Am I crazy for wanting to use Apache Airflow and PostGIS to build a geospatial data platform for my org? Is that a dumb idea? #GISchat #geosky

PSA to GIS Professionals: friends don’t let friends create data products with invalid geometries. #GISchat

None of this is official, but there have been NWS bots setup to get weather info, alerts and warnings. nws-bot.us

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

The administration got rid of 18F under the cover of night. People who own skyscrapers are afraid of 100 people who make websites. Not because of the latest tech fad, but because we proved the government can be fixed, the government can be made better and the government can work for the people.

We're seeking funding to take @source.coop to the next level.

This is a really nice, simple distillation of the vital role NOAA and the NWS play and how private companies cannot replace what they do.

Tell me you're redlining without telling me you're redlining

the first good post i think i've ever seen from a democratic committee account

🔥🔭🌲 What is something you want to try that connects your professional and personal worlds? I would love to stay in a fire lookout tower. firelookout.org

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

And so it begins. #GISChat If you're using and rely on Federal Data sources for your work, do you have any alternate sources if the data you rely on is suddenly unavailable? @deepseadawn.bsky.social - will Esri keep Federal data in Living Atlas? www.eenews.net/articles/gro...

Anybody know of any open source tooling that can help me with evaluating/planning radio coverage? I can only find is GRASS-RaPlaT: e6.ijs.si/RaPlaT/GRASS... #gischat

A pretty solid read if you want to learn about CRS’s and the difference between a foot and a survey foot.

I think most of my #GISChat friends have heard of and used colorbrewer2.org tools for their maps - but have any of you checked out mapcolpal.org yet?

I don't know how many of y'all are watching the migration of American TikTokers to RedNote, but it's the most fascinating thing I've EVER SEEN HAPPEN ONLINE. 🧵
