OS Geo Alberta Chapter Meetup ONLINE ONLY

5.45pm: ONLINE LOBBY
6.00pm: Introductions
6.15pm: Any updates or proposals on projects

We have one brief project introduction and request for help planned:

Ashok Krishnamurthy, Associate Professor, Mount Royal University

Project:

Application of mathematical models to track COVID-19 using Open Source tools such as Panoply, R and data such as SEDAC Gridded World Population.

Needs:

Advice on tools and approaches for manipulating spatialized population count data for epidemic state variable layers ( ex: Susceptible, Infectious, Recovered, Dead, etc..).

Data Source: https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/collection/gpw-v4

It would be great to also have a discussion around one or more of the OS Geo projects to find ways we can support the projects and make them as welcoming, and relevant, as possible to potential contributors here in Alberta.

I would suggest QGIS - https://qgis.org/en/site/ - but would welcome other suggestions.

This event is open to all. Feel free to bring your topics, projects, or presentations.

Some suggestions from the chapter for presentations include:

• Show us your side hustle
• Bring us your problems ( stuff you're working on and issues )
• teach something new ( OS Geo projects or other ).

Please check out the Alberta Chapter WIKI page - https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Alberta_Chapter - to join the mailing list and contribute to the conversation.
