Having a look on the new map.degrowth.net

Hi @jean and @Anne_Arndt_Jacobi,

I cannot make our call tomorrow about the mapping, and want to suggest to find a new date within the next week. Is this feasible for you?

Thanks,

Jon

After approaching @wellemut about the “map of tomorrow” I have had conversations with him about how we could move forward using their platform. This will need additional software development.

Requirements for the "Karte von morgen" for the Global Degrowth Day

Hi we heard that “Karte von morgen” will be used for degrowth realities soon. For the next year (2021) we wonder if we could use the same technology for the GDD. Therefore we want to list some “requirements” for this use case: It would be good, if you are not forced to specify a city/region at the beginning (i.e. a holistic view on the world should be possible ). Only GDD events should be visible, i.e. no initiatives or enterprises should show up. We need a simple but “normal” …

Additionally someone approached us, sharing their experience with generating an embeddable map for locations in Discourse, which we might adapt.

Discourse locations plugin

Hi! I found your discourse agora from a github issue of the locations plugin. This is awesome, I like degrowth idea since many years! I’m working for sustainable development and renewable energy, but I’m also webdev about more than ten years… I worked for https://negawatt.org/en, you should take a look about their scenario. This is how to get rid of carbon energy with concepts of sobriety, efficiency and renewable…

Similarily to the manchester conference developments, I am having free resources to work on those next week, end of the month.

After reviewing a conversation on talk.incommon.cc about synchronising different geodatabases, I have found a link to show a list of mapping projects on gogocarto.fr/project/. There was also a button to create a new project.

After additional cleaning our source data in https://lab.allmende.io/degrowth/map/, we should be able to use it with a group of people to maintain a Degrowth dataset and map together.

The only remaining question would be how to help them translate their user interface into other languages.

The have a nice admin interface available at https://degrowth.gogocarto.fr/admin/ that allows to import data, manage categories, and review different entries against various criteria.

Would any of you like to receive an email invitation for an account to test it?
