*Open Source Geospatial Research and Education Lab established at the
Czech Technical University in Prague*
We are pleased to announce the establishment of Open Source Geospatial
Research and Education (OSGeoREL) Laboratory in the Czech Republic at
the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in
Prague. The laboratory is one of the members of a worldwide network
developed under the auspices of the ICA-OSGeo Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU).
In 2011, the International Cartographic Association (ICA) signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Open Source Geospatial
Foundation (OSGeo) with a view to develop global collaboration
opportunities for academia, industry and government organisations in
the field of open source GIS software and data. The MoU aims to
provide expertise and support for the establishment of Open Source
Geospatial Laboratories and Research Centres across the world to
support the development of open source geospatial software
technologies, training and expertise.
OSGeoREL at the CTU in Prague is led by Martin Landa, Department of
Mapping and Cartography. The laboratory is devoted to education in
geoinformatics using FOSS4G, and to research in open source software
development for geospatial applications. Martin Landa is an OSGeo
charter member since 2011 and a member of the GRASS Development Team
since 2006. He is actively involved in the GRASS project as the lead
architect of graphical user interface (GUI) development and PostGIS
integration in GRASS vector architecture.
Geoinformatics at the CTU in Prague: Prof. Ales( C(epek has
established a study program in geoinformatics since 2005 (originally
with Prof. Leos( Mervart), he is the author of project GNU Gama and of
a minor project GNU Sqltutor (both hosted at GNU servers) and the
editor in chief of Geoinformatics FCE CTU journal.
