I came back somewhat refreshed from Foss4gna and a bit frustrated. Overall - it was pretty decent. I don't get that excited about Reston. It was "meh". Flying isn't currently fun - not that it was much for me but it was less so this time. #foss4gna
Partly a recap of #FOSS4GNA, partly a reflection on 2025 and life.

Probably my favorite slide from #foss4gna, given that all the map work I do is on web or mobile, it's essential that all the #gis capabilities are coming directly from the server/database, most often #postgis or #duckdb
It's high tea time at the #FOSS4GNA A Great way to end day 2 of the conference.

Say hi at #FOSS4GNA and grab a zine from our table!
It's cool being in the same room with a QGIS developer. Martin Dobias....whose name I have mispronounced in my brain for several years #foss4gna #qgis #osgeo
Same. I added a meetup at #foss4gna for #gischat, felt like it could be good to meet the online geo community in person and possibly discuss the above too
Hmmm.... Does NYT know it's #foss4gna this week? 🤔
I can't sleep. #foss4gna day one had a great showing at the career fair, workshops, and hootenanny. The schedule is packed with interesting talks about work being done to speed up processing.
Any #foss4gna friends making dinner plans for tonight?

I cannot say this enough.
The committee volunteers for #foss4gna are the friendliest and most dedicated people I have ever worked with. It is both a joy and an honor to get to meet with these folks weekly.
#geospatial Bluesky friends, excited to present next month at #foss4gna on recent advances in the SpaceTimeID construct, applications beyond international borders for other spatial features & research and software gaps that need addressed. Real progress has been made.
