Earlier this week we wrote that the schedule was looking pretty full for the coming months.

Well, Geomob Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 organizer Gala Camacho @gala took that as a personal challenge, and has set the date for the next Edinburgh event as 🗓️ Tuesday, 24th June.

Sign-up is open, speakers are needed:

Should be a great event for the Scottish Geomob community, but also a fantastic excuse to head north for a visit and enjoy the midnight sun. Hope you can join us.

"Come for the deforestation, stay for the puffins"

What a way to boomend the #GeomobEdi talks this evening,
@geomob

Climate Action Map (for Southern Scotland): was built as an analytics tool, found they've actually built a communications tool.

Kiran explained and showed the map to #GeomobEdi. Great storytelling of an important subject.

Including the difficulties of using detailed #OpenStreetMap data, but they want to use all the pavement/sidewalk data.

Looking forward to seeing you all tonight at Geomob Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

this was a lovely, if tiny action!

kept my pool noodle worn sword-wise, it felt so wide and wobbly fully horizontal! big Vappeby speaker makes a good portable soundsystem, escorted Rosanna round town blasting out feminist anthems

ended up at an Edinburgh-Glasgow joint council conference about safer infrastructure, "A Tale of Two Feminist Cities", they let us in and gave us lunch, I saw @gala from #geomobEDI there. sneaked out a tray of vegan wraps for Zero Waste Hub

@freyfogle and @stevenfeldman sit down after a busy two-week period which saw #geomobBER #geomobLON and #geomobEDI!

They discuss the quality of the talks, the role of sponsorship moving forward and hint at possible expansion plans into new cities, including a possible first event in North America!

wasn't really feeling the Joy of GeoSocialising but glad i made it out at all, enjoyed the talks, saw the #GeomobEdi usual suspects' faces, met @freyfogle in 3D!

Particularly interesting talk from a long-serving ambulance responder who now runs a startup on the side, doing emergency location assistance, based on all their long experience of pain points. So little love for W3W, a service for when you've abandoned hope!

The other talks were all right too i suppose ;p
