</div>Originally, I started doing it to gain knowledge and real-work experience<br>
as well as for great fun. After a year or two it became my occupation. A<br>
year ago, I moved back to volunteering in my free time, still for<br>
education, experience and fun. My employer also gives me chances to<br>
contribute to some of FOSS4G projects in my work time.<br>
