Dear Friends of GeoBeer
We hope this e-mail finds you well (sincerely!).
A new year is a new year for GeoBeer! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We held GeoBeer #35 in December, after all, and want to give a you a brief review of the event.
GeoBeer #35
We "met" online on Zoom and, meeting and mingling being a bit more difficult in this setting, we put a bit more emphasis on the talks. We had three great ⚡ lightning talks by Daria Luedtke, Riccardo Klinger and Regina Obe.
First, Daria Luedtke, CTO of Wegaw, Steering Committee member and Western Europe ambassador of Women+ in Geospatial, spoke to us about Women+ in Geospatial and gender (in)equality in our domain. You can find Daria's informative and sometimes truly sobering slides here: Women+ in Geospatial – Community building to promote gender equality in geospatial.
Next, Riccardo Klinger of digital-geography.com and based in Germany gave us an interesting presentation on vector tiles and styles. In it he gave a technical overview of a workflow using Tippecanoe and Leaflet plus the VectorGrid plugin as a simple vector-tile-capable viewer. You can find Riccardo's slides here: Pankow Vector (S)tiles.
Last but definitely not least, Regina Obe, PostGIS Project Steering Committee member and core developer, President of Paragon Corporation and based in the USA, gave us a talk about some really cool upcoming features in PostGIS 3.2.0 (by now released). She highlighted, among others, ST_DumpSegments, ST_Boundary support for TINS, postgis_raster and changes to postgis_topology. You can find Regina's slides here: PostGIS 3.2.0 Coming Highlights.
