TIL about a new [to me] society of geospatialists in Australia: ASIERA - the Australasian Spatial Information Education and Research Association

...of course there's no web site. Just whispers in the anzlic parchments, around water coolers...

...yet here they are, poppin' up to label a conference stream and apparently representing a significant part of the spatial information industry!

It is probably the same 5 old prunes and their anointed proto-prunes. Mark safe to ignore...

Can your current spatial SQL engine ST_💩()? We didn't think so!

As part of our ongoing attempt to innovate on spatial SQL in Apache Sedona, this we're proposing emoji shorthands for most functions which (1) improve expressiveness, (2) helps more SQL fit on one line and (3) reduces the number of bytes required for large SQL queries. #gischat

New article! Fantastic article from Mahdi Nazari Ashani and colleagues, showing how a SLM (Small Language Model) running a GIS can be run solely in a web browser tab with no data shared externally https://doi.org/10.1080/15230406.2026.2625987 #GISchat See their data at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.30670553 and their code at https://github.com/mahdin75/awebgis
