A story about live tracking a community-run wilderness dog sled race, and how we used it to learn open source GIS.
Over 15 years of running a live web tracker for a remote wilderness Yukon dog sled race, our tech stack has evolved, and we've had to learn new skills along the way. I'll talk about the tech we've used, and how we used this passion project to climb the learning curve.
