It's been a few years since my last @schoolofdata.nyc from @beta.nyc and a number of awesome partners. Forgot how inspiring it can be! Here's @noneck.org giving some of the remarks, with an incredible combination of insights and humility

I'm in an #opendata week session and realizing that NYC's "Language Access Law" doesn't focus on American Sign Language because Sign Language is considered part of a disability...

Where can I find data on ASL in NYC?

#NYCOpenData - Come learn about the latest NYC tree canopy data at @schoolofdata.nyc where I'll present on my work at @nature.org in collaboration with Uma Bhandaram from @nycgovparks.org

👏 to @beta.nyc, NYC OTI & others for making #NYCOpenDataWeek happen!

Have you missed our webinar Editing LiDAR data in QGIS 3.42 and beyond?

No worries! You can now watch the recording here:

#qgis users - anyone aware of a way to bookmark a specific file in the Browser Panel? e.g., if there's a COG available on the internet more broadly or in an S3 bucket that I often want - any way I can "favorite" that or otherwise have it more readily available when I open QGIS?

QGIS Processing Toolbox tool for Variogram Modeling and Ordinary Kriging using GSTools
This tool automates variogram modeling and kriging within QGIS, providing a user-friendly interface for spatial interpolation.

#gischat folks: any tips on exporting a geotiff with a defined color palette? e.g., in the US, NLCD opens in software with standard colors by class.

Ideally would like a #foss4g solution - an example of using #gdal or #qgis would be awesome and ideal, but welcome other tools too.

#gischat Been wanting to try a serverless webmap of w/ NYC land cover data (6" res data!) as a COG. Finally put the pieces together!

Couldn't quite make it work til I tried adapting @berttemme.bsky.social's example here github.com/bertt/cog/tr... (thanks!)

Tree canopy spans NYC but is inequitably distributed & local context is key in equitably expanding it. To support local convos on canopy our NY Cities team at The Nature Conservancy just released Canopy Fact Sheets for every City Council & Community District at nature.org/nyccanopy
