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. https://t.co/hSG0tgk89g

@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 https://t.co/i61EkmpzUS to learn more.

If you use GDAL with Conda, see https://t.co/cT1qh2SrE2 for instructions to upgrade your existing environment to recent GDAL builds that now use libjpeg-turbo
github.com
I might be wrong, but it seems to me that the GDAL build uses IJG libjpeg, and not libjpeg turbo (https://github.com/conda-forge/libjpeg-turbo-feedstock). The later is what has been used for years ...

Thanks to Kikitte Lee for contributing a new raster->vector polygonizer algorithm, that is up to 10 times faster in some cases:
github.com
What does this PR do? The Two-Arm Chains EdgeTracing Algorithm does a faster, memory saving, and robust polygonize job. It is described in Junhua Teng, Fahui Wang, Yu Liu, An Efficient Algorithm fo...

Not yet adopted, but we are already mentioned as a reference implementation!
Seeking public comment on FlatGeobuf becoming an OGC Community Standard. FlatGeobuf is a performant binary encoding for geographic data that works well as a “cloud native” lossless format for vector data #OGCPubCom

All that made possible by us. And practicality of working directly from #shizzle will increase again when @sozipOrg reaches your GDAL build
Did you know, #geopandas can read and write directly to and from zipped #shapefiles, a.k.a #shizzle files (.shz). #gischat

Thanks to @hobu, our master builds are now available back on Conda on the "gdal-master" channel. All details at https://t.co/ujibZqak5o. Using bleeding edge GDAL has never been so easy

There are limits to our good will that some have "precisely" exceeded :-) And our abstraction model doesn't necessarily capture all specialized data models.
@berttemme Core issue from the article, "..but nothing fit our particular needs. So like Google, we embarked upon creating our own specification..", like everyone else. Should a spatial format reach critical mass, standard or not, the great homogenizer @GdalOrg will handle it.

Relax @EvenRouault . At the end of the day, all those rather ephemeral mind constructions look pretty much the same after a gdal_translate -of COG or ogr2ogr -f GeoPackage (the later being best supplemented with @sozipOrg )
