Individual membership in GeoBI initiative

I am proud to announce my new entry in GeoBI initiative as individual member!


Why do I want to become an individual member?

I was Inova GeoBI initiative leader and now I want to go on alone as single member representing myself and provide my expertise, diligence and experiences in order to help the Community and the whole initiative to grow up.

How do I plan to contribute to the initiative?

I'd like to continue as single professional all my activities regarding the GeoBI until now done as leader and Techincal Committee member. In particular, I will contribute in software development, articles and presentations preparing, conferences partecipation, results dissemination trought websites, blogs and other channels.

My relationships with the initiative members

As leader of the GeoBI initiative until now I have of course contatcs with the initiative members, in particular with Inova, Engineering, Camptocamp and Spatialytics.

More details about me and what I have already done in this context, here.

Thanks to all the current members!

Italian INSPIRE Interest Group


A Forum area dedicated to Italy, called "INSPIRE - Italian Interest Group" has been created on JRC INSPIRE portal in order to encourage discussions on the INSPIRE DIRECTIVE in Italy.




This initiative has been launched by Massimo Zotti, my ex-colleague and Sales Manager of Planetek Italia, together with the president of AMFM Association, Mauro Salvemini.

Massimo invited me to join and I think it is a very good opportunity not only to partecipate but also to share ideas, experiences, points of view with the GeoBI Community. GeoBI initiative, in fact, focuses not only on open source software but also on the adoption of open standards in the area of Location Intelligence.

Stay tuned!
