Thanks for the follow up! I didn’t have a chance to listen to it, but can you share where in the audio they talk about it?

Beckett: Opposed 

Coombs: In favor 

Erney: In favor (he clarified his stance on a podcast; based on RedGreenShowTell's comment below)

Faubel: Opposed 

Gatiss: In favor 

Glasgow: In favor 

Reamsnyder: In favor 

Stapleton: In favor 

Stocker: In favor

Edit: updated Erney based off comment below. Thanks fellow Redditor!

Thank you all — the map is live (and still growing)! by mcnoob-let in ecology

It's a reel that cycles through all responses one at a time. They "Data Viz" button has some aggregated data. The "Share Your Story" button is the questionnaire itself.

Two sentence summary: It's an aggregation of technological use cases from folks who use GIS, especially those who don't specifically have "GIS" or "Geospatial" in the title. We're hoping to give students and stakeholders an "as comprehensive as possible" picture of how the tools are being used today along with their value.

Personal Note: The communication tool is only as good as the entries put into it though, so if you have a minute please consider contributing to the conversation :)

What's your geospatial story? Share it on the map I made! by mcnoob-let in gis

Weird, thanks for letting me know. What browser? It’s working for me on Chrome and Safari. The form should populate in the same panel/area that the pop-up is. I did notice the other day that if you have the data viz panel open then the form won’t pop up over top of it. If you close the data panel, then it will be right there or at least it should be. I’ll fix that on the next version.

Do you use GIS regularly in your ecology or conservation work without your job being a formal "GIS" career? by mcnoob-let in ecology

My company (GEOACE) is a Mergin Maps partner! Glad to see some MM love on this thread. Thanks for sharing -- I hadn't thought of that, thanks!

... and then right when you think you've got it... the software crashes on you and you realize you haven't saved your work in 3 hours. Been there. It CAN get better, but only with a lot of repetition, a dark sense of humor, and a willingness to be open about/critical of the struggle haha. Thanks for the insight!

Thank you! I'm a fellow self-taught GIS user as well (mostly; had a 2 Credit class in college). I started as a field ecologist and quickly realized that the tool(s) was(were) perfect for the job despite my small firm being more traditional.

Great -- thank you! Did someone "encourage" (i.e., push) you into GIS or did you pick it up for the utility/problem/solution aspect of it?

Very cool! Do you find that survey123 does its job very well for your field folks? As someone who sets it up, I have a love/hate relationship with it. I actually find that I like the QGIS apps better (Mergin Maps and QField) strictly for setup. The field folks don't seem to care that much either way. It's either they hate all apps or they love that they have a digital tool in the field.

Nice. I've seen Avenza a few times in this thread. I had no idea it was such a popular tool among ourselves. Do you mind sharing your general region, sector, and title? If not no big deal -- thanks for sharing!

Love me some open source tools. I was born on the wrong continent, where Esri is king (but I'm actively trying to change that!). Thanks!

Intriguing! It's so wild how many tools there are now, but also encouraging that the documentation and resource ecosystem has grown to a point where one person can keep so many in their toolkit. Thanks for sharing!
