Excited for the surge of people joining Bluesky and for awesome starter packs. We can build something special here. Twitter was my only social media & I’ve missed it for the year+ since I left. Bluesky is great, but needed more folks. So to the #gischat topic, I’m grateful for #geospatial community

There's now so many awesome #geospatial people here it's hard to keep track! 🤩

Here's a thread of some of my favourite starter packs so far - let me know what I've missed!

On #GISDay, we honor Dr. Gladys West, the genius mathematician whose 1970s–80s geodetic modeling of the Earth laid the foundation for GPS. Her work on SEASAT & GEOSAT gave us the precise geoid that makes every #geospatial app reliable today. #wow 😮 #WomenInSTEM

Portrait of Dr. Gladys West, the mathematician whose decades of geodetic work made GPS possible. Pictured here in 2018 at age 88, she is smiling warmly at the camera. She is wearing glasses, a navy blazer, a colorful floral scarf in pinks and purples, and a stylish black hat. She holds a wooden cane with a light grip. The soft indoor background is blurred, keeping all focus on her dignified, joyful expression — the face behind the precise Earth modeling that powers every navigation app today.

I'm happy to announce that today is my first day at the #IPFS Foundation. I'll be working on tooling, #DASL, #IPLD and related tech like #ATProto. With a focus on geo.

So I'm doing more #geospatial things again. Stay tuned #FOSS4G.
Photo from some conference of a slide introducing the IPFS Foundation. There are three pictures of the folks that are part of it. On the right side there's a blank space. There is a scribbled face with curly hair and glasses with the name Volker.

I created a cool web app using
Ordnance Survey data - British Placename Mapper (placenames.rtwilson.com). It allows you to search for place names that match various criteria (starts with 'great', ends with 'burgh' etc) and plot them on an interactive map. #gis #geospatial #mapping
