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.

@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.
#GDAL 3.7.0 is released: https://t.co/pf2krSc7Ma . It includes JSON output for ogrinfo, TileDB vector support, reading of FileGeodatabase raster datasets, @sozip (Seek optimized ZIP) read/write support and many other enhancements and fixes.
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
@EvenRouault posted a nice summary of the work he has done for the @GdalOrg sponsorship program to the mailing list https://t.co/sW4A8UJql6 Thank you so much to the sponsors for supporting such high impact activities that benefit everyone using GDAL. https://t.co/cBgz0hSWwJ
Thanks to Kikitte Lee for contributing a new raster->vector polygonizer algorithm, that is up to 10 times faster in some cases: https://t.co/9uhBHrOHr9
@pwramsey@postholer Given that @flatgeobuf (at least the GDAL implementation) reorders records to be in the order of the packed Hilbert R-Tree, you would end up rewriting the whole file when changing/appending to it, whatever the location of the index
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 https://t.co/ZchbJgOUVl
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.
