Hi everyone!

We now have a date for this - *Wednesday March 16th*, i.e. two weeks from
today. We've got the room booked from 6:30 to 8:30. There should be a
meetup.com event, but I see it hasn't been created yet. Anyway, you can see
our shiny new homepage at https://totes-edinburgh.github.io/, and suggest a
talk at
https://github.com/TOTES-Edinburgh/TOTES-Edinburgh.github.io/issues/new?assignees=&labels=Talk%3ASuggestion&template=offer-a-talk.md&title=.
We're planning to be pretty flexible about the length of talks, so don't
worry if you have an idea you can't fit into five minutes. Tony, if the
date works for you could you submit your tree-planting suggestion? Or I
could do it if you send me a slightly longer abstract.

Cheers,
Miles

I'm afraid we have failed to set up streaming, but we're going to try to
record the talks and upload them as soon as possible.

Sorry about that!

Hi All,

The URL from the talk last night -
https://datamap.gov.wales/maps/woodland-opportunity-map-2021/; this links
to the map abstract and you can get to all the other links from there.

The map is running using a variety of open GIS systems

   - geoserver - serving up OGC web feature services / styling the data
   - postgres - database
   - geonode - lots of the interface functionality
   - mapstore2 - shiny interface on top; as well as hooks so that
   everything is also available in Welsh, including column names for
   identifying elements on the map

If you want to learn more about trees than you ever imagined I can
recommend the UK forestry standard, this is a voluntary code but really
encouraging -
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-uk-forestry-standard

Cheers,
Anthony
