My Workshop Experience

Pista ng Mapa and State of the Map is not new to me because I attended some of their events before. In my previous conference experiences, I mostly share what we are doing in our institute (UPRI) and how open-source works. Now, what’s new to me is to do a technical workshop in this conference. I able to share what tools I mostly used for the development and discuss some information about geospatial development through python.

Our goal in this workshop is to encourage the participants to make themselves be involved in a open-source community and to tell them the importance of open data. In the workshop, I also did some hands-on activities using python. Most of the participants, don’t have experiences in programming but still able to do the activities. I hope that even after the workshop they will still continue to explore python and the tools I shared for geospatial analysis.

Socials

Met some of my old colleagues in the conference. And I’m so happy to see them grow and glow in the field they dream of. It’s also good to meet new people in the conference which has a same advocacies as yours. This conference connects us to share ideas and to learn from each other.

Legazpi, Albay, Philippines

It’s my second time here but still amazed to the province’s majestic beauty.

Me and my colleagues went to Cagsawa and tried ATV.

We also tried the chili ice cream because Legazpi was known for it. We mostly tried all the recommendations in the booklet given to us in the conference and everything is worth to try.

I am honored to be part of the conference (PNM x SOTM 2022). To all the organizing committee, congratulations and thank you for making this conference unforgettable experience to us. All of you are so passionate and well-organized. Again, thank you so much for letting us experience a smooth conference. Mabuhay kayo! #PNM2022 #SOTM2022
