Some of them closed during/due to the pandemic, some post-pandemic. Lots of them had one person running them and when that person had to step back (because of work, health, age) the whole thing just folded. I imagine the same applies to a lot of other community groups.

If you could add feeds.feedburner.com/rtwilson/blog that'd be great - various geo stuff, with Python, QGIS, cloud-native geo and more

That's weird - that plane doesn't appear in my imagery

Yeah I assume they've composited multiple images - but I wonder why they've done it for Heathrow and Gatwick and no other UK airports (and most other international airports I've checked have planes)

Yeah, I checked other airports in the UK and abroad. Gatwick doesn't seem to have planes, but all other UK airports that I've checked do.

You might be interested that as they've just dropped out of copyright today, then SABRE Maps has the full set of the initial 1974 OS Landrangers, all georeferenced and freely available to all! #gischat

An alternative is a lightning talk, I guess - if the particular conference has those

This may not help you pick, but I went to this talk at #EMF2024 earlier this year and it was fascinating, and explained some stuff about things like XGS-PON and GPON: media.ccc.de/v/emf2024-30...

Did you run `python -m offline_folium` first, as described in the quickstart? That command downloads the relevant JS/CSS/etc files ready so that you can use it offline.

Could you add me? I post (and blog) about various open source GIS things: GDAL, QGIS, python libraries etc.

I was introduced to maps at a young age, and family definitely like them - but no-one else works on/with maps or spatial data. I was always envious of my grandparents, as my Grandad got a complete set of OS Landranger (1:50k) maps as a retirement gift! #gischat

That's a good question. I think it probably would but I don't think I've tested it in that way. It patches parts of the folium module, so you'd need to import offline_folium before you import geopandas.
