Dear colleagues,


On behalf of the GeoForAll community, it is my great pleasure to 
honour Barend Köbbenas our GeoAmbassador. Barend holds an MSc in 
Geography, specialising in Cartography, from Utrecht University in The 
Netherlands. Heworked for 9 years as a Lecturer in cartography at that 
university and then moved to the International Institute for 
Geo-Information Sciences and Earth Observation (ITC) in 1997. The ITC 
is an international school providing courses on GIS and Remote Sensing 
to students from all around the world, ranging from short courses, 
through 18 month MSc degree courses, as well as a PhD programmes. 
Since 1 January 2010, ITC is a Faculty of the University of Twente. 
Barend is at present Senior Lecturer in GIS and cartographic 
visualisation in the Department of Geo-Information Processing (GIP).



Histeaching subjects include Cartographic Theory, WebCartography and 
WebGIS, Geo-webservices, web application building and 3D 
visualization. Outside ITC, Barend isinvolved in teaching short 
courses and workshops in Open Source GIS & WebMapping, promoting the 
use of the Open Source geospatial applications and data.  The 
Commission on Open Source Geospatial Technologies of the International 
Cartographic Association (ICA) organised a series of short courses and 
workshops on Open Source GIS & Webmapping, for which they at ITC have 
developed course materials and provide teaching staff and 
resources.These are mostly hands-on practical workshops, intended to 
introduce the possibilities of using Open Source applications for GIS 
and webmapping to people who are interested in this technology, but 
that do not yet have much experience in the actual practical use of 
OSGeo applications.


Barend used a set of exercises that guide the participants in setting 
up a webmapping site using OpenStreetMap data, adding their own data 
using the desktop QGIS application, serving that data as a Web Map 
Service using Geoserver and/or Mapserver, and finally bringing it all 
together on a interactive “slippy map” website using OpenLayers. 
Barend is using in general the free and open source GIS and webmapping 
applications from the OSGeo LiveDVD. Barend teach and have taught 
these workshops and courses in many forms: From very short (2 hours) 
to long (2/3 weeks), either face-to-face or using Distance Learning 
technology.

Barend participate in the research activities of the departmental 
Research Theme STAMP (Spatio–Temporal Analytics, Maps and Processing).



His main research interests are:


- Automated mapping in a services environment, with middleware 
services and Open Web clients (using the D3 library).


- Animated vector map services, using among others the RIMapper WMS 
Open Source platform that he developed.


- The SDIlight concept. The term SDI for Spatial Data Infrastructure 
may be usually connected with (very) large regional or national 
spatial data warehouses, but the principles of SDI can also be applied 
in more simple and cost–effective ways. The down–to–earth approach of 
SDIlight provides students and researchers with a platform for 
relatively simple, low–cost, yet powerful ways of
