@maniajack Putin could learn from this. He could have declared that Ukraine would be called Russia and just forced map services to update the name for him. He has done it before with South Ossetia, for example.

[I went to a ‘casual’ seminar by the chief engineer at #Overture a few months ago; I was rightly wary of motives, but what he described in my opinion has challenged me – in a good way – to keep an open mind]
“Who is Overture for? Overture is for developers who build map services or use geospatial data…”

Overture is aiming to establish a baseline for maps data so that companies can use it to build and operate their own maps…”

SEEKING TRAINING RESOURCES FOR CREATING SPATIAL DATA / MAP SERVICES
• USA or online

• platform agnostic (spatial data will be in a #PostgreSQL + #PostGIS enterprise data store)

• self guided and/or instructor lead

... and GO! 🙂

(thanks in advance!)

@glynmoody
Its #virtueSignalling they've moved onto new methods of #suggestion, #autoCompletion of #searchTerms and #propaganda disguised as #news.

They still have the power to deny people to #banking and other web services with onerous #reCaptcha, plans to dominate w #selfDrivingCars, can access people's #email, documents, #cloudStorage, #translations, #homeDevices, and #mapServices etc

Too much #monopoly #power between those four entities.

#Facebook are big but just a #socialMedia platform.
