Big news from OpenGlobus contributor @baloola2 !
#OpenGlobus now supports huge Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs. Local files or remote COGs. Multiple sources. On-the-fly reprojection. All through a regular map layer.
Thank you, Mussab! Open source makes this possible.

We're happy to welcome two new contributors to OpenGlobus!
👏 Mochammad Fadhlan Al-Ghiffari - fixed a camera rotation issue, improving globe navigation and positioning.
👏 Mussab Abdalla - brought GeoTIFF support to OpenGlobus, opening up new possibilities for working with geospatial raster data.
It's great to see new people getting involved and helping OpenGlobus grow.
Thank you both for your contributions! 🚀

Three years ago today, war broke out in Sudan, leading to the largest humanitarian crisis of the 21st century with unimaginable atrocities committed against civilian populations.
Since then, Sudan Witness has systematically documented conflict-related incidents and harm to civilians using open-source information, analysing over 10,800 pieces of data to build an evidence base of events on the ground.
Today, we are launching the Sudan Witness Data Hub, bringing together all of our maps, datasets, and dashboards in one place to support researchers, journalists, humanitarians, and others working to keep eyes on Sudan, pursue accountability, and protect civilians. 1/6
So happy that my PR was merged into @openglobus! 🌍
I just realized this is the first time in years I’ve voluntarily contributed to an open-source project. Even if the contribution is small, it’s important to give back to the projects we love.
Today's Sentinel-2 image of El Fasher is out. Visible red dots are concentrated in the eastern and southern areas. While their nature is uncertain, one dot in the northwest appears to be the roof of the Saudi hospital, not a fire. Again not yet available on the Copernicus website
"Sentinel-2 imagery (July 13, 08:16 AM) shows what appear to be combat-related fires in Um Semima, Sudan. This comes amidst conflicting reports of RSF capturing the area, followed by claims from the army of regaining control of the strategic location.

Sentinel-2 infrared imagery from June 4, 2025, reveals a fire spot at Nyala Airport. This corroborates recent reports of the airport being targeted multiple times in recent days.

Our first Python course for the Sudanese community in Vienna has successfully concluded! The "What's Next" presentation was introduced by Lubomír Doležal from @pyladies_vie, and featured insights from amazing PyLadies mentors, including @__fschindler__ from @getsentry!
Around a year ago, the Sudan Club in Wien embarked on an inspiring journey, launching our dedicated Training Unit. Our aim: to empower the Sudanese community in Austria by providing free workshops and courses to enhance skills for both the job market and daily life.🧵
From practical sessions on CV writing to foundational programming, like our recent Python course, we're proud of the progress our community has made!

Sentinel-3 detected a fire within the Khartoum industrial area today. Due to the 0.5 km image resolution, pinpointing the exact location is challenging.
