I'm feeling inspired listening to Lothar Petrik, the CA State Geographic Information Officer, and Chris Howard from Uber talking about how community is the foundation of our open source geospatial community.

Day 3: Polygons - Park and Open Space Polygons in Aurora Colorado.

Restricting myself to just the city of Aurora, has been fascinating. It has helped me learn about the city it's self, what resources exists within city limits and where they are located.

The Catskills in pure-pigment dots, Seurat-style.
Your eye does all the colour mixing. Up close it's confetti; from across the room it's mountains.

#30DayMapChallenge #GISChat On the 16th, The challenge for that day is collaboration. I was wondering if anyone would want to collaborate with me? I was thinking of having someone take one of my maps that I made and remixing or changing the design or layout of the map I made.

Thoughts?

These last two days have really allowed me to explore making maps in a portrait layout, which isn't something I have experimented with much. Also I don't often hype ESRI much but 3.7 having Override Layout Visibility as a way to handle inset maps. Perfect.

#GISChat #30DaysMappingChallenge Something that popped into my brain just now as I was looking through my books for some quip about creativity was:

Be Scared and Do it Anyway.
Be Scared,
Be Unsure,
Be Doubtful.
But Do it Anyway.

Definitely share your work! And Rachel is right with #1 as well... use the challenge in a way that works for YOU!

1 map, 8 maps, 15 maps... whatever fits your time budget is still a great way to participate! Just set a realistic goal and no pressure needed.
