2023-08-09: Smart Maps Meetup Atlantic (Quarterly)

SMG introduced its principles (identity, vision, mission), Smart Maps Assistant (LLM), and Smart Maps Bazaar (IPFS). Use cases to explore:

• Language analysis with Large Language Models (LLMs)
  • Multilingual assistant, hate speech analysis.
• Digital Twin and Basemaps with Interplanetary Filesystem (IPFS)
  • Gather data limitlessly, carry them anywhere.
  • 3D city models in CityGML, drone data, etc.

Awaiting for use cases and sample data (after internal clearance)

Community building

2023-08-16: Face-to-face meeting in Tokyo

2023-08-18: Smart Maps Meetup Pacific

A guest presentation about Virtual Shizuoka, one of the best digital twin / experiment field project by Shizuoka prefectural government.

Community Development: recent progress

• SMG as a people hub - expanding the group by improved onboarding process and materials.
• Distributed web for QGIS - feeding FlatGeobuf from IPFS.
• Digital Twin - collaboration with existing projects to provide experiment fields for FOSS4G.
• Better and more stable workshop experience - Use Raspberry Pi remotely.

Thank you
