The MapScaping Podcast - GIS, Geospatial, Remote Sensing, earth observation and digital geography

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is an international consortium of more than 500 businesses, government agencies, research organizations, and universities ... but why should you care?    Maybe because this community is defining the future of geospatial infrastructure across all verticals!   Maybe because they are determining a set of "the best practices" when it comes to solving big problems like climate change.   Or ... if you have a business ... maybe because joining the OGC membership might just be the greatest marketing hack in the geospatial industry ;)    Here is a list of current members https://www.ogc.org/ogc/members    Recommended Episodes    Open Geospatial Standards – shared standards to solve shared problems https://mapscaping.com/podcast/open-geospatial-standards-shared-standards-to-solve-shared-problems/   Cloud Native Geospatial https://mapscaping.com/podcast/cloud-native-geospatial/      

This podcast explores the challenges of monetizing an open-source geospatial project, using the example of WhiteBox Tools. The hosts discuss building a business around the project, including their partnership and monetization strategies. They also highlight the importance of effectively communicating the product and the role of consultancy work. They share insights on implementing a 'pay what you can' model, the challenges of building a business versus writing code, and the responsibility of maintaining open-source projects.

Learn about White Box Tools, a backend developed by John Lindsay that can be integrated into various geospatial applications. The professor discusses their background in GIS and geospatial science. Explore the features and applications of WhiteBox Tools, including LIDAR analysis. Discover the process of deciding which tools to build for precision agriculture. The potential of running Whitebox tools in various environments is explored. Discuss the development of WhiteBox Tools and its applications in various domains.
