#UCOSPO

AI-centered conservation efforts can only be ethical if Indigenous people help lead them (commentary) In November, we joined more than 50,000 Indigenous and world leaders, diplomats, scholars and activists at the 30th United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP30) in Brazil. Some of the most central...

📣NEW in Mongabay: DSE's McKalee Steen & Magali de Bruyn share insights on how #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge and Indigenous digital sovereignty are key to creating #ResponsibleAI for achieving #conservation and environmental goals.

Thank _you_ for the podcast! I also really enjoyed Math is for Girls! And happy birthday :)

Amazing episode 😍 Thanks for this amazing podcast, it's my absolute favorite :)

I had such a good time at JupyterCon. Great to see all those faces in real life that I'd only seen on a screen before. What an awesome community :)

Excited to be working with Rosio Reyes, Martha Cryan, @jgrout.bsky.social , and Konstantin Taletskiy on this workshop! 🥰 we joined forces for one mega-tutorial, which isn't reflected in the post below.

Hope to see you there!

Thanks for your commitment to make this event remote-friendly!!! ❤️

We had a great time at the first Berkeley OSPO meetup yesterday! Jarrod Millman and @kirstiejane.bsky.social discussed what the OSPO can do for the #opensource community now, a time when #openscience is more important than ever.

Create your own layers in JupyterGIS Introduction

New blog post: "Create your own layers in JupyterGIS".

Use the power of notebooks to compute custom tiles on-the-fly from Xarray (big) data, interact and collaborate on the map right from JupyterLab.

Thanks Stace! I wasn't aware of and like that approach. The reason I'm asking is to help determine what path we should take with #JupyterGIS :)

Hey Matthew! It was a great time! It was my first time teaching to such a large in-person audience, so it was a bit intimidating. It was a wonderful growth experience for me overall :)

I didn't realize you were local! We should meet up for coffee! I'll DM you on Jupyter Zulip :)

Would you prefer that QGIS opened new projects with a reasonable default basemap? Or do you prefer a blank canvas? Why?

🙌 🎉 🥳 🪅 Congrats to the QuantStack team!! It's been such a privilege to tag along on this work, and I've learned so much from you all! Thank you :)

Yeesssss! It's difficult to express how much of a relief the ergonomics of `pixi` and `uv` are. A world without the "conda base environment problem" felt like a dream for so many years, and we're here now!!! So much easier to teach when you don't have to warn about footguns :)

It's 2025, and I’ve finally updated my Python setup guide to use uv + venv instead of conda + pip!
Here's my go-to recommendation for uv + venv in Python projects for faster installs, better dependency management: github.com/rasbt/LLMs-f...
(Any additional suggestions?)

HUGE congrats to the amazing QuantStack team for their work on releasing JupyterCAD 3.0!!!

I feel so privileged to work with you folks :)

NOAA Employees Told to Pause Work With ‘Foreign Nationals’ An internal email obtained by WIRED shows that NOAA workers received orders to pause “ALL INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENTS.”

By definition, numerical weather models require international data. The atmosphere knows no geopolitical boundaries: any model that begins and ends at its country’s border is unable to generate reliable predictions until after a weather system crosses its boundaries. Which defeats the purpose!

💻Yesterday the #GeoJupyter effort hosted its first hackathon! 9 attendees w/ @quantstack.bsky.social, @developmentseed.org, U. of Tennessee, ClarkCGA, & DSE collaborated on the JupyterGIS #Python API and a new Docker image! Join a future hackathon: geojupyter.org/blog/2025012...

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer.

Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵
