[EN] From Volcanos to Open Source - John Stevenson
My guest is John Stevenson from the British Geological Survey (BGS) and there is a lot to cover in this episode: John's switch from science to engineering; how to move from proprietary to open source software - and the hot stuff: volcanos. And what John did in volcanology. Here are a few links:https://www.bgs.ac.uk/people/stevenson-john/ John's profile at the BGS https://volcanologistsoutsideacademia.wordpress.com/2018/08/29/spotlight-john-a-stevenson-ph-d/https://all-geo.org/volcan01010/every-post-ever/ John's blog postshttps://fosstodon.org/@volcan01010 John's profile on Mastodonhttps://github.com/volcan01010/ GitHub for Johnhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_Kübler-Ross a reference for the 5 stages of griefVolcanoshttps://icelandicvolcanos.is Iceland has a lot of volcanoshttps://rischi.protezionecivile.gov.it/en/volcanic/volcanoes-italy/ Volcanos in Italyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_eruptions_of_Eyjafjallajökull the big eruption from 2010http://www.pompeii.org.uk/s.php/tour-the-two-letters-written-by-pliny-the-elder-about-the-eruption-of-vesuvius-in-79-a-d-history-of-pompeii-en-238-s.htm the letters by Pliny the Younger describing the eruption of Vesuvius in 79ADTools mentionedhttps://www.sonatype.com https://qgis.orghttps://www.geopackage.orghttps://merginmaps.comhttps://www.redhat.com/enhttps://www.debian.orghttps://www.centos.orghttps://thehackernews.com/2024/04/malicious-code-in-Get in touchThank you for listening!

[EN] From Research to Production? With Duncan McGregor
How can you transition from photo-type or exploratory research software to production code? Can you? I've been discussing this with my guest Duncan McGregor. In the first part of our discussion we touch on how you can effectively analyse large data sets that are distributed over different locations with tools like Dask.
