Serve Data, Not Services - Howard Butler - Hobu, Inc
Gone are the days of buying a 2U server and sticking it in a rack in a closet next to an air conditioner. What was once organizational excess compute capacity to provide on-demand network services is now metered and measured in the cloud by the same administration that inventories the office supply cabinet. Excessive middleware is decidedly out of fashion, and concepts like Cloud Native Geospatial, with its focus on cloud optimized formats and JSON metadata to drive desktop and cloud applications alike are taking hold. Howard Butler, president of Hobu, Inc. and leader of the PDAL software project, will talk about formats, organization, federation, archive, and frustration in the process of getting data to and from the cloud.
Howard Butler is the founder and president of Hobu, Inc., an open source software consultancy located in Iowa City, Iowa that focuses on point cloud data management solutions. He is an active participant in the ASPRS LAS Committee, a Project Steering Committee member of both the PROJ and GDAL open source software projects, a contributing author to the GeoJSON specification, creator of the Cloud Optimized Point Cloud format, and a past member of the OSGeo Board of Directors. With his firm, Howard leads the development of the PDAL and Entwine open source point cloud processing and organization software libraries.
Mapping Beck Knob Cemetery - Randal Hale - NRGS
For the past 120 years, Beck Knob cemetery has been a repository of centuries worth of history and culture. It was provided by Joshua Beck as a resting place for slaves and their families. Through the years Beck Knob has been Documented through photographs and small mapping expeditions. In 2022, North River Geographic Systems, Inc and Platinum Geomatics set out to map the people buried in Beck Knob. This has turned into a large data collection project using Mergin (Mobile Client for QGIS). It’s also turned into a providing ground for Pleasant Gardens Cemetery and possibly the start of a project anyone with QGIS can use.
State of Geoserver - Andre Aime - Geosulutions
GeoServer is a web service for publishing your geospatial data using industry standards for vector, raster and mapping, as well as to process data, either in batch or on the fly. GeoServer powers a number of open source projects like GeoNode and geOrchestra and it is widely used throughout the world by organizations to manage, disseminate and analyze data at scale.
This presentation provides an update on our community as well as reviews of the new and noteworthy features for the latest releases. In particular, we will showcase new features landed in the past year, including the newly released GeoServer 2.22, and glimpse of what’s in store for GeoSever 2.23.
Attend this talk for a cheerful update on what is happening with this popular OSGeo project, whether you are an expert user, a developer, or simply curious what GeoServer can do for you.
