. 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.
Day 16 of our DRAdvent Calendar!
Today, we’re featuring DRA Trainer, @likeajumprope 's comprehensive slides from her 3-hour online workshop on Data Version Control, Computational Reproducibility, Good Coding Practices, and Open Platforms! 
Enhance your skills and ensure your research is robust and reproducible.

THIS is how the internet should look:
https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneous/
Groups of people just coming up with new ideas, new designs, new innovations.
Not Google vs Apple vs Facebook and no one else.
This is pretty amazing. This list has grown tremendously since I started checking out the #Fediverse in I think like 2017. This just blows me away and makes me excited again for the internet.

"#Buildings are at the heart of our fight against #climatechange. They account for approximately 34% of global energy use and 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions. [We need] to innovate & leverage tech to make buildings smarter & more efficient.
#Openplatforms such as #BuildingX represents a leap forward…enabling more informed decision-making and optimization of resources."
@codemonkeymike That looks terrible, I’m sorry that you have to deal with this nonsense. It confirms the stance I’ve developed in recent years: When your business depends on faceless corporations, begging them to not hurt it is the wrong move. Use #OpenPlatforms and small business partners instead.
This piece by @greg had good points on open platforms and federating. I have my doubts about Threads becoming the "blue bubble" of anything though - there engineering team has the chops but their leadership and management don't have the fortitude for a long-term strategy like that. They'll cut off their own hands to make a one-day gain.
