Welcome back, #IronQuesters!
#IronQuest recently teamed up with the Data + Maps TUG co-leaders, Tore Levinsen, Dennis Kao, Tedy Iskandar and George Koursaros to co-host the Maps II-themed round.
For this round, we were expecting a broad range of viz topics and the entries did not disappoint! We received 19 submissions and welcomed 11 first-time participants to the project!
The Data + Maps TUG will host their first-ever event on August 28th, 2024. Sign up to join them virtually here.
They will be highlighting some of the entries from this round during the event so we look forward to seeing that!
Feedback
The co-hosts and I provided feedback to all entrants who requested it during our recent conversation which is now available on YouTube. We had a lot of fun going through the entries and exploring the variety of topics covered.
