May meeting: Zarr 201, VoterMap, and BikeButler

[Nat Henry]

Hi everyone,

Our CUGOS May meeting is going to be a real barn-burner! We've got three great speakers:

🌲 Keenan Ganz will talk about converting radar imagery to the cloud-optimized Zarr format. This will be a 201-level follow-up to last month’s talk about cloud-native geospatial, with more details on chunking, I/O rates, and of course, dead trees.

🗳️ Dusty Pilkington will present VoterMap, an all-in-one map interface for accessing voter information.

🚲 Jared Hwang will present BikeButler (paper here), a tool for generating personalized, context-sensitive bike routes. We were exploring this map at our coworking hours last week, so I'm thrilled to learn more about it!

See you this Wednesday, 6 PM at Bloedel hall!
