’s degree in Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems from the University of Sussex, and bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from UC Santa Cruz. +

Marie-Lyne Bouthot est titulaire d'un baccalauréat en géomatique appliquée et d'une maîtrise en géographie de l'Université de Sherbrooke. Son expérience professionnelle auprès d'organismes publics et à but non lucratif l'a amenée à développer une expertise centrée sur les technologies libres et à promouvoir une géomatique accessible et adaptative. Forte de son aptitude à l'analyse et à l'abstraction, elle se spécialise dans la conception et la programmation de bases de données et de systèmes de gestion et de diffusion de l'information géographique sur le Web. Consciente que les technologies de l'informatique évoluent à une vitesse exponentielle, elle est toujours à l'affût de nouvelles orientations et outils qui offrent un potentiel géomatique prometteur. Soucieuse d'un travail efficace et précis, elle n'hésite pas à mettre à profit ses aptitudes pour concevoir des outils qui permettront à son équipe et à ses clients d'optimiser leur travail au quotidien. +
After 23 years of activity in geography, GIS and remote sensing, both in academia and in a private company, Moritz has moved to other horizons and now works on social inequalities and their reproduction through school. Even though he now is pretty removed from GIS work, he continues to follow GRASS GIS development and remains available should the need arise. +
