Flyer titled “Mapping for Equity – Big Bush Playground & Park,” promoting a community event using OpenStreetMap and BetaNYC’s Mapping for Equity Toolkit. The field mapping session will take place on Wednesday, August 6th, from 3 PM to 5PM at Big Bush Playground, with attendees meeting by the Flag Pole & Restrooms. The flyer includes illustrations of a lamppost, park bench, trash can, and fire hydrant. At the bottom are logos for BetaNYC, New York City Council, and Council Member Julie Won, District 26. A registration link is provided: beta.nyc/e250806-rsvp.

Come map with us and the Office of Council Member Julie Won at Big Bush Playground! 🗺️🌳

We’ll be using OpenStreetMap to document your neighborhood's public spaces and help quantify the public realm.

📅 Wednesday, August 6
📍 Big Bush Playground, Queens
🔗 RSVP: beta.nyc/e250806-rsvp

The deadline for the questionnaire has been extended till 7/7 - go check it out if you haven't already, and help inform the path towards equitably expanding tree canopy to 30% of NYC!

Geez... I thought that was bad and then saw the other photo in the reddit thread. What a crazy and sad scene 😔

It's been a few years since my last @schoolofdata.nyc from @beta.nyc and a number of awesome partners. Forgot how inspiring it can be! Here's @noneck.org giving some of the remarks, with an incredible combination of insights and humility

Love it! While I don't really miss my commute from SI to MN overall, the ferry part and occasional bike rides were always a points of relative calm :-) Enjoy!

I'm in an #opendata week session and realizing that NYC's "Language Access Law" doesn't focus on American Sign Language because Sign Language is considered part of a disability...

Where can I find data on ASL in NYC?

(if you need performance gains... but I also realize it can work fine to let things run for a while while you do other things too)

Its been a while since I've done big vector operations in R, but a while back I went pretty all-in on using PostgreSQL/PostGIS, in part for big vector analyses, finding it to be the most performant. There's definitely overhead in getting things set up but could be worth a try?

#qgis users - anyone aware of a way to bookmark a specific file in the Browser Panel? e.g., if there's a COG available on the internet more broadly or in an S3 bucket that I often want - any way I can "favorite" that or otherwise have it more readily available when I open QGIS?

Have you had a smooth experience getting big datasets from open data lately? It seems like the backend workflow for readying data to download changed and it's struggling. Was trying to get shapefiles of forestry work orders and building footprints, and it goes to "export initiated" and just hangs 😒

Oh, that's neat - I've gone to using gdal directly via command line more, at least for larger datasets, when it meets my needs, but awesome that the functionality is in terra!
(And great to see ya here @mdsumner.bsky.social!)

Thanks again @postholer.com - that was so simple and effective! Can't believe it's been years of me trying to figure out an easy approach that did that.

Ooh, that's neat! I'll have to give that a whirl. The less setup and dependencies, the better

Looks like I'm finally finding a solution through python/gdal gis.stackexchange.com/a/325751/25195 Curious to hear other approaches too though.

#gischat folks: any tips on exporting a geotiff with a defined color palette? e.g., in the US, NLCD opens in software with standard colors by class.

Ideally would like a #foss4g solution - an example of using #gdal or #qgis would be awesome and ideal, but welcome other tools too.

That a *lot* of what I do isn't that complicated... Yeah, some of the how I do things is tough because of big datasets and such, but I think GIS sometimes is sometimes unnecessarily mystified and made to feel less accessible than it can be. The dominance of expensive software doesn't help #gischat

Some summary points about the position in the attached image

Figured it out - exceeded the GitHub LFS free tier... for now have just bitten the bullet to have 1 packet of data and bandwidth so it "just work" in Chrome and Firefox without having to further mess with CORS issues and such. Thanks again for the suggestion to just use github for the storage!

Eh... disregard... thought I had that working, and now it's not

tnc-ny-science.github.io/nys_cities_s...

Took a bit of trial and error to figure out how to get the file path for github lfs that works for this but this works in both Chrome and Firefox for me

Good to know! It looks like it should just fit in the 2 GB file size limit. 🤞. And nice to know I'm not alone in cors issues 🙃

Yay! Yeah... I went way deeper into dev tools exploration in Chrome than I ever want, so kinda know what's going on but fixing it is pretty beyond my knowledge at the moment. I'll have to try from another source though and see what works
