## Hosting
We facilitate cloud-native geodata (**PMTiles**) hosting by:
1. **IPFS** (InterPlanetary File System) w/ new friends.
1. Standard HTTP w/ **Source Cooperative**.

[Free global 3D basemap](https://observablehq.com/d/ac71bc83fbe16bc9) implemented with our new IPFS gateway. (Not very fast, but fairly distributed.)

[Source Cooperative](https://source.coop/) is a data publishing utility that allows trusted organizations and individuals to **share data products** using standard HTTP methods.

[Source Cooperative version](https://observablehq.com/d/652ef8ca26776146) is fairly fast because Source Cooperative uses standard object storage directly..
----
### FOSS + FOIL
We want to share more free and open **hosting options** because large geodata volume is from open data. We want to let oepn data free, fast, and fun, so that we can involve more friends.
Maybe we can follow the vision of _Free and Open Source_ **Software** _for Geospatial_ (FOSS4G), by formulating the concept of _Free and Open_ **Information Library** _for Geospatial_ (FOIL4G) 🙂

## LLM progress
1. UN Smart Maps Assistant team welcomes Esri's Smart Mapping Assistant, seriously. 🙂
1. Prototyped expression-bot or [ebot](https://github.com/unopengis/ebot), an open source LLM Discord bot on Raspberry Pi 4B (running `tinyllama`, `phi`, or `gemma`)
1. Prototyping an environment where all agents (human or artificial) should **act towards one another** in a spirit of friendship.
