Presentations
- Carpocalypse Calgary
- Carpocalypse was part of the GeoWomen of Calgary "Data by Design" 2021 datathon. Our project uses curated and processed Open Calgary data to imagine the city without cars, employing Python-based machine learning and spatial analysis in QGIS. We will present our results and give a live demonstration. We are a team of individuals from diverse technical domains, working remotely in three different cities and had not met each other prior to this event. Check out our project in GitHub:
- https://github.com/adrianleung60/carpocalypse.
- Notes from Stefan
- Discussion on Projects generally
- At least some structure is helpful in drawing people to work on projects
- We can probably hold at the two current potential projects to avoid spreading too thin
- We'll want to have a place for project notes to be added by participants
- With each of the projects, we will have the smaller project seed-team(?) have the requirements conversations with the orgs and use that to sketch the projects for new folks joining
- Notes from Cultural Centre project discussion
- Scott will give Yui and Nabila a chance to review the website of the sculpture park ( I want to confirm the org is on board before naming them on here )
- Scott will then reach out for more direct contact at the org and promote - again, provided the org is onside, the project as an open-to-all
- Yui and Nabila will take part in whatever follow-on conversations are had with the CCC to ensure they have enough of the details to work from
- Scott will give Yui and Nabila a chance to review the website of the sculpture park ( I want to confirm the org is on board before naming them on here )
- Notes on Conservation Area project
- Stefan and Subhreet have spoken about the project and are ready to have the opening conversation with the stakeholder org
- Scott will help orchestrate that call.
- Scott will create a project area on the WIKI where notes can be added by participants
- Notes on Mentorship
- I spoke with Jessie Letizia - MAGNA engineering and Cartography nut - and she would be willing to post an hour of mentorship/month whereby people could reach out to her and schedule her time to ask questions about mapping projects
- This is considered a good idea. We will keep our eyes out for ways to implement somehting like this.

Some suggestions from the chapter for presentations include:
- Show us your side hustle
- Bring us your problems ( stuff you're working on and issues )
- teach something new ( OS Geo projects or other ).
