Slides for my @foss4gna.bsky.social NA talk, "Cloud-Native Geospatial Metadata with stac-geoparquet" are at www.gadom.ski/presentation...
I subtitled the talk "Practical STAC", because #stac-geoparquet was motivated by real-world problems found while managing large @stacspec.bsky.social systems

Kicking off @foss4gna.bsky.social 2025 with an excellent, delightfully in-the-weeds discussion of remote sensing for disaster response from Katie Picchione
I always love this conference and its wonderful mix of the technical and the personal

It's incredibly normal to feel uncomfortable being near people who are different from you. And your job as a human being is to feel a little ashamed of that, grow the fuck up, and get over it.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

#foss4g-na is next week! I'll be talking Tuesday about #stac-geoparquet and running a workshop Monday with @wildintellect.com on #eoAPI. Quite a few of my @developmentseed.org colleagues will be there as well!
Stop by, say hi, and let's have a chat!

A very imperfect prototype of a map-first #STAC app, it includes:
- stac-geoparquet visualization and download
- Experimental natural language collection search
Uses #deck.gl, @duckdb.org, #geoarrow, and github.com/stac-utils/r...

Aiming for end of the month to announce, but here's what we're working on: developmentseed.org/stac-map/
I'm getting some (much needed) help on the frontend (h/t @indraneel.org), but the core idea is this:
- map-first @stacspec.bsky.social viz
- stac-geoparquet as first-class
The rest is open

Overheard at my post work 🚲🍺: "I told my manager what was going on in Slack, and all they gave me was a check mark. How rude is that?"
Whew... I have Thoughts...
Managing remote is hard. I'm starting to feel old over here bc I empathize with that manager and their check mark ✔️

If you're building a @stacspec.bsky.social catalog, make sure to include a rich, informative text description
As we're experimenting with STAC natural language search at @developmentseed.org, I'm seeing the "description" field as the first entrypoint for the language model...

Many things are 🦆ed in the world, and...
Just talked to a dad who was walking the 4 blocks to our local short golf course with his (10yr?) daughter
He was carrying a tall boy 🍺 and they were going to go hit balls onto to green after course close (sort of against the rules but who the f cares)
