Happy 28th 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 28 years. The ultimate example of sharing & community. #foss4g
For 🇨🇦 QGIS users: you will notice a news item on your dashboard today, when you start QGIS (!). Thanks to the QGIS.ORG team for their help in publishing this. (the news item will appear a little differently if you use QGIS 4 versus QGIS 3, but the message gets across great either way!) #foss4g #family
