Smarter, workspace-aware code completions for C++ in VS Code

From the website: "The internationally acclaimed 'Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial' conference is our annual global conference held in a different city each year since 2004. It regularly attracts over 1,000 practitioners and advocates for Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial."

I'm curious how much discussion there'll be about AI-controlled robotics tapping into geospatial data - especially given the massive investment surge we're seeing right now. If the convergence plays out the way some companies are betting big on, we might be looking at a genuine explosion of robotic agents wandering around physical space. Think less "Terminator" and more "really smart delivery drones that actually know where your porch is."

The timing is particularly interesting because several trends are converging: LLMs are getting better at spatial reasoning, edge computing is making real time processing feasible for mobile robots, and crucially, open geospatial standards (the bread and butter of FOSS4G) are becoming essential infrastructure for this robot-everywhere future.

LLMs are getting better at spatial but still are quite bad at geospatial

There's a ton of image recognition AI being used in the geo space, for segmentation and feature identification. It's just not LLMs.

oh wow, all streams are starting at once on that page

Thats how I like to watch my content too - 5 streams at the same time. The audio overlaps nicely but I wish they tiled them better so I could see all 5 at once as well as hear them.

bro lifted multi-tasking to a whole new level of meaning

Any idea when and where the recordings of the streams will be available?

em-bee•5h ago

they are streaming through vimeo, so i expect the recordings will be available the moment the streams end on the same URL, unless they take them down to split them up.

Been to foss4g (NL/Europe/Global) a few times. If you work in a field that even touches a bit on geospatial, you'll find interesting talks. Even if you are a web dev and you think "no", getting to know a few things about leaflet or other geo tools for web never hurts.
