Intergraph Offers $500 Savings for CAU2014@HxGN LIVE Early Registration
| | |
Hello GISuser... and welcome to another Thursday news roundup from the GISuser community. To begin, imagine mashing up some of your favorite things... well, that's what this cool effort from MIT is doing and it really is awesome! Yes indeed, I take notice when I see maps of things I really enjoy, like beer and coffee! Enter these maps showing "walkable regions" for independent coffee shops in major Metropolitan areas like Brooklyn, Portland, and Seattle. For these maps, the researchers used the Google Places API and the Google Distance Matrix" - the maps were developed by a social computing group at MIT as part of the You Are Here Project - be sure to read all about it here. Coffee always makes me think of the PacNW and perhaps the lead story is a good reminder for those of us contemplating heading to FOSS4G this September in Portland, OR. FOSS4G, to be held September 8th-13th in Portland, Oregon, USA is the premier international conference on open source geospatial technologies - See more HERE. Finally, here's details of an awesome opportunity in the form of the Climate Resiliance App Challenge. This contest challenges all developers to create an app using the Esri ArcGIS Platform to help communities, see, understand, and prepare for climate risks. The deadline to enter is June 2 ( More Details HERE).
Have a great day all!

Mashing up Two of My Favorite Things. Coffee + Maps for Coffee walkingshed communities - Independent coffee shops are positive markers of a living community. They function as social spaces, urban offices, and places to see the world go by. Communities are often formed by having spaces in which people can have casual interactions, and local and walkable coffee shops create those conditions, not only in the coffee shop themselves, but on the sidewalks around them. This effort from MIT maps independent coffee houses and defines walkinshed communities from them.
Keep Track of Wildfires with the Esri Public Information Map - Sadly, another violent wildfire season may be upon us as intense weather systems and tinder dry conditions meetup. A reminder from Esri this week came my way in the form of the Esri Wildfire Public Information Map. About the service... View an interactive map of US wildfire locations, perimeters, fire potential areas, global burn areas, wind conditions, and precipitation via streaming data from NIFC, GeoMAC, NHSS, MODIS, METAR/TAF, and the USDA Forest Service, Fire Modeling Institute.
Esri Opens Its Storytelling with Maps Contest - All entries must make use of one of Esri's Story Maps apps. Your Story Maps may be hosted anywhere, including by Esri, but the code for each entry needs to have originated with one of Esri's Story Maps apps. Contest participants may-and in fact are encouraged to-alter or customize the Story Maps app to suit their needs. One grand prize will be awarded to the best overall Story Maps entry chosen by the contest judges.
Explorer for ArcGIS Brings GIS to Everyone - With Explorer for ArcGIS, users can access any of their organization's maps authored in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS. Users are able to search for information about their assets, determine where their assets are in relation to their current location, and share that information easily. The app allows users to share maps several ways including e-mail, text message, and platform-specific methods such as AirDrop (for iOS).
