Changing jobs: Nieuwland -> GeoCat

With the turn of 2011 to 2012 i had the oppertunity to change jobs. This year i start at Geocat bv (http://www.geocat.net). Geocat is the project lead in the open source project geonetwork (http://geonetwork-opensource.org/), a geo-metadata catalog server. Also they (or we) developed an esri-extension to publish data from ArcGIS to GeoServer, Mapserver, PostGis and GeoNetwork (or any CSW-server), GeoCat Bridge. The extension is sold all over europe, in the US and in Canada. Extra opportunities to visit the open source communities abroad. GeoCat also customises OpenLayers/ExtJS clients for customers in a variety of industries.

Aside the international oppertunities i'm looking forward to working in a fully opensource atmosphere amongst at least 4 great colleagues. I wish everybody a great 2012.
