@kyakundwa @KasZamil @DrMusenero How does one access the data? Care to share any links? Curious to know how usable it might be.

@KasZamil @DrMusenero It's actually free. If you have a smart phone, you can access this data. It's meant to be educational.

Uganda's minister of Science & Technology @DrMusenero talking about their satellite PearlAfricaSat-1 aka "a big box with wings which captures the sunlight.." 😑🤨🤔 Good lord almighty!!!

@rioba_riri @Shel_Kariuki Thanks!

@kadoch @Shel_Kariuki I believe you would find R libraries more powerful in that. R has these libraries you can look into: sf, raster, spData, tmap, together with some dplyr and tidyverse it will get the job done.

Asking for an engineer on my team! There's mutual interest on the topic 🧵 Is there an R/Python library that maps ground features of one unique location onto another unique location? #rstats #r #rshiny #python #geopandas #numpy #machinelearning

@carlitos_m_h Thanks! Let's explore that.

@kadoch I don't know any libraries for this purpose but the "Transfer learning models" are used for that, also you can use others datasources like WISE or SoilGrids

We appreciate the fact that the training data across these geographies may not be homogeneous, so we're keeping that in mind. We're thinking along the lines of a mapping library in R or Python. Let us know if there's a hack for this.

For context, we have a typical machine learning workflow with training data from one country and we'd like to map that data or the features in that data to any other location in the world.

Nice thread 🔥 Fascinated by "Changes on our planet" and to that effect, currently working with an amazing team to explore long-term changes on earth with a focus on Land. Work with Open and reproducible workflows for most of my(our) work.

@Shel_Kariuki Go girl! Happy Birthday and Congratulations.

Today being my birthday, I want to appreciate everyone who responded in any way to this tweet. After several conversations and one amazing interview, I finally bagged a contract with them this month, and I get to use #rstats all day every day...perfect christmas/birthday gift 💃

Day 6 - Red of the #30daymapchallenge City Roads - With a Focus on Kampala, Uganda's Capital. Data from @openstreetmap @UNRA_UG

#30DayMapChallenge Day 2- Lines Uganda's Rivers 🌊

Day 1 - Points of the #30daymapchallenge 🔥 🔥 🔥 Live fires detected in the East African nation of Uganda over the last six months. Anyone know why the Western part of Uganda seems to be burning more compared to the rest of the country? Cattle feed 'biz' perhaps? #gischat

#rstats #rspatial #shiny peeps, A friend would like to put an R model into production. Goal: dashboard, with maps/graphs/stats and an API. Work with time series satellite images & other spatial data. If you think you can help, please DM me. cc @Shel_Kariuki

Great job from @kateregga1 & @ndongamadu on francais tx talking about @foss4g2018 at #sotmafrica

We're discussing how to strengthen and foster emerging #OSM communities in #Africa at #sotmafrica.
