Crowd sourced maps rely on volunteers to help identify features using online tools and satellite images. Examples include identifying Martian craters for NASA, searching satellite images to find Steve Fossett's missing plane, and creating maps during disasters like Hurricane Katrina to share local information. Mobile devices allow real-time crowd sourced data through social media like Twitter to map things like snow levels. While crowd sourcing has great potential, challenges exist with ensuring full coverage over time and maintaining accuracy of the data.

The Social Lives Of Maps: Interaction Design and Mapsweatherpattern
Presented at IxDA New York, June 7 2012
The Social Lives of Maps
People’s use of maps to research and navigate has been radically altered by the development and adoption of digital maps. Maps are no longer static print images. Instead, they are now dynamic and collaborative, as they have evolved in lockstep with the evolution of the Internet, from Mapquest’s launch in 1996 to the Web 2.0 enhanced Google Maps to the user content filled maps of Yelp.
Understanding how maps can be utilized as tools, interfaces, and content is fast becoming part of the standard “tool kit” of interaction designers. A static image or a link out to a map service may or may not be good enough due to raising expectations of the designer’s clients, employers, and people their designs serve. The new possibilities must also be balanced with the issues about privacy and security.
This presentation explores how people’s behaviors with digital mappings intersect with the current developments in location-based services, crowdsourcing, open government, and the mobile web. For the practitioner, basic off-the-shelf mapping tools, APIs, and services are discussed.
Visualizations and Mashups in Online News ProductionAndy Sternberg
Many digital technologies are emerging as production and consumption of news shifts to online media. With the growth of citizen journalism and the increased availability and access to information, data, and analytical tools, online news has the potential to become an effective tool in restoring public trust in media. This paper examines the most promising of these developing technologies.
Feature Detection in Aerial Images for Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (report)Thomas Templin
Robotic aircraft can be rapidly deployed to capture high-resolution, low-cost aerial imagery for the purpose of post-disaster damage and needs assessment. Recently, WeRobotics, OpenAerialMap, and the World Bank captured a set of aerial images from an island state in the South Pacific, to challenge groups of qualified volunteers to develop various classifiers for baseline analysis and future damage assessment. Dr. Patrick Meier from WeRobotics made the imagery available to me, and I decided to design classifiers to detect coconut trees and asphalt/dirt roads. Four distinct object detectors (two ensembles of weak learners and two convolutional neural networks) were developed, of which two (ACF, Faster R-CNN) are based on very recently developed algorithms. Boosted ensembles of decision stumps outperformed convolutional networks in detecting coconut trees. A semantic segmentation network detected roads reasonably well, and performance might be improved by adding more training images, including synthetically generated ones.
Today, more than ever before, maps are being used to bring data to life. In this presentation I will demonstrate how geoviz can make data science more tangible by providing an interactive canvas for spatial data. Gregory Brunner will shows several examples of how maps are being used enhance how we communicate data and how this applies across all scales, including spatial, temporal, and size of data.
OpenStreetMap and CycleStreets: collaborative map-making and cartography in t...CycleStreets
Abstract: The arrival of web-based mapping from Google and others has revolutionised, in the space of only five years, the way many people interact with maps and map data. And the success of projects such as Wikipedia highlight how collation of small amounts of information from large numbers of people - an approach called 'crowdsourcing' - can challenge traditional models of data collection and ownership. Bringing these concepts together is OpenStreetMap, a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Well-established enterprises such as the Ordnance Survey are coming under increased pressure from this new model, and large companies such as MapQuest and Microsoft are starting to use and invest in it. Martin Lucas-Smith, Webmaster in the Department, and one of two main developers of the leading UK-wide cycle journey planner website, CycleStreets, will discuss OpenStreetMap, its use within a wide range of systems (from cartography, routing, and even its central role helping deal with the Haiti disaster) and discuss the challenges it poses to traditional forms of cartography and data collection.
A lecture that I gave on 17th March 2010 at the University of Nottingham on the History of Web Mapping.
Starts with some early history and then tracks the interplay of technology, business and usage in the development of web mapping over the last 2 decades.
Based on a series of interviews with key players in the UK and US, this is a work in progress. There is still quite a lot more needed to complete this.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
