We had a great time at the first Berkeley OSPO meetup yesterday! Jarrod Millman and @kirstiejane.bsky.social discussed what the OSPO can do for the #opensource community now, a time when #openscience is more important than ever. Join us at upcoming OSPO + BIDS events: events.berkeley.edu/BIDS

added a cheat sheet to the official Git website (with a lot of help from other folks who work on the website) git-scm.com/cheat-sheet

Jupyter Community Workshops are back! Workshops will be held through February 2026. The call for proposals is open until September 7th! Learn more and submit your proposal here: blog.jupyter.org/jupyter-comm...

New blog post: "Create your own layers in JupyterGIS". Use the power of notebooks to compute custom tiles on-the-fly from Xarray (big) data, interact and collaborate on the map right from JupyterLab. david-brochart.medium.com/cbb995a89b16

📣 We're #hiring a full-time Administrative Manager! Apply now to lead operations, event planning, and day-to-day administrative support for our team at UC Berkeley. First review date is July 11: bit.ly/DSE-Admin-Ma... 📸 UC Berkeley by Mathew Burciaga

My "Introduction to GIS Programming" book has been translated into Spanish Grab your copy here: leanpub.com/gispro-es What’s Included: All code examples are freely available. Access to 26 hours of free video tutorials to complement your learning.

Would you prefer that QGIS opened new projects with a reasonable default basemap? Or do you prefer a blank canvas? Why?

🌱 DSE is #Hiring! Are you a (current or soon-to-be) postdoc with experience in #DataScience, #Agroecology, #AgriculturalEconomics, and/or #AgriculturalPolicy? Apply by 3/15: aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04804

Denver folks — join us for a Geospatial Happy Hour on Wednesday, March 12th at 7 PM MST. Come enjoy drinks, tacos, discussing geospatial data, and meeting the Earthmover team. Register: lu.ma/o6r39p6j

🙌 🎉 🥳 🪅 Congrats to the QuantStack team!! It's been such a privilege to tag along on this work, and I've learned so much from you all! Thank you :)

It's 2025, and I’ve finally updated my Python setup guide to use uv + venv instead of conda + pip! Here's my go-to recommendation for uv + venv in Python projects for faster installs, better dependency management: github.com/rasbt/LLMs-f... (Any additional suggestions?)

HUGE congrats to the amazing QuantStack team for their work on releasing JupyterCAD 3.0!!! I feel so privileged to work with you folks :)

By definition, numerical weather models require international data. The atmosphere knows no geopolitical boundaries: any model that begins and ends at its country’s border is unable to generate reliable predictions until after a weather system crosses its boundaries. Which defeats the purpose!

💻Yesterday the #GeoJupyter effort hosted its first hackathon! 9 attendees w/ @quantstack.bsky.social, @developmentseed.org, U. of Tennessee, ClarkCGA, & DSE collaborated on the JupyterGIS #Python API and a new Docker image! Join a future hackathon: geojupyter.org/blog/2025012...

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

We just launched a 16TB archive of every dataset that has been available on data.gov since November. This will be updated day by day as new datasets appear. It can be freely copied, and we're sharing the code behind it to help others make their own archives of data they depend on.

The JupyterHub team is switching their chat application to the Jupyter-wide Zulip! Blog post: blog.jupyter.org/join-jupyter... Jupyter Zulip chat: jupyter.zulipchat.com

Listening to The Joy of Painting while reviewing pull requests 🎨 Let's put a happy little suggestion to remove that comment 🖌️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. However you think it should be, that's exactly how it should be.

🌱 Introducing: GeoJupyter 🌱 GeoJupyter is a community-owned effort to reimagine #geospatial interactive computing experiences for education, research, and industry! Get to know GeoJupyter's vision & forthcoming #OpenSource tools ➡️ geojupyter.org/blog/2025010... @quantstack.bsky.social #GIS

🎉 🌎 🪐 I'm thrilled to announce GeoJupyter, an effort to imagine and build rewarding new user experiences for working with geospatial data in JupyterLab! 🤗 I hope to see you in an upcoming community meeting or in our Zulip chat (see the post for links)! geojupyter.org/blog/2025010...

Hottest! 2024 was the hottest year and the first above 1.5 degrees centigrade. "The planet's average temperature in 2024 was 1.6 degrees Celsius higher than in the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period." Every month in 2024 was the warmest or 2nd warmest. #energysky www.reuters.com/business/env...

"we've never had to deal with things more intelligent than ourselves before" Wtf is intelligence. We don't understand our own immune systems my dudes. We live inside of ecosystem patterns we have barely scratched the surface on mapping. If we say books have a "working memory" it's better than ours

📣 I'm very happy to share NASA OCSDO Year in Review newsletter! 🚀 Please share with others you think might be interested! assets.science.nasa.gov/content/dam/...

At AGU I spent lots of time talking to NASA people about how agencies could better support the open-source tools they rely on. I argued that our recent collaboration between Xarray and NASA ESDIS on xarray.DataTree was a good model to copy - read about how it happened here! xarray.dev/blog/datatree

🌎 "Data & related tech can help translate traditional ecological knowledge into a language that will be heard by decision-makers, corporations, and the public." - DSE's Magali de Bruyn on #DataScience, #AI, and Indigenous data sovereignty at #COP16🇨🇴 ➡️ dse.berkeley.edu/news/magali-...

We're here! 👋 Excited to find & connect with colleagues and collaborators that are advancing data and environmental science!

Couldn't figure out why a program was hanging today, and then I remembered: _There's a zine for that!_ Check it out, it's free and amazing! wizardzines.com/zines/strace/ That said, I bought "All! The! Zines!" 😁 Thanks @b0rk.jvns.ca :)

Are you at #AGU24? Interested in earth science and geospatial data using @projectjupyter.bsky.social and open source, cloud-native, collaborative tools? I'm around and would love to talk about our new efforts on this front - you can read a bit more here: geojupyter.org/agu-2024

Huge congrats to @row1.ca @choldgraf.com and the rest of the MyST/JupyterBook team! The first alpha of JupyterBook based on MyST is now out! 🚀 Please help us kick the tires and file issues on Github, so we can make this as smooth a transition as possible. blog.jupyterbook.org/posts/2024-1...

uv makes it so easy to go zero to MRE say i find bug in foo==x.y.z, i can repro with: uv run \ --with foo==x.y.z \ repro.py RuntimeError: oh no! test the branch with a fix: uv run \ --with foo@git+https://{giturl}.git@hotfix-foo \ repro.py ✅ just used this today! github.com/pydantic/pyd...
