About You

You’re a GIS professional who’s got hands on experience processing, analyzing and visualizing data using a number of different tools, especially QGIS and Arc. You know the ins and out of QGIS and can easily show Arc users how to do the same task using QGIS’s capabilities — or you know the right plugins to install to get it done. You can spot a bug when it pops up, you can script a little python and hopefully you’re active in the FOSS4G community. You want to drive open source forward and know it will take work – but you want to do it anyways.
