New to the List

[Tomasz Adamczewski]

Dear Friends,

My name is Tomasz Adamczewski, I am an Assistant Lecturer and a Research
Faculty Member and Ph.D. Candidate at the Department of Information
Technology of the Karol Adamiecki Higher School of Economics in Katowice,
Poland.

My doctoral project, whose working title reads: "MapServer as a Tool
Supporting Data Analysis in Data Warehouses. Towards New Applications of DM
Solutions Open Source Geospacial Rendering Software," focuses upon the
application of the software developed by your Community as an interface
supporting the analysis of DWH data for such purposes as index analysis,
asset management, marketing, etc. So far, the problems concerning GIS-DWH
integration have been addressed by a highly limited number of scientists and
IT specialists (e.g.: INCO-COPERNICUS Project No. 977091 – a cooperative
project between Technical University Vienna, Czech Technical University
Prague; Lumare GIS, Ltd.; Technical University of Kosice, University GH
Essen, and VEGA, Ltd.,  completed in 2001, and Japanese projects). It is
especially in the context of the application and implementation of Open
Source tools for such purposes that very little has been published.

I would be very grateful for your kind assistance in becoming acquainted
with what has been done in the field by Community members; I will appreciate
any published materials (pdf, electronic or other), backchannel e-mail
exchange or any information concerning possible partcipation in conferences
organized by Community members as well as instructions on how to contribute
projects to the future Foundation.

New to the group, I would like to humbly ask for initial guidance concerning
the netiquette and customs of the Community.

With all my best regards,

Tomash
