Hangouts with James Fee:: Making Developers out of GIS Analysts
Dave Bouwman joined me to talk about GIS developers or developers who know GIS or some combination of that. We hit on the idea of hiring GIS Analysts to become programmers and how Dave approaches that task. We talked about APIs and ended with a weird discussion about Pinterest and Samsung refrigerators. The IRC chat is archived here.

OGCJSON aims to get your axis in order
So this happened:

Make sure you click on that link to read something quite interesting. Howard Butler’s response is well thought out that I’ll just let him frame the situation. I myself am curious if there is really any need to fork GeoJSON into “OGCJSON” to solve something I’m not sure really is any issue. As others have said on Twitter, GML was designed to handle just these issues. I don’t want to get down the rabbit hole of being critical of OGC, but what’s the point of creating these standards (KML, GML, etc) and then not use them?
Why does this come to mind every time I heard the OGC thinking about creating a new “standard”?
