Hi, my name is Richard and I am a GIS professional since about 1991, so by rights I should have a big long beard.

I work with www.gamma.ie as a GIS Consultant, providing Geo services to the business sector. I also blog a bit about the Irish Geo scene on www.geographic.ie

I am mostly a small scale mapper (the result of having two small kids), doing some edits in Dublin and Donegal.

I attended SotM 2008 and 2009, but didn't get to go in 2010 or 2011. Hopefully I'll make it along next year.

I have run a number of OSM promotional activities, including Mapping Parties and Presentations (with other Irish OSMers) and also lectures to 3rd level students. You can see some of my lectures on SlideShare here: http://www.slideshare.net/GeoGraphicIE

I'm a member of the OSM Foundation and also committee member of IRLOGI - The Irish Organisation for Geographic Information (www.irlogi.ie)

My email address is richard at geographic dot ie and I'm on twitter @GeoGraphicIE (my personal twitter account is @ManAboutCouch)
