As someone who has worked in the geospatial industry, yeah, width of roads is useful eventually. But probably only for land development or simply understanding what a road is.

US based, companies between 50 people all the way up to thousands.
HR generally was all about buzz words on the resume because they generally didn’t know what half the stuff meant. The engineers typically wanted a team player, someone who could grind, someone who could just get features / tickets done and multitude of contributions or projects on GitHub always screamed “bounces around between multiple things and never focuses on just one thing and needs to feel constant movement” - which could mean a flight risk.

In some 20ish years of being in the software engineering field across healthcare, legal, finance, real estate or otherwise and startups all the way up to fortune 250s and across 30+ jobs, contracts, etc - not once has anybody given a shit about github links or contributions to a repo. Heck, at some places we’ve rejected candidates for focusing too much on that because it comes off as tryhard and high-maintenance.

Any reputable orgs I can donate to for assisting the cause? I just don’t feel I have the means otherwise to make a dent in the buying and preservation.

What if you just use it as a pass through by plugging it into their router and then wrap theirs in foil?
