[OSGeo-Discuss] GeoAmbassador– Professor Charlie Schweik

2017-12-02 Thread Suchith Anand
Dear colleagues,

On behalf of GeoForAll community , it is my great pleasure to honour Charles 
(Charlie) Schweik  as our GeoAmbassador. Charlie Schweik is a full professor at 
the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA in a joint appointment between 
the Department of Environmental Conservation and the School of Public Policy.

Charlie has an undergraduate degree in Computer Science, a Masters of Public 
Administration from Syracuse University, and a PhD in Public Policy from 
Indiana University. At UMass, since 1999 he’s offered regularly an introduction 
to Geographic Information Systems to undergraduate and graduate students in 
natural resource conservation majors, as well as to students in UMass’ Masters 
of Public Policy and Administration program. Schweik began his research career 
studying landcover change -- usually deforestation or reforestation -- using 
GIS and Landsat satellite-based remote sensing, and connecting that to the 
social science study of natural resource “commons” governance and management. 
But beginning around the year 1998, his computer science background converged 
with this interest in commons and common property regimes, when he first heard 
the phrases “Free/Libre” or “Open Source” software. Since then, much of his 
research has focused on the study of Free/Libre and Open Source Software 
(FLOSS) as a form of Internet-based collective action. In 2012, he published 
his book, Internet Success: A Study of Open Source Software Commons (MIT Press) 
[1], which included a statistical analysis of over 170,000 open source software 
projects, looking for factors that lead projects either to ongoing 
collaboration or project abandonment. One of the chapters in the book studied 
qualitatively six OSGeo projects, investigating similarities and differences in 
the way they are governed and managed. Among other things, he learned from this 
study that open source software collaboration is not about the establishment of 
large development teams, but are usually made up of smaller teams of two to 
three developers with an interest or a “user-centered need” for that software. 
He also discovered that more than half of the successful ongoing collaborations 
in his dataset gained a developer from another continent [2]. Since completing 
that work, Schweik continues to expand his interest in the potential and 
promise of global Internet-based collaboration in the development of open 
source scientific hardware and in open educational resources (OER).

Most recently, he gave a GeoForAll webinar [3] where he emphasized the untapped 
potential of the GeoForAll network in online collaboration in Free and Open 
Source for Geospatial research and education, and is actively trying to 
encourage educators and geospatial scientists at GeoForAll labs to find areas 
of mutual need and interest, to start cross-lab collaborations in 
FOSS4G-related research or educational content development. GeoForAll lab 
members with an interest in collaborating with another lab on educational 
material, make your interests known by entering a record in the OSGeo wiki 
table at https://tinyurl.com/GFA-collaborations  or contacting Charlie directly 
at cschw...@umass.edu

GeoForAll is committed to work towards the vision of the United Nations 2030 
Agenda for Sustainable Development for building a better world for everyone. 
Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a 
public good and that technology in general and the internet in particular 
provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse 
knowledge. Openness is key for true empowerment and sustainability.

We are proud to honor Charlie as our GeoAmbassador and we are extremely 
grateful for his contributions to GeoForAll.

Best wishes,

Suchith
