🎤 One of today's keynotes at #FOSS4GEurope explored how open geospatial data is reshaping modern forestry🌲.

Satellite missions 🛰️ , global canopy height models🌍🌲, and open-source geospatial tools 🛠️💻 are helping integrate global and local data to build richer, more dynamic representations of forest ecosystems 🗺️, supporting better monitoring 👀 and more informed management decisions📊.

🎙️ Today is the deadline to submit your talk, lightning talk, or workshop for the FOSS4G North American conference this fall in Sacramento, CA.

Share your open source #geospatial projects!

Are web maps getting worse? – Spatialists – geospatial news

Helmut Barz argues that #GoogleMaps is suffering from #enshittification, as a profit-driven pivot toward #AI-derived map data and a focus on lucrative urban markets leaves rural areas stranded in data deserts while the community that built the map is abandoned. He makes the case for reclaiming geographic data as a decentralised #publicgood.

How to fit a city into 32mb – Spatialists – geospatial news

How do you fit an entire city into 32 MB? Game Maker’s Toolkit’s deep dive into GTA III’s engine reveals how Rockstar Games squeezed a 4 km wide open world into the PlayStation 2 RAM. And the techniques turn out to be familiar to anyone working with #3D geospatial applications: #streaming, #LOD models, and #memory optimisation.

SOME SHARED SPATIAL/GIS ROLES & OPPORTUNITIES
--
w/e June 26th, 2026 | GLOBAL but North America focused (as currently based there)

• I am NOT associated with HR/recruiting in ANY way
• Therefore, these are NOT endorsements, and there are no ‘referrals’ or the like for me
• I am simply sharing SOME roles I have seen – in the hope that they are of use to someone
• As such, I am not (and indeed can not) in any way ‘vet’ these roles (i.e., PLEASE do your ‘due diligence’ / use your judgement (with the hideous prevalence of ‘ghost jobs’, ‘fishing’, fraudulent so-called recruiters, etc))
• Further, roles listed are in no specific order (i.e., simply as I ‘encountered’ them during the week)
• There is ZERO cost to access this list of spatial / GIS roles
• I am not (really) ‘mining’ US Federal government roles - with the ‘hiring freeze’, uncertainty, etc
• You can subscribe to the (free) weekly LinkedIn newsletter www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7397678824928366594 or also for free at earthstuff.Substack.com - if so inclined
