About the Author
Michael Diener
graduated from Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada,
in 2001 with a bachelor of science degree in geography. He began working in 1995 with
Environment Canada as a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) analyst and has continued to
work with GIS technologies ever since.
In 2008, he founded a company called GOMOGI that is focused on building web and mobile
GIS application with open source tools. In 2011, the focus changed to indoor wayfinding and
navigation solutions and building the indrz platform that Michael had envisioned.
From time to time, Michael also holds seminars for organizations wanting to explore or
discover the possibilities of how GIS can increase productivity and help better answer spatial
questions. He is also the creative head of new product development in his company. His
technical skills include working with Python to solve a wide range of spatial problems on
a daily basis. Through the years, he has developed many spatial applications with Python,
including indrz and golfgis, which are two of the products built by his company, GOMOGI.
He is also lecturer of GIS at the Alpen Adria University, Klagenfurt, where he enjoys teaching
students the wonderful powers of GIS and explaining how to solve spatial problems with open
source GIS and Python.
I would like to dedicate this book to my family, beginning with my loving wife,
Silvia, who encouraged and supported me through the writing of this book. I
must also thank my three boys, Noah, Levi, and Jasper, for sacrificing many
evenings and weekends of playtime for daddy’s book time. My parents, Birte
and Hartwig, also deserve a big thank you for always believing in me—thank
you for everything.
