¡Super contento de tener nuestro nuevo mapa de comunidades en producción! 😍 // RT?
¿Sabes cómo están distribuidas estas +300 comunidades tecnológicas en España? Hoy hemos actualizado el repo añadiendo un mapa interactivo: github.com/ComBuildersE...

Como todo lo que hacemos, los datos son open data y el código bajo Apache v2, ¿nos ayudáis a difundirlo y mejorarlo?

"How video games can power up your parenting" resonated with me. I encourage you to save it to your watch later list on YouTube 🎮😳. Do you play video games with your kids/nephews/nieces/etc? 😃

Learn from Tanner Yould (Esri software engineer) about the challenges of porting features from 2D 🗺️ to 3D 🌎 and the lessons learned along the way.

Aunque agradezco la labor que cumplió Meetup.com en su día, cada día me gusta menos...

Mi reflexión de por qué creo que aún muchas personas que lideran comunidades siguen en Meetup:
1. El espejismo de la autoridad
2. El miedo a la invisibilidad
3. El temor al aprovechamiento oportunista
¿Ahora Meetup.com guillotina a los usuarios "inactivos"? 🪓🔴👤

Si lideras una comunidad en Meetup, te invitamos a unirte a la conversación 👇

El próximo miércoles hemos propuesto un encuentro online para hablar sobre la nueva política de Meetup.com sobre los miembros inactivos. (Hilo 🧵)

I'm very excited to see how web components are evolving and transforming the JavaScript SDK coding experience while introducing performance enhancements 👇😍
Okay, folks, I'm excited about this one! 👋 The #ArcGIS Maps SDK for #JavaScript 4.34 just dropped, and the updates to the Map Components are awesome. Shadow DOM, new slots, beta popup and no more CSS imports!

Here’s a small project idea 💡 to make in-person networking more seamless! 🤝 😄 A small gadget to make networking easier, a "3D-printed QR code with NFC" that saves time when connecting online: www.youtube.com/shorts/VZCj7...

What do you think? Any ideas to improve it?
3D-printed smart tag with QR and NFC for your digital identity
This is just a simple gadget I have created to help me connect with people at conferences. I hope you like it! I made it with https://www.tinkercad.com and printed it with a Bambulab A1
