RE: https://fosstodon.org/@sybren/117069899347050032

🗺️ An interesting example of how open #geospatial data can be turned into tools for #accessibility and #inclusion.

Touch Mapper uses #OpenStreetMap data to create tactile maps for any address 📌, helping people who are blind or partially sighted explore places and plan routes 🧭.

The maps can be 3D-printed 🖨️, making it possible to explore geospatial information in a different way 🤲🏼.

A practical guide to map projection mistakes: Dominic Royé breaks down common #map #projection mistakes and how to fix them, with a clear taxonomy of equal-area, conformal, compromise, azimuthal, and equidistant projections. Examples use #RStats, but the lessons apply to any toolset.

Check out @giswqs and his GeoLibre package. He's just released an R package here https://r.geolibre.app/

This is "free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data" is on my winter bucket list.

• As such, I am not (and indeed can not) in any way ‘vet’ these roles (i.e., you are advised to conduct your own due diligence due to hideous, potential risks like fraudulent postings, ‘ghost jobs’, résumé/ATS ‘improvement’ scammers, etc)
• Further, roles listed are in no specific order (i.e., simply as I ‘encountered’ them during the week)
• There is ZERO cost to access this list of spatial / GIS roles
• I am not (really) ‘mining’ US Federal government roles - with the ‘hiring freeze’, uncertainty, etc

📚 💻 A new free course from the UN Maps Learning Hub is now available for anyone getting started with QGIS.

It covers #GIS and #QGIS basics, #mapping 🗺️, data analysis 📊 , and real-world examples 🌍. A useful resource for anyone taking their first steps 👣 with open-source #geospatial tools.

What's better to think about in the middle of summer than geospatial conferences? ☀️

Whether you're looking for your next event or want to share one with the community -- take a look.

📌 🇷🇴 Where do people in Romania live?

We just launched "Unde locuiesc românii?" - a new geo-spatial.org project built 100% on #OpenData and #OpenSource geospatial tools!

We turned open datasets on population 👥, terrain ⛰️, climate 🌡️, environment 🌿, infrastructure 🛣️, and hazards ⚠️ into simple & interactive maps 🗺️ that anyone can understand. No #GIS skills needed.

🌐 https://unde.geo-spatial.org/
(App in Romanian)
💻 Source code & docs are fully open. New ideas welcome! 💡
