Hi Bruce,

yes, that's me. I help out with DebianGIS a bit (make no mistake-
Francesco Lovergine does the bulk of the hard work there), but my main
OSS focus is as a core devel for GRASS GIS. which due to integration
means that to a much lesser extent I also dabble in QGIS, GDAL, PROJ.4,
GpsDrive, Gpsd, [general OSGeo], development too. This year I'm helping
out as a GRASS/OSGeo mentor for Google's Summer of Code.

But not to be confused with Hamish Moffatt who is a well known Debian
devel.


In my other life I'm really a contract modeler and oceanographer
specializing in fjords, but through a quirk of office allocation my lab
for the last 8 years has been in the Otago University's School of
Surveying (ie NZs only surveying school) which means I have a lot of
interaction with "real" geodesy and cartography researchers. Over the
years I've also been present at a number of the Spatial Information
Research Center (SIRC) Colloquiums here, which is an annual (mostly)NZ
clan gathering for geospatial researchers. I've worked on some contracts
mapping underwater habitats for NZ's Ministry for the Environment and
Dept of Conservation wrt marine reserves too.

.... Circles are small, so I tend to pop up here and there on a number of
fronts.


regards,
Hamish Bowman
