Hi everyone, I’ll be at the Panel One comic show this Saturday, May 31 at Hillhurst Community Centre 11am-6pm with my two new books, which I drew entirely in the GoodNotes app, for an almost 700 combined pages!
Yikes. I mean yay?
Um, hope you can make it. Please share with your friends/enemies.

Thanks to all who supported #OSUOSL looks like OSUOSL made their budget obligations this year https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/sac/2025-May/016735.html
Many government agencies have seen recent reductions in spending, limiting participation in conferences like SotM US. Events like ours are critical for building relationships and sharing knowledge. Government partners are valued stakeholders in collaborations for #opendata.
OSM US wants to fill that gap, and we need your help! This fund will support scholarships for US-based current and recent government employees to attend #StateoftheMapUS2025.

Future of OSL in Jeopardy
by Lance Albertson on Wed, Apr 30 2025
".. critical and time-sensitive situation facing the Open Source Lab. Over the past several years, we have been operating at a deficit due to a decline in corporate donations.
.. recent changes in university funding have led to a significant reduction in CoE’s budget. As a result, our current funding model is no longer sustainable and CoE needs to find ways to cut programs
(Please share)"
As mentioned in last post, #OSUOSL is in jeopardy and has been a vital component of #OSGeo for the past 20 years. More details about funding are here - https://osuosl.org/blog/osl-future/
The Oregon State University Open Source Lab ( #OSUOSL ) might be forced to shut down and terminate all services this year due to a decline in corporate donations
#OSGeo servers, among other Open Source foundation servers, are hosted in the lab's data center.
Can you think of any way to help out ?
The Internet keeps getting narrower as more nodes surrender to the big actors taking it all, let's not make it happen !
Oregon State University | Open Source Lab ( #OSUOSL) is in jeopardy of shutting down this year because of budget cuts. OSUOSL has been vital to the functioning of OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation) https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/sac/2025-April/016732.html Projects under #OSGeo are #PostGIS, pgRouting, #QGIS GeoServer, GDAL, GEOS and others which are foundational software for the GIS community both in Open Source arena and others. If you know any corporations willing to support OSUOSL, please pass the message along.
Pg Day Chicago 2025 is over, but we would like to take a moment to thank our speakers, staff, volunteers, and sponsors for all your hard work, dedication, and support! We hope to see you all again soon!
