GIS with pySpark : A not-so-easy journey

Why would you do that ?

Today, many datas are geolocalised (meaning that they have a position in space). They're named GIS datas.

It's not rare that we need to do operations on those, such as aggregations, and there are many optimisations existing to do that.

Creating custom OBF files for OsmAnd

Setup

1. Make sure the latest version of java is installed.
2. Download OsmAndMapCreator from here: http://download.osmand.net/latest-night-build/OsmAndMapCreator-main.zip
3. Download a PBF file for your area of interest from Geofabrik (http://download.geofabrik.de/) or other source (e.g. activation wiki)
4. Create an OBF folder on your desktop
5. Unzip your OsmAndMapCreator folder to whatever location you want.

This is my default career advice for people starting out in geo/GIS, especially remote sensing, adapted from a response to a letter in 2013.

I'm currently about to start a Geography degree at the University of [Redacted] at [Redacted] with a focus in GIS, and I've been finding that I have an interest in working with imagery. Obviously I should take Remote Sensing and other similar classes, but I'm the type of person who likes to self learn as well. So my question is this: What recommendations would you give to a student who is interested in working with imagery? Are there any self study paths that you could recommend?

I learned on my own and on the job, and there are a lot of important topics in GIS that I don’t know anything about, so I can’t give comprehensive advice. I haven’t arrived anywhere; I’m just ten minutes ahead in the convoy we’re both in. Take these recommendations critically.

Find interesting people. You’ll learn a lot more from a great professor (or mentor, or friend, or conference) o

Mabuhay!

Welcome to the Open Source for Geography developers training.

This week we will learn about the basic building blocks for web based gis systems and desktop analysis tools. We will cover topics such as Git/Github, Postgis, GeoServer, Tilemill, GeoNode, QGIS and Inasafe. During the training, there will be tutorials on each of the tools and will work together on a prototype for a web based flood impact analysis tool.

This gist will be both our agenda and minutes document. It contains links to the training materials as well as the description of each activity.
