Esri proudly state on their website that they support DHS operations. The same agency that is currently doing door-to-door searches and murdering people in Minnesota. Another reason that UK and European governments need to ditch US global tech companies for open-source solutions

Looking forward to #FOSS4GUK in Leeds tomorrow. I'll be giving a workshop on using QGIS and Mergin Maps for collecting data. Looks like the weather is going to be nice enough for us to do a bit of the demo outdoors!

Technological aptitude shouldn't have to be a barrier to collecting quality data. We try to make collecting data with Mergin Maps as simple as possible with an intuitive UI.

Our latest case study with @camptocamp looks at how they developed a solution for the city of Zurich to collect data on bird nesting sites. It discusses how they overcame the challenge of working with volunteers to collect timely and accurate data.

Citizen science in Zurich with Camptocamp and Mergin Maps

Discover how Camptocamp, in collaboration with Zurich, used Mergin Maps and QGIS to map bird nesting sites, empowering volunteers to collect accurate survey data.

#30DayMapChallenge Day 5 (Journey) - I've been a bit under the weather so I'm a few days behind. My first entry in the challenge today is the 'Journey' my mail in ballot took to the registrar where I'm registered as an overseas voter. I realise I made the graph red but that's not the way I voted. I created this in Python using project OSRM, Pandas and Folium

‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza

Permissive airstrikes on non-military targets and the use of an AI system have enabled the Israeli army to carry out its deadliest war on Gaza.
