yes - and it was also ok. The concept is still important to delineate as the users & use cases are sufficiently different.

Giving a name means being able to reason what geography means for personal use and perspectives vs. planning & operations.

@RobynCaplan I can leave my house and be at DCA gate in 18 minutes!

Caveat: early morning, but still!

I love living in a city where you can walk to get Christmas trees from local youth organizations and your kids carry them back to the house.

@jcarlson usually lunches are provided, and breaks have coffee - maybe a snack. Breakfast & dinner usually on your own (including if you buy Gala ticket)

There have been variations over many years, but that’s the usually AFAIK.

Καλό Πάσχα (happy orthodox Easter) to those who celebrate (or are traveling through Greece)

that’s a wrap on a week of geeks at @Esri DevSummit

Several thousand Geo devs
hundreds of live-code, hands on technical sessions lead by core devs

20+ hours of meeting people doing amazing work with @ArcGISHub and our open-source projects

what if, as a society, we reconsidered "time-off" as a balance of both health and enjoyment.

HR could advise
- 1-week of physical 'time off'
- 1-week of mental 'time off'

Last week, I heard from many organizations sharing open data and collaborating to address Climate Resilience, Disaster Response, Conflict Accountability, and local policies

I highlighted a few and you can watch their stories

“All geographers are doing data science, but most data scientists are not learning geography. They shouldn’t be different. Geographers have to bring themselves to the table to make analysis better.”
