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

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.

New blog post up! See cloudnativegeo.org/blog/2024… 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.
