This was an interesting article that just came out. The use of crowd-sourcing and Mechanical Turk are interesting twists on creating data: http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-c1-swimming-pools-20131202-dto,0,198951.htmlstory#axzz2mMnPoGSq
Here is a link to their methodology: http://jk-lee.com/post/53183522088/the-big-atlas-of-la-pools-posters
Thanks again to the County departments that put on the event as well – especially our Internal Services Department (ISD). Without our volunteers, staff, map providers, students, universities, speakers and presenters – without all of you, it would not have been possible.
Hello everyone, In an effort to improve our event, we are trying to find out what you thought about our event. Thank your for helping make GIS Day better each year! I’ve invited you to fill out the form LA County GIS Day Survey. To fill it out, visit: http://egis3.lacounty.gov/eGIS/gisday/gis-day-survey/ This should take no more than 1-2 minutes! If you are unable to connect to this Google Form, you can access it directly here: Thank you everyone who made it out to GIS Day 2013 – it was a great success! The weather held off just long enough to get a great event in, ending with a lot of cake cutting (thanks to Pictometry for bringing the cake, and thanks to Christine for helping me cut it!!) We must have handed out a hundred slices or more.
We are putting together a slide show for this year’s event (see pictures of previous GIS Days) – so if you have some pictures that you want to send, go ahead and email them to me at mgreninger@cio.lacounty.gov! We will also be following up with a survey to see what went well, what could be improved, and any other ideas to make GIS Day better next year!
I’ll be posting some pictures about our event today – hope you can make it!
Carrie Wiley from DPW has updated our annual “Where in the County” game that will test your knowledge of places in LA. If you get 6 right, you’ll be entered to win T-shirts, gift cards from our sponsors, and other great stuff! We gave out over twenty $25 gift cards from places like Starbucks, iTunes, Chilis, Home Depot and more!!! Check out the “Where in the County” game from 2011. I thought it might be fun to show some of the pictures that we had from earlier GIS Day events at the Hall of Administration. I’m getting all choked up
I look forward to kicking the day off with a pair of keynotes – one from William Fujioka (the County CEO) and the other from Rick Cole (Deputy Mayor for Innovation from the City of LA). Don’t worry about drizzle – we have a covered tent, and can move the Map Gallery indoors. Final documents are done.GIS Day 2013 – Complete set of documents
Don’t forget about the GIS Day mixer hosted by GeoSpatial LA right after the event.
Now is your chance – during GIS Day, the Assessor will be offering tours of its mapping division, so you can see first hand how property boundaries are managed. Stop by Booth 26 (the Assessor’s booth) to sign up! To get a taste of the information the Assessor manages, check out their property mapping site.
As part of GIS Day, a number of training sessions will be offered which will provide an opportunity to improve your GIS skills, and learn more about GIS tools and data offered by the County of Los Angeles. We have 20 seats in our training room, so seats will be assigned on a first come first served basis. We will reserve seats for people who have signed up, while others, while encouraged to attend, will not have guaranteed seating. To sign up for these workshops, Click here!
