Excited to give this talk next week (significantly less excited that I need to actually make the slides this week).

You don't need to use AI to be a good software engineer.

Title: You don't need to use Al to be a good software engineer.

Author info: Anissa is a software engineer in the Computational and Information Systems Lab (CISL) at NSF NCAR. Her background is in computational mathematics and science and her current work focuses on creating computational and visualization tools for earth systems science on the GeoCAT team.

Abstract: With claims like "large language models are revolutionizing software development" everywhere, it might feel developers need to integrate LLM products into their workflows or risk falling behind. As we navigate questions about how to use Al responsibly, the case for rejection is often overlooked.

This talk will focus on the inherent limitations of LLM products by examining the foundational computational concepts behind modern Al and present a case for rejecting these tools in scientific software development.

QGIS is one of those cornerstones.

Our GeoCat Bridge extension does what you expect it to do: bridge desktop to server. Publishing your project as map services with metadata so you can integrate these into web applications, or simply allow others to access your maps online or in their GIS desktop.

Using the GeoCat Bridge Plugin in QGIS to Publish Data to PostGIS and GeoServer

I use the GeoCat Bridge plugin with GeoServer. All the data was successfully imported into PostGIS, but in GeoServer, the import was not fully successful. Only some of the data was imported correctly. Some of the data that was not successfully imported into GeoServer shows this error.

GeoCat is joining the GeoNetwork User meeting at SwissTopo this coming Monday.

We will share updates on the project and give a preview of what's coming in GeoNetwork v5, including new features like DCAT-AP metadata and OGC API Records.

Stay tuned for insights from the user meeting.

Last Friday, GeoCat hosted the QGIS Plugin Upgrade Day, organized by the Dutch QGIS User Community.

A group of 13 developers gathered in the former lecture room of the GeoCat's historic office building, where we talked about the upcoming QGIS 4 release, and how that would aff https://dub.sh/07OEbjS
