What is Dirk's role at Geosparc and how does his involvement in Geosparc influence his project leadership?
Dirk Frigne is the co-founder and CTO of Geosparc. Dirk founded DFC Software Engineering but is now fully committed to making Geosparc successful. DFC Software Engineering is now a Geomajas Certified Partner of Geosparc.
The entire team at Geosparc strongly believes that Dirk **must** be able to effectively lead the Geomajas project where the community wants it to go - and not negatively affect the project due to Geosparc's needs. He must be able to continue to make technical decisions independent of Geosparc's commercial interests to preserve the overall health of the community and the project.
Therefore, Dirk is expressly permitted to make decisions within the Geomajas project that may not always be in Geosparc's best commercial interest. Additionally, a portion of Dirk's time is spent on activities associated with the project at large (vs. Geosparc's own software development). In essence, since the health and vitality of the Geomajas project at large is extremely important to us, we've taken great pains to make sure that Dirk continues to act for the best interests of the Geomajas community at large as he has from the beginning.
What we do
Geosparc professionally supports Geomajas, the open source GIS application development software, coupling the innovation of open source with the reliability of a true enterprise-class platform. Geomajas was built with today's Internet and cloud architectures in mind. This truly differentiates Geomajas from other GIS software.
