On the 8th of May, I am going to be talking about #geoparquet at #geomobLX
GeoParquet is a cloud native format for enabling geospatial interoperability between cloud data warehouses. It is basically a spatial extension of #apache#parquet (:
We went record shopping and she chose two albums for herself. And now she can play them herself, too. She’s kicked my music off the record player a few times already.

Artist Dani Gal has a collection of 700 spoken-word vinyl records that tell a partial history of the 20th century, from Gandhi and Goebbels to Golda Meir and Gamal Nasser. Ahead of a new exhibition at Vancouver's Polygon Gallery, he spoke to Montecristo's Peter Watts about what he's learned from these records, and the stories that aren't told.
