Week 772 - Seeing the Trees

[Jackie Pease]

Each week we'll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you're involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here! The easiest way is to post on Mastodon - if we follow you there, just add #weeknotes to any post you want included. If you’re not on Mastodon but would like to be, chat to one of the organisers and we’ll help you get started. And of course, you can always just send us an email!

Things of Note

• michael:Some #GIS #weeknotes about some more fun sperlunking into seeing what we can do with open data to make more refined maps. But mostly I think you should read it to see what even a newbie discover with lidar data, it's fascinating to explore national lidar survey data!https://digitalflapjack.com/weeknotes/seeing-the-trees-from-the-forest/

• Adrian McEwen:Now there's a sight I haven't seen in a while.I'm debugging one of the @DoESLiverpool doorbots, so have plugged it into a screen; something that hasn't happened since we moved locations#weeknotes
  

  

• michael:Work #weeknotes - more playing around visualising lidar data, and trying to work out if I can do anything useful with it.https://digitalflapjack.com/weeknotes/more-lidar-experiments/
  

  

• Jackie Pease:Screwfix sell these useful measuring tools for £2.69! So I bought one for @DoESLiverpool - currently in the machine room with the steel rules (until someone finds a better place?).
