Update 2/20/2020: ArcGIS 10.8 has been released.  View the post here.

Looks like ESRI pre-released ArcGIS 10.8.  Logging into my.esri.com shows what is available for download:

arcgis108prerelease

ArcGIS 10.8 Prerelease:

The ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Engine 10.8 setup packages are designed to detect and upgrade an existing installation of the same ArcGIS product. The settings for the installation location, license manager (for concurrent use), or authorization information (for single use) are retained during the upgrade.

ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 upgrades are not supported at 10.8 prerelease. To see the new capabilities of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 prerelease, it is required to do a new installation. Upgrades from previous versions to the 10.8 prerelease are not supported. Upgrades from the prerelease version to the final released version are not supported. The final release of 10.8 will support upgrades from previous software releases as usual.

The following products are not included with ArcGIS 10.8 prerelease and will be available with the final release of ArcGIS 10.8:

  • ArcGIS Business Analyst Enterprise
  • ArcGIS LocateXT for Server
  • ArcGIS LocateXT for Desktop
  • ArcGIS Monitor
  • ArcGIS for INSPIRE
  • ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder for Amazon Web Services
  • ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder for Microsoft Azure

ArcGIS 10.8 Single Use Licenses:

If ArcGIS 10.8 will be installed on a machine that is different from where a previous ArcGIS 10.x product is currently installed, and you wish to use the existing ArcGIS 10.1–10.7.1 authorization number for ArcGIS 10.8, the earlier version of an ArcGIS 10.x product must first be deauthorized before authorizing ArcGIS 10.8.

ArcGIS 10.8 Concurrent Use Licenses:

  • The copy protection mechanism for the prerelease version of ArcGIS Desktop 10.8 and ArcGIS Engine 10.8 concurrent use requires that ArcGIS License Manager 2019.1 be installed to support these products.
  • Existing ArcGIS 10.1–10.7.1 authorization numbers will work with ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Engine 10.8.
  • Existing ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7–10.7.1 authorization numbers will not work with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8. You must obtain a 10.8 authorization number which will also work with the final release of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.

 

See What Others Can’t Campaign

Looks like ESRI is starting a new campaign called “See What Others Can’t“.  If you attended the 2019 Users Conference in July, you saw some of this already.

According to an email that went out to users, they will be extending the campaign “to include billboards and print, TV, and digital ads.”  Billboards and TV?  That should be interesting to see.  When someone asks you what you do, ask them if they saw the TV commercial or billboard!  Here is one of the commercials.

ESRI would like users to embrace and amplify the message on the campaign’s new website to share your stories and feedback with ESRI.  Check it out!

The Huntington Fellowship in the Materiality of Print Culture
This newly created fellowship in the materiality of print culture provides one month of support for research in any aspect of printing history, book production, or illustration technologies including photography. Applications are welcomed from those inside and outside the academy, but are especially encouraged from librarians, curators, conservators, and advanced practitioners of any of the allied arts of printing, printmaking, photography, graphic design, or book production. Applicants must have a focused research project that centers on some material aspect of print culture and must demonstrate how research in The Huntington’s Library collections is critical to its development.

Five years after the United States Geological Survey launched its 3D Elevation Program, it has delivered the first ever national baseline of consistent high-resolution elevation data. As the program matures and works toward its goal of covering 100 percent of the U.S. and its territories, it faces challenges and opportunities in the West.  Click below to read the article.
