Switzerland decides against participating in Copernicus – Spatialists – geospatial news

The Federal Council has decided that Switzerland will sit out the #Copernicus programme for another cycle, from 2028 to 2034, forgoing access to operational #EarthObservation services and public contracts while retaining access to raw data under the programme’s open data policy. A government-commissioned economic study had found accession advisable, warning that non-participation risks Swiss players losing their footing in European earth observation.

When I tell the CAD technicians that I need polygons if they want polygons to look like polygons in GIS but they don’t seem to understand what a polygon is

They have a polygon layer with polygons in it already

Here is a quote from an MSF Staff member about how helpful remote desktop mapping is for areas unmapped or not recently mapped.

This is folks helping Gaza from their desks anywhere in the world, much like the Ebola efforts.

The UN Mappers, Missing Maps, OpenStreetMap and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) folks have been working together for years, well over a decade since the 2014 Ebola outbreak and before.
