The first ever GDAL Users Survey is now open for feedback at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… The survey is an attempt to provide structured guidance for the maintenance program to focus its efforts in the coming year. Please contribute and help us circulate it!

Happy 26th birthday to GDAL ! From the first commit on 1998-10-17 from a small rural town outside of Ottawa Canada, to almost every geospatial software installation on the planet (and satellites and other planets!) in 26 years. The ultimate example of sharing & community. #foss4g

@bdon @insertcoffee This is cool. A couple of years ago, I gave a couple of talks on discrete global grid systems, and we made this graph comparing the areas of each cell and showing where they align with the different grid systems. It might be time to revisit that work.

@alexgleith @mouthofmorrison I learned recently that MAPS stands for "My Angus Please Stay".

Hey, team, I was asked to attend the @opengeospatial event in Montreal this week, and take part in the debate. Here is a transcript of my opening statement. Standard Urgency, by @geo_will open.substack.com/pub/strategicg…

Dropped into Montreal for the @opengeospatial’s Canada forum. Excited to talk about @SparkgeoUK’s @NCEOscience EO data hub project on physical asset risk, and take part in the debate! If you are here too, hit me up.

@mouthofmorrison It's not stupid. it's practical. Show me a picture of your shoes... I want to see something....

Becoming a Dad changed me, biologically. I’ve suddenly become covetous of stupid hats. It’s a primal urge.

In Ottawa this week, and ain’t seen @JustinTrudeau even once! ;) Would love to talk #geospatial #technology, northern border monitoring and government procurement for small business ;)

New blog post up! See cloudnativegeo.org/blog/2024/05/t… This one is a deep dive for a narrower audience, exploring many of the ideas we're experimenting with in fiboa (github.org/fiboa) - adapting the core + extensions with JSON Schema concept from STAC to general vector data.
