had a message from an investigative journo, based near me, who reached out wanting to talk because i was on the speaker list at #FOSS4G 2007 in Victoria, and there is a murder mystery which has a link to the conference. remember @pwramsey circulating this, last year:

interpol.int/en/What-you-can-d

think they're planning a true-crime-type podcast. can't say the image triggered specific memories, there was an odd shiver, but it's a shivery story, this unidentified woman's set of very specific artifacts

Seriously - free #strategic advice for every government: Do not build infrastructure on systems over which you have no control.

"but we have a contract"

Cool cool are you able to change business decisions within the contracted party? Probably no. You have a risk you simply cannot control or mitigate.

This is why #FOSS should be at the heart of all national digital infrastructures.

TIL... 🙄. nationalmap.gov.au is/was an open source TerriaJS instance delivering all kinds of data via open standards in a single space.

The digital atlas of Australia is based on proprietary ESRI services. Colour me disappointed, not surprised

The strategic question being: why develop a new digital atlas if the old one was not used? 🤔

Personally I would have chosen to keep developing an open platform, especially in current geopolitical light.
