Since 1994 I have been professionally engaged in a variety of mapping and geographic information management projects, spanning from tourism to environmental remediation, citizen science, biodiversity, utility surveys, and more. In time I have also been increasingly working on outreach related to mapping (and free/open-source mapping), with steering roles in national associations. Between 1997 and 2013 I have been following closely European Union developments related to mapping. Namely, I have worked as the facilitator for one of the INSPIRE Directive working groups, and I have been invited to provide input in various consultations.
