Why Publish?

We touch .1% of N and that’s generous. We need help reaching the other .99% of N.

Good at pushing out!!!Need Feedback Loop

Flagging System

Knowing about user changes ineach system would make for

better data.

• Grab low res sat images, ground truthing based on water marks, correlate flood gauges, munge with NED = flood plain data. #notcoal #cheap

Seems now would be a great time to delineate the real flood plain along the Mississippi and adjoining watersheds

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Do you think the GIS community is playing a significant enough role in planning Next Gen 911 (vs NENA, Providers and CAD vendors)?

Do you think NG911 will be able to survive catastrophic events (i.e. Joplin, Japan, Haiti, cyber-attacks, etc)?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

What are your thoughts on ‘cloud type’ infrastructures?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Thoughts on OSM?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Thoughts on Esri Community Basemap?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

GIS, 10 years from now, looks like...

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Who are the 'up and coming' players (companies, organizations, people) we need to start watching?

Who are we wasting our time with?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

What are your thoughts on the intersection between traditional GIS and new technologies that seem to be arising every day?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

What are your thoughts on the intersection between traditional GIS, 3D and BIM?

Building Information Model???

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Is Open Source a viable option for government agencies that need to maintain "official" or "authoritative" data.

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Why should government use social media tools?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Do you use any social media tools? Why?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

What are your thoughts on the use of Google Maps, Bing and other mapping APIs by government? Pros and cons? Pitfalls?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

As mapping/GIS becomes more ubiquitous with many products geared towards non-technical users (Google Earth), how do you see that impacting the GIS profession and professionals?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

I've looked at your slide-share re: mapping a state budget. I'm curious what the impetus was to produce such a map, if the results were what you expected, and if the final product had any impact on state or local policy.

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

What trends are you seeing with respect to expert communicators who are not GIS pros being part of consulting teams?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

As spatial data become more available to a broader variety of end users, how concerned are you about quality and appropriate use?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Is GIS a profession, or a software tool?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Have GIS user groups passed their heyday -- much like the PC user groups of the 80s?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

How do you explain to friends, family, or the uninitiated what GIS is and its impact?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Thoughts on MARXAN and MARZONE and their utility for decision support/alternative scenarios compared to other GIS software (ESRI etc.)

http://goo.gl/HKSlT

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

What advice would you give someone thinking about getting into the GIS field?

What are the 3 main skills someone needs to be successful in today's (and tomorrow's) geospatial workforce?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

I have heard a lot of "talk" about location-based marketing, but are you seeing any trends toward consulting firms or their clients allowing non-GIS experts who are experts in communication being invited into the tent to collaborate in new ways?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Who are your favorite “presenters” in the business and how important is the presentation to clients in terms of getting contracts? Best practices?

Good Presenter @pmbatty

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Do you have recommendations about how best incorporate the expanding use of smart phones' spatial technology applications into governmental practices?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

In these challenging times with shrinking budgets and competing priorities, how do you keep spatial technology relevant in the minds of key stakeholders?

@LearonDalby#NYGSS

Are we asking the right questions?
