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.

Bridging the divide: teaching about migration and drawing on academic geography Karl Donert
A presentation from Tine Beneker at the IGU-CGE 2021 Conference from the GeoCapabilities 3 project which looks at academic geography and the importance of teachers connecting with disciplinary knowledge and teaching about challenging geography topics in schools, framed by a social justice context. This presentation explores (the role of) access to and use of relevant and ‘new’ academic knowledge by teachers in the project.
Geocapabilties Workshop: presentation at the AAG 2016 conference San FranciscoKarl Donert
GeoCapabilities has been an NSF and EU-funded project which aims to improve the quality of education and training in Geography by providing support for dealing with complex issues in geography. The capabilities approach ensures educational aims are clearly in sight. Quality learning and teaching implies sound content knowledge, pedagogic awareness and knowledge of the students being taught. To be successful, teachers need to be effective 'curriculum makers' and therefore leaders in curriculum development as well as in their own disciplinary areas. GeoCapabilities ensures that geographical knowledge underpins curriculum making efforts and addresses a conceptual framework for curriculum thinking in geography.
This workshop introduces the GeoCapabilities concept and approach. Participants are encouraged to reflect on the activities and outcomes of the GeoCapabilities Project (http://www.geocapabilities.org) and consider how a Capabilities approach, involving Powerful Disciplinary Knowledge, Curriculum Making and Leadership Perspectives can be used to enhance student engagement in higher education. enhance spatial thinking and improve the quality and outcome of higher education courses in disruptive times.

mod-geocache / mapcache - A fast tiling solution for the apache web servertbonfort
MapServer MapCache (formerly known as mod-geocache) is a new member in the family of tile caching servers. It aims to be simple to install and configure (no need for the intermediate glue such as mod-python, mod-wsgi or fastcgi), to be (very) fast (written in c and running as a native module under apache), and to be capable (services WMTS, googlemaps, virtualearth, KML, TMS, WMS). When acting as a WMS server, it will also respond to untiled requests, by merging its cached tiles vertically (multiple layers) and/or horizontally.
We created GeoIQ to bring the power of complete data management, geo-enablement, visualization and analysis to business users. GeoIQ extends the functionality and usability of all that you see on GeoCommons.com while operating in much the same way – it is web-based, easy to use, and provides access to all 16,000+ GeoCommons data sets.
GeoIQ includes an advanced analysis engine that enables you to see trends and relationships (correlation, differencing, and change over time) in your data that were before unseen. You can visualize and analyze massive amounts of data - both historic and real-time, proprietary and open source, to quickly make decisions and allocate resources within your enterprise.
Fieldtrip GB is an app for Android and iOS which enables users to collect data against quality cartographic background maps. It's custom data capture forms allow users to collect exactly the information they need to support their research and export the data in a useable format.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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!
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON.
