Mike Rosen — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 17:12:33 +0000

Fellow LizardTech developer Kirk and I just got back from the third annual OSGeo Code Sprint; this time in Montreal, Canada. Daniel Morissette did a great job of organizing this event and has already posted an excellent review of the sprint (here) including pictures (here), so I’ll simply add that that it was great fun [...]

LiDAR Compression at ILMF

Mike Rosen — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:26:51 +0000

Several of us just returned from the ILMF 2010 conference in Denver, Colorado. What was near and dear to my heart there was the interest in LiDAR compression. Several presentations focused on this (linked items below are PDF documents): “Storing and Managing LiDAR Data” by Jon Skiffington (LizardTech) “Compressing LiDAR Waveform Data” by Dr. Charles [...]

Reminiscences of Spring Break at the ESRI Dev Summit

Glen Thompson and I were fortunate to attend the ESRI Developer’s Summit in Palm Springs last month. In addition to being a great excuse to get out of the rain here in Seattle, the Dev Summit provides a great opportunity to catch up with our friends from Redlands and see what’s new with ArcGIS. Those [...]

Making public imagery truly public

Mike Rosen — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 16:07:45 +0000

Lizard watchers will have noticed the recent LizardTech announcement regarding the Express Server sale to North Carolina. I spent an afternoon pointing Google Earth over there and reflected about the need for better public access for public GIS aerial imagery. Like most people (certainly most people who read LizardTech’s blog) I’m really excited by the [...]

Thoughts on the ESRI Developer Summit and OGC in ArcGIS Server

Mike Rosen — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:29:12 +0000

Last week, some of us went south to Palm Springs to escape the rain and enjoy the company of the crew from Redlands at the ESRI Developer Summit. Much of the conference has been blogged about elsewhere, but I did want to share my observations of the talk on OGC capabilities in ArcGIS Server 9.3. [...]

Geocaching in Hawaii

Mike Rosen — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 01:01:03 +0000

I recently got back from a short vacation with friends and family in Hawaii. Although I’ve been part of the LizardTech Engineering team for many years, I’m relatively new to the geospatial industry, so you’ll forgive me if wax a little misty here. One of the things that made this trip particularly memorable for me [...]
