Developing infrastructure software can be quiet making it unclear if folks notice how much work it all takes.

@geoserver PSC took a risk sharing upcoming work and asking for help. Proud of my employer @geocat, and consortium members @geosolutions + @camptocamp for answering.

Taken aback and impressed by the strong response from organizations all around the world.

As GS3 starts there will be development updates in the days ahead, for now accept my personal thanks.

It's been a while since the writing energy has hit. So today has been all about punching through a writeup of doing something useful with imperfect data

had a message from an investigative journo, based near me, who reached out wanting to talk because i was on the speaker list at #FOSS4G 2007 in Victoria, and there is a murder mystery which has a link to the conference. remember @pwramsey circulating this, last year:

think they're planning a true-crime-type podcast. can't say the image triggered specific memories, there was an odd shiver, but it's a shivery story, this unidentified woman's set of very specific artifacts
