Dr. Thomas, MBA, PMP, is a certified teacher in Math, Economics, English, and Human Geography with over several years of diverse international teaching experience from preschool-prison. He has taught 10 year old high school students how to crisis map and trained other teachers to host Mini- Mapathons. His passion for teaching Crisis Mapping is rooted in his experience teaching through The Tohoku Earthquake in Japan. Following the most expensive disaster in human history, he lead a coalition to do humanitarian relief work in the Tohoku disaster area and took an active part in the paradigm changing Sendai Framework. Crisis Mapping allows his students to co-create meaningful maps, collaborate with UNHCR, Doctors Without Borders, and Red Cross to complete service learning requirements. Dr. Thomas is bilingual and loves to travel visiting over 40 countries.

Eric Theise is a San Francisco-based artist and geospatial software developer. Through videos and performance he reinvigorates the perceptual inquiries of structural filmmakers, experimental animators, the Light and Space movement, and visual poetry as new possibilities in cartography. His concerns include perceptual pleasure and fatigue, geographies of the natural and built environment, and subverting the presumed objectivity and authority of maps.

Since its Lisbon premiere (2022) he's given thirty-plus performances of "A Synesthete's Atlas"–manipulating projected digital maps in collaboration with improvising musicians–across North America. His animation, "If, as it advanced, the countermap's counter twirled the map around and down, spiraling out from Salesforce Tower to Bolinas as unwaveringly as the boléro. (If Map #5)", appeared atop San Francisco's Salesforce Tower throughout February 2024.

Software developer from Munich, Germany. Got into StreetComplete during the pandemic, and soon wanted to contribute code improvements. Somehow became one of the main contributors, and also found more and more things to map in OSM. But that's nothing to complain about :)

Happy to join SotM EU 2024 as my first conference!

OSM contributor for over 10 years on a personal level, and contributing with local communities. Currently a PhD student researching the role of commercial users in Open Data Ecosystems for the ODECO project, at the University of Camerino (Italy).

Ilya has been mapping OSM for a very long time. His attention span is very short, hence he also has written a lot of tools, including map editors, organized quite a few mapping parties in various countries, and wrote some wiki pages on surveying. He spend his free time either improving his Every Door app, or wandering in the city collecting hundreds of shops and amenities for the map.

I was introduced to OpenStreetMap in the early 2010s as a Bachelor's student in Geography. Since then I have completed a Master's degree in Geomatics and work as a research fellow and GIS developer at the European Institute for Energy Research in Karlsruhe, Germany. I work with OpenStreetMap data frequently and have a great interest in analyzing it as a bountiful data source.

Jakub Zmrzlík is the Mapy.cz product manager at Seznam.cz with 15+ years of experience in map companies.

🧠As a trained surveyor, I have honed my skills in data analysis and interpretation, which I have leveraged in my transition towards becoming a Junior Data Scientist. Over the last two years, I have been exploring the realm of GIS, remote sensing, LiDAR, and data processing, which have become my primary areas of interest. My vision of the spatial data industry is that of a puzzle with open datasets, Python, SQL, and Machine Learning techniques being the pieces that need to fit together. In my opinion, the future of GIS lies in Big Data solutions and cloud computing, and I am fortunate to be developing my skills in this direction while working at CloudFerro.

🌎I am familiar with:
👉🏻 Python programming - Numpy, PyQt, ArcPy libraries, GeoPandas, SciPy
👉🏻 PostgreSQL, Postgis
👉🏻 QGIS and ArcGIS
👉🏻Remote Sensing, EO
👉🏻 Extensive processing and interpretation of spatial data

😸Privately I am interested in drawing, cats, dogs and alternative rock.

Mathias is convinced that new forms of cooperation between the state, civil society and citizens are needed for a real transformation to succeed.

About Agora Digitale Transformation:
For us, our democracy is the political "operating system" for citizens: How stable it runs depends on how digital technologies are used in the interests of citizens and in exchange with them. We are therefore working on updates for the operating system of democracy - updates that take advantage of the opportunities of the digital transformation as implementable and practice-oriented solutions. For a strong democracy, now and in the future.

I am 24 years old. I created my account in 2017, but I have been an active contributor to OpenStreetMap since 2019.
Discovering it pulled me into the world of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and led me to switch my academic focus to Geography, which I currently study. I also enjoy the analytical aspect of OpenStreetMap and solving problems related to representing the world in the form of maps and databases.
My main passion lies in refining OpenStreetMap data in Poland, particularly in Warsaw and its outskirts. I'm driven by the goal of improving the accuracy and detail of maps in these areas to make comprehensive geographic information accessible to all.
