I talk about geospatial stuff on LinkedIn. Here is more of a catch-all of geospatial, maps, outdoors, fitness & life.
Check this out: My colleagues from @developmentseed were featured on the @geomob podcast presenting our #OpenSource solution to efficiently distribute satellite data with #eoAPI - https://thegeomob.com/podcast/episode-291
291. Jonas Sølvsteen/Henry Rodman: eoAPI

Alastair is joined by Henry Rodman and Jonas Sølvsteen to discuss eoAPI, a new initiative from Development Seed.

Al fresco lunch before it gets too hot to sit outside. Enjoying this book on writing in the age of AI. While I’ve been learning and experimenting with how AI can help me do my job it’s also caused me to be drawn to understand the human elements of my craft better. For the things that matter I don’t ever want to lose the human element.

Starting Monday strong 💪

Finished one blog post last week. Another one this week. Check it out if you like STAC: https://developmentseed.org/blog/2025-05-07-stac-geoparquet/

Happy Mother’s Day to those of us who had to parent ourselves. I see you 💗

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the State of the Map US Public Service Scholarship Fund! What generosity! And we still need your help.

Please consider making a contribution to the fund, which will support scholarships for US-based current and recent government employees to attend the conference.

State of the Map US Public Service Fund

Many government agencies have seen recent reductions in spending, limiting participation in conferences like SOTMUS. Events like ours are critical for building relationships and sharing knowledge. Government partners are valued stakeholders in collaborations for open data. OSM US wants to fill that gap and we need your help! This fund will support scholarships for US-based current and recent government employees to attend State of the Map US 2025 in Boston June 19-21, 2025. When a significant percentage of the revenue goal is raised, OSM US will open the scholarship application. In the event that donations exceed scholarships, unexpended donations will be used to defray the operational costs of SOTM US. Help OpenStreetMap continue to thrive as a key component of the US spatial data infrastructure. Assist us as we maintain crucial networks, strengthen government capabilities, and make a positive impact in the lives of dedicated geospatial professionals. These scholarships will not be possible without funding, so invest in the future of public service today!

Super burned out feeling like I have to constantly churn out content to feed the content machine. It can feel paralyzing. I’m stuck there right now and instead focusing on “real” writing. Got some good blog posts in the works right now and writing and editing those feels so much better.

Our team is excited to lead an Earth Foundation Models tutorial workshop at IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) Symposium in Brisbane, Australia.
