Good discussion of "the two solitudes" as it relates to the geospatial industry. He does have a solution.

"The concept of “two solitudes,” originally coined in a 1945 Canadian novel to describe the cultural and linguistic divide between English and French Canada, Vaillancourt explored how this historical tension continues to influence business, partnerships, and innovation in geomatics."

#Geospatial People: Is Zenodo a good place to publish vector data that can be used and referenced by authors in their papers? I mean, it generates a DOI and I think that could make it easier to link papers to data.

A man wearing red high-vis road worker jacket and pants is holding the mentioned waffle iron open. He's holding a handle that's been welded to a manhole cover, which is hinged into a base on the other side. The base is a big yellow box with a logo and a blackish top. On the top of the base is another manhole cover -- the bottom plate of the iron.

A finished waffle taking up almost the entire area of the manhole cover is presented on top of the bottom plate.

The demos showcased what the participants were able to achieve in these two days. I was impressed by the variety of use cases, from disaster management to tourism and hospitality. All the participants were able to successfully integrate #ogcapi feature collections, with other datasets that were sometimes less interoperable and needed a lot of "massaging". #FAIR #sprint #ogc #standards #geospatial #datascience

☺️ We've got good news to share in our May newsletter ☺️

👉 Renewing organizational members
👉 OSMCha updates!
