Just sent another $300+ to OSGeo! Reminder: all proceeds go to support the maintainers of GDAL! And it’s not just shirts - we’ve got hoodies too. my-store-9f5dbe.creator-spri…

@blaynechard from @LandInfoNZ did a bunch of useful research to show that NZ would have no problem using @Esri's LERC compression and @cogeotiff (available in recent @GdalOrg) to store and stream their raster elevation content. Visit github.com/linz/elevation/tr… to learn more.

@EvenRouault posted a nice summary of the work he has done for the @GdalOrg sponsorship program to the mailing list lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gd… Thank you so much to the sponsors for supporting such high impact activities that benefit everyone using GDAL. gdal.org/sponsors/index.html

Try me now on @condaforge with @qgis ! conda create --name sozip_test conda activate sozip_test conda install -c gdal-master gdal conda install -c conda-forge qgis And with a @GeoPackage1 file: sozip -j out.gpkg.zip /path/to/in.gpkg qgis out.gpkg.zip

Some even say that a SOZip-compressed File Geodatabase is totally workable. Especially if you open it with @GdalOrg and its reverse engineered FileGeodatabase driver powered with VSI. #FOSS4G for the win!

It is super exciting to see @nyalldawson spinnin up maintenance work in the @GdalOrg repo, and Dan Baston is about to begin GEOS performance tuning in the next few months. All of it possible thanks to the resources provided by the GDAL sponsors gdal.org/sponsors/index.html

#OSGeo4W now has a gdal-dev package with parquet too - and qgis-dev is built against it.

Listen to me talk about @pointcloudpipe, @GdalOrg, and @nfwarmerdam's original GDAL business model which was "be the geospatial data format garbage man so people would outsource that work to an open source library." I also made sure to pronounce every permutation of every project
Episode 337 of CppCast is live! @howardbutler joins @robwirving and @lefticus to talk about the #cplusplus geospatial libraries @GdalOrg and @pointcloudpipe! Listen Now! cppcast.com/gdal-pdal/

This month our open-source donation goes to @GdalOrg — as of last update, Juno supports GDAL and a few other geospatial libraries! 🗺

@GdalOrg works with @NumFOCUS to manage its maintenance sponsorship program gdal.org/sponsors/index.html and without their support, it wouldn't have happened. Please consider supporting it in your year-end giving.
Happy #givingtuesday, everyone 🎁! Our 2021 Year-End Fundraiser kicks off TODAY! For more information on the type of impact your donation will help to create visit numfocus.org/giving-2021. #opensource #datascience

Bespoke, non-standard, lacking in features, and frustrating in behavior, GDAL.org's build system has always been something that developers worked around. Thanks to gdal.org/sponsors, @EvenRouault, @miurahr and @nyalldawson are adding CMake build support.
