1. Where: Next. A look into the future of GIS Richard Cantwell Senior GIS Consultant GAMMA richard.cantwell@gamma.ie @ManAboutCouch
2. The impact of change is often unforseen jdesbonnet.blogspot.ie/2011/06/day-gps-selective-availability-sa-was.html
3. From GPS tracks..
4. ..To Maps
5. Automatically? labs.strava.com/slide/
6. www.gartner.com Emerging Technologies ‘Hype Cycle’ gartner.com
7. @philgyford

9. Hardware, Software, Data & People https://flic.kr/p/b7stL4
10. Hardware: Becoming a Commodity https://flic.kr/p/89BohQ
11. Range of Cloud Providers Inspired by gigaom.com/2013/05/17/aws-is-the-mcdonalds-of-the-cloud-whos-the-burger-king/
12. IaaS PaaS SaaS Transitioning to Services
13. AWS Global Infrastructure
14. Availability Zone Availability Zone SERVER INSTANCE SERVER INSTANCE http / ssl AWS Cloud SERVER INSTANCE SERVER INSTANCE Autoscaling Group Autoscaling Group Cloudwatch Elastic Load Balancer Users Internet A simple AWS example
15. Internet NAT Server Amazon RDS SQL Server VPN ELB ELB Mapping ASG Spectrum ASG DynamoDB Amazon S3 ELB Amazon SQS Batch Spot ASG Low/Hi ASG Complex Configuration. Hybrid Approaches Amazon S3 DynamoDB ELB ELB ELB Reverse Proxy Routing ASG App ASG Spatial ASG Oracle 10g Postgres MDM Spatial Geocode
16. • Design to take advantage of Cloud Efficiencies • Stop Hugging your Servers • Failure shouldn’t be a Drama • Use Multiple Availability Zones • Pay for what you Provision (not what you use) Lessons from the last 5 years
17. Enterprise GIS in a few minutes.. www.spatiallyadjusted.com/2013/12/23/using-postgis-on-amazon-rds-with-opengeo-suite/
18. Location: Ubiquitous for $1.50
19. Sensor Web becoming a reality? CityWatch.ie
20. Software: In Transition
21. The future of desktop GIS? @billdollins
22. Vendors iterating Desktop
23. Vendors embedding GIS into platforms
24. New technologies don’t solve deeper issues @nheudecker
25. Best of Breed Solutions
26. Browsers: Becoming more capable
27. ..mostly.
28. Data Creation inside the Browser geojson.io
29. Complex Spatial Operations jasondavies.com
30. JavaScript & Python emerging as key D3js.org
31. New Techniques earth.nullschool.net
32. Code in the Open github.com/cambecc/earth
33. GitHub: Distributed versioning and collaboration
34. GitHub: GeoData rendering & sharing @BenBalter
35. Eg: Reverse engineered FGDB github.com/rouault/dump_gdbtable
36. Used as input to a .gdb → GeoJSON script github.com/calvinmetcalf/fileGDB.js
37. ‘Drag and Drop’ site that renders GeoJSON calvinmetcalf.github.io/fileGDBjs
38. GitHub as a learning resource github.com/lyzidiamond/learn-geojson
39. Smart Tools: Dumb Formats flic.kr/p/4YMxp7
40. Data: From scarcity to abundance
41. ~500GB of raw .xml when uncompressed github.com/mapbox/tm2
42. Vector Tiles: 'The Next Big Thing'? github.com/mapbox/tm2
43. Vector Tiles: Client Side opensciencemap.org
44. Cartography: A new Golden Age?
45. Velocity, Variety, Volume & Veracity https:/flic.kr/p/5C9pZF
46. No dataset is perfect
47. Mapping isn't as easy as some thought
48. Domain Knowledge still key @Thierry_G
49. @GapingVoid / @FlowchainSensei Geography: Distilling Wisdom from Information Geography: Distilling Wisdom from Information
50. (Some) Data becoming a commodity Vs
51. OSM as the OpenGeoData ‘Poster Child’ @PetersonGIS
52. https://flic.kr/p/N9J81F Spatial Data moving to the Main Datastore
53. Opportunities: Postcodes
54. Challenges: Move up the Value Chain flic.kr/p/4wUhRb
55. geogit.org Challenges: Version Control for Spatial Data
56. Challenges: Transient Data
57. https:/flic.kr/p/68NZhL People: Roles, Skills and Diversity
58. New Roles: The Spatial Data Librarian?
59. New Skills: Coding becoming essential alex-singleton.com
60. New users: Diversity flic.kr/p/ha2Z9b
61. New bad maps @NBCNews
62. “Everything flows, nothing stands still” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraclitus
