👋 Hi! I'm a geospatial product owner leading a cloud-native data engineering team in Wellington, New Zealand. We help process nationally standardised & open datasets - like aerial imagery and elevation data.

🌏 Looking forward to seeing a bunch of awesome people in Aotearoa for FOSS4G 2025!

Sharing my favourite recording from FOSS4G SotM Oceania in Hobart late last year. Such a cool keynote from Andrea Jalandoni on the application of photogrammetry, lidar, hillshades, false colour imagery etc for rock art research.

Was at a small concert in a small town one night and the opening act said "this one's for all the geographers out there" and started singing about latitudes and contours: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zbi...

Open source software users: what would help you feel comfortable contributing to documentation for a project? What do you need to know? What are your roadblocks? Does any particular project do a good job of cultivating or welcoming documentation contributors? #gischat

(1/5) My employer, Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (linz.govt.nz) is now sponsoring GDAL (gdal.org/en/latest/sp...).

I believe we are the first government mapping agency to directly sponsor the project. Would be great to have some peers join us!

@briannaritapagan.bsky.social @satellitesci.bsky.social @opencholmes.bsky.social I think we need a #30DayMapChallenge but for open data providers to promote their best work. Preferably analysis-ready / cloud-native / open-format etc. Each October leading into the map challenge?
