We've done it 🥳 Finally, there's a canonical paper on the #qgis project, its history, workings, and challenges: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666389925001138 Thanks to @timlinux and @mbernasocchi for joining me in trying to tell the QGIS story 💚 #osgeo #gischat #giscience

@foss4g.org I hope we get to see a heap of Cartographic presentations and workshops. I feel we really don't have enough Cartographic training down here in Oceania! Do you agree? And if not, where would one go for more? 2025.foss4g.org/attend/call-... #foss4g #qgis

Big thanks to Randal Hale rjhale1971.bsky.social at North River Geographic for your blog using SLYR to convert an #ArcGISPro template to #QGIS. This is exactly what we had in mind when designing it. Oh, and we’ve already fixed the issue with Dynamic Text—it’ll be in the next update shortly!

Still my favorite music and app interface. 10,000 labels to review or hours of GIS scripting & editing to do? Get out of your music rut, double down on your music rut, practice languages hearing native speakers, great shows on community radio. Explore live radio by rotating the globe. radio.garden

Henrietta came into the store today. She was born in Palestine and asked me if I had any maps of the region. She told me about living in Bethlehem and Jerusalem and going on a motorcycle ride from Damascus to Istanbul. We got to travel together briefly with this 1946 map from National Geographic.

The fact that replies are disabled to the original post is telling. Women are more likely to sued for defamation when they complain. Out of Brittany Higgins allegations, 14 defamation followed.

Awful, spineless decision. #gischat #giscience

I launched this site with fire history animations from across Australia a couple of weeks ago. We released an update this morning, the site now 32 regions you can zoom into and download, providing a more detailed view of fire spread across the continent. Site link animation.landscapeknowledge.net

the Ability To Duplicate Copying data from one place can be important, especially if governments are limiting access to public data. I wrote a little thing to demonstrate how to duplicate geospatial data w/ modern tooling (obstore, #stac, stac-geoparquet, etc). www.gadom.ski/posts/atd/

Is it safe to assume that Russia itself now has access to computers inside the US Treasury, IRS, FAA, FBI, CIA, etc.?

So what's GeoDeep? Just a bit of object detection and segmentation:

I chose literally the dumbest moment in US history to be professionally into maps.

Friends, I usually listen to news when folding laundry but that’s too much right now. What podcasts or books on tape should I switch to?

Illustrating the impact of current federal policies with maps is a good idea, but where do we find the data to make these maps? If we can start a list of sources for data, we can work together to show it. #gischat

Not sure about "cold shower" but these seem like intuitive fixes... (Creator: unknown)
