Dear HOT-List, I would like to yield an interview inquiry about the HOT and am especially looking in the general direction of Mikel, Kate & Harry. ;)
To explain the background of this inquiry a little bit: I am currently a student at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences [1] and writing my master’s thesis in the field of geoinformatics in collaboration with the Institute for Leading Innovation and Cooperation [2]. The topic of my thesis is in general "open geodata" and to be more specific: the necessary competencies and skills in order to deal with open geodata as a new development in organizations. The more comprehensive perspective on this is to identify a first set of success factors in the rapidly changing GI(S)-sector in respect to open data. To give a balanced view I am aiming at two directions: the business world and the non-profit world. HOT is from my point of view a prime example for non-profit work and I am convinced to reach some very skilled and experienced persons via this list. I think there could be a great outcome of your interviews/my work in terms of a little best-practice guide for open Geodata projects. If you are generally interested in my inquiry, I would be very glad hearing from you. If you are able to read German, you can grab a paper written during my first research steps [3]. Otherwise you can have a look at my tiny, humble blog [4]. Or, and that would be my first choice, we can engage in a conversation. I am gladly open to all questions, remarks or hints. The interview would last approx. 1 hour via skype or telephone. Thank you for your time and have a very nice day. All the best from Germany Thomas [1] http://www.hs-anhalt.com [2] http://clicresearch.org/en [3] http://clicresearch.org/downloads/pmc2012_fullpaper_habicht-thallmaier-kandler.pdf [4] http://opengeodata.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hochschule Anhalt (FH) Fachbereich 3 * Architektur, Facility Management und Geoinformation Besucher: Bauhausstr. 05 / Gebäude 08 / Zi. 184 / D - 06846 Dessau Post: PF 2215 / D - 06818 Dessau Tel.: +49 340 5197-1500 (Dekanat) E-Mail: afg {at} @hs-anhalt.de (Dekanat) Web: http://www.afg.hs-anhalt.de -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
