The second 'London "Geo" Meetup' is scheduled to be on 8th April, and I am looking for speakers.
It doesn't matter whether you are professional/academic with years of experience or a fresher/student who's just starting with geospatial, I would love to hear your perspective.
Share about your motivation in GIS, your past, current or future projects.
If you or anyone you know would be an ideal fit, please pass this along or reach out to me at lgm@jsonsingh.com.

Make geospatial matter: “What must the #GIScience community do to matter?” An article by the Geographic Data Service reports from a roundtable discussion that has found the geospatial field “strategically undervalued” and institutionally isolated. @alexsingleton, director of the GeoDS, argues that spatial thinking should be treated as foundational, not as a specialism.

트윗 주장에 따르면 Palantir이 'Maven Smart System'이라는 고도화된 군사 AI 시스템을 시연했고, 위성·드론 영상을 분석해 지휘관에게 1,000개 이상의 타격 옵션을 생성했다고 합니다. 해당 시스템이 이미 실전에 투입돼 이란을 타격하는 데 사용되고 있다는 내용으로, 군사적·윤리적·정책적 파장 우려가 큽니다.
We just concluded the first ever 'London "Geo" Meetup'.
We had about 14 people, and it quickly turned into a round table discussion rather than a standard presentation and listening format.
The summary of the talks and presentation slides can be found here: https://lgm.jsonsingh.com/march-2026/
Next one is already scheduled:
📅 8th April, 6:00 PM onwards
📍 Geovation
🎟️ Free — just RSVP

I prepared two portable builds of QGIS 4 for Windows (full + light).
Run QGIS without installation — just download, extract and launch.
Useful for GIS training, workshops, students, or restricted workstations without admin rights.

Geo-enabling Apache #Hop: @edigonzales has been geo-enabling the open-source #ETL tool #ApacheHop, building #GDAL/#OGR reader and writer plug-ins and adding an interactive preview for geometries: Early days, but promising progress toward a fully geo-capable data integration pipeline tool.
