Hey ⁦@MapsintheWild⁩ Not bragging, but not only do I have a can of beer with a map on it, but my house is on the map. How cool is that? 😎 I’ve added a custom label. Almost seems a shame to drink it. ⁦@BrisBeerFactory⁩ ⁦@OrdnanceSurvey⁩

Hey team, I’m knocking around London this week. Hit me up to talk about #strategic #geospatial!

@geo_will That “box of wires”? You just have a box? I’ve a whole goddam drawer. Still had to buy one on eBay this week for some legacy tech!

Hey, team, here is a quick note on invisible #Innovation. Sometimes, it's best to improve a well-understood process without changing the process at all. strategicgeospatial.com/p/enable-simpl…

🌍 Got an awesome project you’ve been working on with open spatial data? Now’s your chance to share @osgeouk #FOSS4GUK2024 South West! Submit your session proposal ASAP and register for the event Let’s geek out over code and data in Bristol in November! uk.osgeo.org/foss4guk2024/b…

@geo_will @ianschuler @sat_summit What a great question! It’s a yes from me!

The great debate! ⁦@ianschuler⁩ introducing ⁦@sat_summit⁩’s ‘main event.’ Should the humanitarian sector have its own satellite constellation?

@cornish_jack @MichaelJBooks @PFDAgents Love it! Congratulations Jack

One week to go until the publication of The Lost Paths. And it exists as a real live thing! So, of course, I had to make a slightly cringe unboxing video. 😅

@archaeogeek needs your thoughts! In preparation for her talk at @AGIScotland, Jo is collecting as much info as possible about current attitudes to open source software and standards. Can you spare 5 mins to help? bit.ly/opensourceatti… #GISChat #GIS #Geospatial

@cornish_jack All good Jack. Looking forward to a good read. I have to say you’ve broken the record in my Amazon account for time between order and arriving dates 😃. I’m sure it will be well worth the wait!

@ormsbydaniel1 Thanks Dan - hope all is well?

Proof copies are out in the world!

@tomchadwin Hey Tom. Sorry to see this post … thoughts are with you.

@Steven_Ramage @DrGeoffSmith @StevenFeldman @bobchell @1Spatial @OrdnanceSurvey When I met up with @angusscown recently he told me that whilst at Laser-Scan (well technically Yeoman) I showed him this cool new website called “Google”. Your paperwork pre-dates that. Have you hired an extra lorry for your paperwork whenever you’ve relocated?

It’s > 20 years since I joined Laser-Scan, where I learned most about complex geospatial issues and data management. I’ve now finally disposed off the paperwork I’ve been keeping all those years…@DrGeoffSmith @ormsbydaniel1 @StevenFeldman @bobchell @1Spatial @OrdnanceSurvey

@geo_will The Cadell’s on Cavell! 👏👏👏

Mt Edith Cavell

@MapsintheWild @SpatialRed Yeah, the isochrones seem to be labelled MM.DD in 10 day increments. Spot on!

@NoContextBrits Or “aisle” even!

When you keep losing your nan in Tesco.

@NoContextBrits … always check the world food isle.

For even more geospatial good stuff from Bristol join us at the #foss4guk event on 7th September … details at uk.osgeo.org/foss4guklocal2… #foss4g @osgeouk @foss4guk

A quick reminder - the Call for Talks for #FOSS4GUK Local 2023 has been extended to Mon 7th August 2023! So another 5 days to submit your Talk: #call-for-talks" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">uk.osgeo.org/foss4guklocal2…

@undertheraedar That sounds like a NO to the three-wordies then!

@ormsbydaniel1 welcome is everyone, so long as they use lat/long, long/lat y/x, x/y, DMS at some point

Can we have some kind of Global Coordinate Summit where the lat-longies make their case, the x-yies make their case and we come to a final ruling that everyone is bound by? Yes? Y e s ?

Thankfully at least once Twitter self destructs we still have the BBC! Watch: Mexican mayor weds crocodile in harvest rituall bbc.co.uk/news/world-660…
