#CNG2025 Lightning Talk Remember the days of costly satellite imagery stored on tapes? @ausp.io's presentation shows how far we've come with accessing EO data from a tedious, expensive process into a more efficient and globally accessible resource. ▶️ youtu.be/WleNwMhNWfk

This little checkbox should be checked by default on all Git repositories on @github.com Super useful not to need to clean up dead branches after a merge!

4.5 DAYS until early bird registration closes. https://2025.foss4g.org #earlybird #tickets #registration #osgeo #foss4g #auckland

Are we allowed to drink 0% alcohol beer before midday 🤔

I want to complain about maps... Exhibit 1, rare earth elements. Because the OBJECTID_1 and SHAPE__Length are very important indicators of the availability of rare earth elements.

This week we begin rolling out recordings from #CNG2025. First up: @opencholmes.bsky.social on "Towards a Global Spatial Data Ecosystem." As Chris states: "We have the tools and people we need to make a huge impact...as long as we do it together" ▶️ youtu.be/IA9ZvXOnPZ0 New videos dropping weekly!

On our way to @cloudnativegeo.org conf, @ausp.io and I met up in Vegas, hiked Zion, now swinging through Bryce canyon before heading up to Snowbird! Looking forward to a few days of #geonerding

Holy crap Zion National Park!

I’m on my way to the @cloudnativegeo.org conference, sporting my OG cloud native geospatial hoodie from 2020! Looking forward to meeting new people and being absolutely humbled by what people are doing. Also running a workshop Thursday morning, teaching some CNG for EO.

Image generation is so easy. I'm a prompt engineer. Vibe rendering.

Pretty chill kind of watercolour map of some coastal stuff

Got a new M4 Macbook Pro and somehow I have Python chewing up 100 GB in one process and 30 GB in another and the machine is just super happy, smooth as silk. Getting a bit hot doing some kind of neural network prediction stuff, but sailing through! (Would be faster if it wasn't swapping at all...)

Open source geospatial software is older than open source software! Maybe spatial is special 😂 #locate25
