Hi,

For the past year, I have been involved with a FD/EMS GIS User Group formulated
through ESRI.  Approximately 4 months ago, it was decided to have a 2 day
seminar regarding GIS in FD/EMS.  I have been one of the members organizing this
seminar.  The first day of the seminar is going to be in Burlington County, NJ
hosted by Chief Greg Collier (Mount Laurel Fire Department) and the second day
is going to be at the FDNY Headquarters.

Currently we have planned presentations by:

Research and Policy (ISERP), an interdisciplinary social science research
institute at Columbia University, and will work using geo-spatial analysis on
research projects associated with the Built Environment and Health research
group, a collaboration with faculty in the Mailman School of Public Health. This
position requires a strong comprehension of the concepts, practices, and
procedures of advanced spatial analysis in an ArcGIS environment.
Responsibilities will include the acquisition, management, and documentation of
geo-spatial data; creation of spatial measures of neighborhood characteristics;
training and supervision of student research assistants; working with project
investigators and other GIS staff in the preparation of data analyses, research
papers and proposals for funding. In addition, job responsibilities may include
participation in other funded research projects; participation in new spatial
research projects; and collaboration with Columbia faculty and staff to enhance
GIS infrastructure and promote GIS/spatial analysis in teaching and research at
Columbia.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
Master's degree in geography, urban planning, and/or public health; two years
related work experience; strong data management and data analysis skills
including proficiency with ArcGIS and Python Scripting; conceptual familiarity
with spatial data sets and sources of GIS data; strong oral and written
communication skills; careful attention to detail and persistent pursuit of
accuracy and consistency; demonstrated experience with collaborative research;
supervisory experience.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

to academicjobs.columbia.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=52281. Screening of
applications will begin immediately and the search will remain open for no fewer
than 30 days from the date of posting.

Columbia University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.

Seems the solution to my problem was quite simple. The hyperlinks in the DOiTT
metadata were not broken... I just needed to allow my web browser to run active
content, also known as ActiveX controls. Duh on my part. Thanks to Yitzchok
Friedman from DOiTT for a timely solution to my problem and also to Michele
McInnes from City Planning for sending me the metadata via cut-n-paste. Michele
also passed along a separate link with some generalized metadata for the DOiTT
data. Much appreciated. -James

http://www.nyc.gov/html/doitt/html/eservices/eservices_gis_metadata.shtml

***ORIGINAL QUESTION***

Hello:

I'm sure many of you have noticed that DOiTT recently updated the list of GIS
datasets you can download. Included with each shapefile download is an .htm file
that is suppose to be the metadata for each dataset. However, .htm files don't
offer much in the way of metadata and seem broken... when opened you can not use
the hyper-links to access the other categories of information such as 'Spatial'
and 'Attribute' information.

I have two questions. One, does anyone have accurate metadata for these for
these layers? And two, does anyone know what the values in the FEATURE_CO and
SUB_FEATUR fields of the OPEN_SPACE shapefile represent?

I of course will also be emailing DOiTT to ask about the broken metadata files,
but thought I'd get a faster reply for group users.

Thanks,

and clipboard in the field.

GISMO Listserv Guidelines

The following topics are covered in this message:

1.  What is Virtual GISMO?
2.  What is the GISMONYC listserv?
3.  How do I subscribe to GISMONYC?
4.  How do I post a message to GISMONYC?
5.  What types of messages can I post?
6.  How are messages stored?
7.  How do I reply to posted messages?
8.  How do I change my email address?
9.  What do I do if I want access to the GISMONYC site, but
     I don't want all that email?
10. How do I unsubscribe from GISMONYC?
11. Questions?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

1.  What is Virtual GISMO?

Virtual GISMO is a subgroup of GISMO devoted to facilitating the online
communications of the group, via a web site 
(http://www.geo.hunter.cuny.edu/gismo), and a suite of online communication
tools located at Yahoo! Groups (http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/gismonyc). 
The web site includes information about GISMO meetings, functioning and
policies, subgroups, contacts and archives and acts as the main portal for the
communication tools.  The Yahoo! Groups site contains an interactive calendar,
listserv/bulletin board, polling tool, member directory, links and file
archives.  As of the September 1999 issue, the GISMO newsletter is also being
stored at the Yahoo! Groups site.  Each of these tools is linked from within the
GISMO site for easier navigation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

2.  What is the GISMO listserv?

The GISMONYC listserv is GISMO's most active communication tool, and is located
at Yahoo! Groups:  http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/gismonyc.  The listserv is
a moderated email list that allows members to send email messages to the entire
group using a single address.  Messages can be read on the web site by anyone,
regardless of whether they are a member of GISMO, but you must be a registered
member of GISMONYC to post or receive messages in your email box.  Other content
on the Yahoo! Groups site, such as the file vault and member directory, is not
viewable by the general public.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

3. How do I subscribe to GISMONYC?

To subscribe to the GISMONYC, you must be a GISMO member.  Either you have
attended at least one GISMO meeting and have filled out a member form or you
mailed a form and submitted a personal paragraph.  New members are added to the
list after each meeting as the database is updated.  If you do not receive an
email invitation to join the listserv, you may subscribe by sending a blank
message to:

gismonyc-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Once your GISMO membership is verified, you will be added to the list.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

4.  How do I post a message to the GISMONYC?

To post a message to the GISMO listserv, you can either send an email to:

gismonyc@yahoogroups.com

or, use the online form located at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gismonyc/post

While you do not need to be registered with Yahoo! to post or receive GISMONYC
messages via email, if you wish to use the online form to post a message, or to
review any other members-only areas of the site, such as Files, Polls and
Databases, you must be logged into Yahoo! Groups with a Yahoo! ID.  To create a
Yahoo! ID, visit http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_register.

Once your message is approved by the listserv administrator, it will be sent to
all members of the group and stored in a searchable Bulletin Board archive at:

http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gismonyc/messages

-----------------------------------------------------------------

  5.  What types of messages can be posted?

The list is moderated to ensure that messages are appropriate to GISMO
interests.  Feel free to post any message on GIS and mapping related topics,
including upcoming events, reviews, commentaries, etc.  Ideas are not censored;
however, personal, off-topic and overtly commercial messages will not be
approved.  The administrator will usually notify you if a message is not
approved, or to verify whether a message of a personal nature was intended to be
sent to the group.

The only exception to the no advertising rule is that Yahoo! Groups, our site
host, requires discreet advertising at the end of each emailed message.  (Not so
discreet on the site, but that is the price of a free site).

Meeting minutes and articles of interest to GISMO members are periodically
posted to the listserv.  If you have written a piece that you believe is
appropriate for archiving on GISMONYC, please forward a message to
gismonyc-owner@yahoogroups.com, copying Jack Eichenbaum at jaconet@.... 
This way, we can review the content of the essay, and proof and format it before
it is saved in the File folders and forwarded on to the group.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

6.  How are messages stored?

Messages and replies are archived by on the Yahoo! Groups site at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gismonyc/messages.  Messages can be viewed either
by date or by thread.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

7.  How do I reply to posted messages?

The listserv is moderated by the listserv administrator.  If you believe your
reply is of interest to the entire group, feel free to respond directly to the
listserv address.  Otherwise, reply just to the original sender.  Refer to your
email program's "Reply" and "Reply To" functions to determine the best way to
send your reply.

Please remember, however, that when you reply to the listserv, the reply will be
sent to over 400 people!  If the reply is intended only for a specific
individual, please delete the listserv address in the To: field and type in the
individual's address before sending.  Messages that are obviously intended for
the sender and not the entire group will be forwarded to the original poster and
marked "Ignore" by the listserv administrator.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

8.  How do I change my email address?

Please send any email address changes to the listserv owner at
gismonyc-owner@yahoogroups.com, including your name, old email address and new
email address, so that we can verify the change against the GISMO member
database.  Please note that if you are changing your email address, do not just
send a message to gismonyc-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.  Your identity as a GISMO
member may be unknown, and the list owner will have to contact you anyway for
your name and old email.

You may also update your email and other information via your Yahoo! member
profile by visiting this address:
http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_profile?.intl=us&.done=http://groups.yahoo.com\
.  Enter your password to access your profile.  Please note that the Yahoo!
database is maintained separately from the GISMO member database.  Therefore, if
you update your email address at Yahoo!, you will also need to forward the
change to gismonyc-owner@yahoogroups.com so the change can be reflected
appropriately in the database.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

9.  What do I do if I want access to the GISMONYC site, but
     I don't want all that email?

Yahoo! Groups has a function that allows you to select the type of email
delivery you prefer: every email to your box, digest mode, or no email.  To set
your preferences, go to the "Edit My Membership" section of the site at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gismonyc/join to update these settings.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

10.  How do I unsubscribe?

To unsubscribe to the listserv, please send a message to:

gismonyc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com

Please note that if you unsubscribe, you will lose access to the member
directory and other featured areas on Yahoo! Groups.

If you cancel your membership with GISMO or GISMONYC, your email will be removed
from the Yahoo! Groups list.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

11.  Questions?

Please refer any questions about the listserv or the Yahoo! Groups site to:

gismonyc-owner@yahoogroups.com

Hello all, I'm looking for work in GIS.
I've been a member of your esteemed group for quite some time, I believe it is
how I found my last job.
I have around 10 years experience using ESRI products, and a strong background
in programming and graphic design.
I haven't had much luck with the usualy job search sites (Dice, Indeed, Monster,
etc), so I thought I'd post my resume here, to see if I can get a bite.
Thank you all.

Hi, Folks-

Jack Eichenbaum recently had a note from Tom Hibbard:

"You may remember me as showing up from time to time at the GISMO meetings. I
had the pipe dream of creating a map of street parking for Manhattan and a
couple times asked you for possible friendly contacts at the DOT (not too many
when it comes to parking signs). Well, I have finished the first edition of the
map and installed it (with some nifty layer controls) on a web site:
parallelspaces.com. I hope you can take a look sometime.

Over the years I have dropped in on the GISMO meetings and always appreciated
the spirit of cooperation and volunteerism there, and some of the contacts you
have given me helped me in my very drawn out FOIL Requests, so I would be happy
to share this map and its unusual symbols at a meeting some time."

Those of us working behind the scenes to get GISMO back in gear fully intend to
invite Tom in as a speaker in the not too distant future.

In the meantime I want to share couple of links I'm sure many of you are already
well aware of (I'm in "belts & suspenders" mode here):

All best to all of you & yours for the upcoming holidays.  ~dorothy

Happy Thanksgiving Eve, Folks-

Turns out the organizer, Suelynn, is out in Los Angeles.  She & I just spoke -
GISMO will definitely meet 12/18, exact time & place TBD.

Please get in touch base with me at OEM if you want to participate in a program
on that Friday. We need RSVPs to determine best venue.

Best for tomorrow's holiday.  ~dorothy (718.422.8933)

PS - Apologies for cross posting but these folks in Austin are just too good to
be missed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDVNBDIVUZo
