Crowdsource the Map! And Intro to OpenStreetMap - Sargent McDonald

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a free and open map of the world created through crowdsourcing. It uses an open data license and wiki format to allow volunteers to collect and edit map data for areas around the world. While Europe has many contributors, OSM is particularly useful for mapping undermapped regions. Major tech companies like Microsoft, Google, and Mapquest have begun incorporating OSM data and layers into their own map products due to OSM providing free and open map data to the public and companies. Local governments and authorities that provide data to OSM may benefit from partnering with the OSM community as they can receive map data in return to use or improve.

The first step of collaboration is figuring out what is and isn't working through communication, such as annual department meetings and bi-monthly meetings with governance groups. Success comes from delivering projects on time, under budget, and satisfying users, while failure occurs when projects are late, over budget, and don't meet user needs. The document urges building on past successes through continued collaboration.

Individual metering of energy consumption provides benefits to building owners and tenants. BTU meters allow for more accurate measurement and billing of energy usage, which can lead to reduced consumption by 30% or more. Modern static BTU meters are more accurate than mechanical meters and require less maintenance. Automatic meter reading systems make it easy to remotely collect meter data with minimal manual reading required.

This document discusses district cooling as an environmentally strategic option. It notes that district cooling can help address challenges from ozone depletion and climate change by utilizing more environmentally-friendly refrigerants. District cooling provides benefits like improved energy efficiency from operating chillers at optimal conditions and utilizing renewable energy sources. However, implementation concerns must be addressed regarding the initial and operating costs, reliability, expandability, and ensuring fair pricing and provider selection for end users. The document was presented at the 2011 Kuwait District Cooling Summit by a refrigeration expert from Kuwait's National Ozone Unit.

District cooling involves providing cooling from a central plant to multiple buildings via pipes. It started in the 1930s. A case study on a residential area in Jaber Al-Ahmad City found that a district cooling system with thermal storage could provide yearly energy savings of 40% compared to conventional air cooling systems and reduce peak power usage by 50% on average. The district cooling plant would have a capacity of 41,670 tons and use 101.9 GWh of energy annually to serve over 1,600,000 square meters of buildings.

Continuous Integration for Oracle Database Development

The document provides information about continuous integration (CI) for database development projects. It discusses how version control, automated testing, and continuous deployment can be applied to database code and artifacts. Key points include: - Storing database scripts, structures, and data migrations in version control to allow for automated deployment and rollbacks. - Maintaining a "trunk" version that serves as the single source of truth for all changes. - Taking nightly backups of a production-like environment and deploying changes since the last build to test integration. - Generating deployment scripts by comparing the trunk to the current production version. - Running automated tests after each deployment to catch errors early.
