Sorry for going quiet. I got a full-time job doing some work with #GeoBlacklight and #InvenioRDM. Been working with #Python, which has been interesting.

Still working on a map for Alabama State Parks using #QGIS.

TIL you can add CSV's to QGIS and join them to an existing layer such as a Shapefile.

This week I’m learning about #InvenioRDM, #PMTiles and #COG.
If you're in the area and want to map in OpenStreetMap #chattanooga #foss4gna #osm
@QGIS is developed "bottom up", driven by users demand. Thanks @underdarkGIS for reminding us how we can all contribute to QGIS or how we can make things moving ! #QGISUC2024

I guess GitHub got an idea of what my gis-dockerized project is about and suggested this more mature/robust project to me: https://www.georchestra.org

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get the 24.0 branch to start up successfully yet. It has a LOT of services.

geOrchestra is a free, modular, interoperable & secure Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)

I'm not one to toot my own horn very much, but my https://github.com/lostmapper/gis-dockerized project has been really handy for testing out some tools I've been creating for importing #Shapefiles into #PostGIS and then publishing them as layers in #GeoServer.

Psst…You want to know about the NASA website that spells out your name in Landsat imagery.

I just spent a couple of months tending to a #GeoBlacklight instance.

Next I will be helping get some #Geospatial support into #InvenioRDM.

Anybody else working with these technologies?

I'd also like to do a video on #GeoBlacklight when I can find some time.

Sitting here realizing I'm essentially "forking" geographic data, making changes based on local authorities and wondering if/how one pushes those changes upstream.

I suspect it would just be an involved ordeal to make it happen.

But it also makes me wish for version control for GIS data. Like I even want to be able to make small edits and commit them with comments. "Added new parking location." "Extended X trail" "Split Trail A in to Trail B & Trail C". "Removed abandoned road."

@Nonya_Bidniss here is what Gov #Walz said before he signed the bill.
"This is a politics of hope & joy. This is a politics about a positive future. This is not finding things to divide us. This is not finding the petty to try & see if you can get a hit on Twitter or something. This is truly about doing what's right for the future." Gov Tim Walz March 2023
