Pozi has had an exciting year thanks to our integration with QGIS! It's been a game changer for us and we're thrilled to see what the future holds.

When a software vendor announces that your GIS needs to "move to the cloud", I have serious questions...

I've been on a journey moving from point-and-click GIS tools to working almost entirely in SQL, and it is 💯 but what isn't 💯 is the available guidance for common geo workflows in SQL, so I've written my own!

For much of the last 20+ years that I've worked with Victorian municipalities, I've spent trying to help them get their critical property information into Vicmap.

I invite every GIS professional working for a Victorian council to read about our plan and provide us with feedback!

@opencholmes @opengeospatial @pwramsey Great write up! Regarding limitations of GeoPackage, could there be a way of streaming it using this approach: https://t.co/T6XkzURdtd

Check out this demo: I run the SQL query "select country_code, long_name from wdi_country order by rowid desc limit 100" and it fetches just 54.2KB of new data (across 49 small HTTP requests) to return 100 results - from a statically hosted database file that's 668.8MB!

Just celebrating our successful series K (special) round - we’re very excited about what’s about to rock the geospatial industry in 2022. Be ready @esriaustralia @SpatialVisionAU @Geoplexing @gruntify @PoziApp

I use mostly free software, but today I was happy to pay for @Typora which has just come out of beta. It's a Markdown editor that makes writing enjoyable. Almost all writing I do that's not an email starts off as note in Typora.

We've leveraged the amazing #GeoStyler project to enable clients to style their layers using QGIS and display them in Pozi. It sure beats maintaining our own custom styling workflow!

[Simon O'Keefe - simonokeefe.bsky.social @simokeefe]

@SimonGIS Yep, all good now!

[Simon O'Keefe - simonokeefe.bsky.social @simokeefe]

The Victorian state government COVID test site map, and a whole range of other online maps, are currently missing their basemap due to a problem this morning with the Vicmap basemap service. We've switched our Victorian clients over to OpenStreetMap until it comes back up again.

I've been in awe of @QGIS since I learned about it at FOSS4G in 2007. I'm so happy that my company has the opportunity to contribute back!

[Simon O'Keefe - simonokeefe.bsky.social @simokeefe]

@mrdougal I still remember the book you lent me that said that IE4 was a step in the right direction. I can't imagine what kind of mess the previous ones must have been!

[Simon O'Keefe - simonokeefe.bsky.social @simokeefe]

I'm so happy to be getting rid of support for IE!

Our new development cycle:

1. develop and deploy Pozi update

@stevage1 @maptastik Great to see it's still around! (It looks like DuckDuckGo really let me when searched for it.)

@Xtrackka @Data_Vic @VicGovAu @DETVic Here was my attempt at an alternative solution a few years ago, creating zones by grouping together census blocks by which school has the shortest travel distance.
