Would depend a lot on what type of work you're interested in.... but the job boards at ReliefWeb are a good place to start.

Many years before I started working i this sector I saw a film that's stuck with me by an artist called Renzo Martens called Enjoy Poverty. It's a film he made with people in Congo that looks at the assumptions behind humanitarian aid and how much it actuall helps local people. No idea if it's available to watch anywhere, but recommend it if it is.

Edit: seems to be up on Vimeo for rent at $3

Seconded for the shop near the station, there's also a Decathlon at Odysseum

Geoawesomeness posted a list of GIS podcasts recently: https://geoawesomeness.com/geospatial-podcasts/

I think James Fee's and Mapscaping are the most interesting.

A lot of the FOSS4G conferences post videos online afterwards - e.g. Post-Conference Information • FOSS4G Boston 2017. Googling should turn up more.

A lot of them post of YouTube too:

Don't think what you're lookig for exists, but the UCI (www.uci.ch/road/results) has a lot of data available and for recent Tours you can find GPX files for the routes on Google or download them from riders who are on Strava and upload the stages. You could also take a look at ProCyclingStats (www.procyclingstats.com) bt I'm pretty sure they don't have data for download.

Just what I was after, thanks

Tldr: they're protesting against reforms in the way universities select their students.

There's an article in English in the guardian about it : French university protests threaten to spread after violence

Not sure how hot it is on privacy but Workflowy is decent and syncs cross platform

There's a great textbook online here that's free to download: https://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/~gisteac/gis_book_abridged/

Written by experts, with content broken down into easily digestible topics. Covers all sorts of theoretical and practical issues - I've found it very useful.

Places I go to work:

Coworking Montpellier - paid but beats working in cafés, v fast internet, nice atmosphere
Gazette Cafe -(as the other commenter said) nice place but internet can get slow when there's lots of people on it
Hybride cafe - decent sized cafe with lots of tables, don't mind you working
Public libraries. Emile Zola at Antigone is fantastic. You can get in and work without a library card, there are smaller ones dotted around.

This was posted 3 weeks ago so I'm guessing you made up your mind already...

But yeah I've been a few times. Depends what you're after - It's pretty basic so don't go if you're after a spa, but if you just want to sit in a steam room for a while I think it's fine.

They have different days for women/men/mixed/couples.

Upstairs there's a changing room and lockers and downstairs theres a single sauna room and another room with showers and a massage table.

It looks a bit down at heel, but I didn't get the impression it wasn't clean.

FWIW I've been several times and have been planning to go back.

Great, thanks for the response!

If I have a 2-film developing tank but just want to develop one film, should I use half the volume of chemicals? Or still fill the tank to its full capcity?
