@6artvde @tomkralidis @geographika @mapserver_osgeo Nope. And I'm sure I missed another great FOSS4G. No need to remind me. :)

Updated my most popular post ever, "GeoTIFF compression for Dummies", with extra JPEG compression and mention of the new Hotness, COG. https://t.co/Qvis7az3l9

[Daniel Morissette @dmorissette]

@pwramsey I just realized (as you had pointed out in one of the comments) that with the latest versions of GDAL one can also use the COG format which embeds these tricks for you https://t.co/RLKVAye6vA

Thanks again @pwramsey from 2015!! I pointed someone this FAQ-article once again today! https://t.co/rueRZln6iH #GDAL #MapServer #GeoTIFF #Compression #YCBCR

Interesting read for those like me still trying to understand the dynamics behind the invasion

Half of my family (through my father’s line) is in Russia, and I can confirm this horrific reality. Putin is only a symptom of a systemic disease.

GDAL 3.3.3 is released: https://t.co/QwzC2jWBRW

[@[email protected] @howardbutler]

CMake support in GDAL is a perfect example of the kind of maintenance effort the GDAL sponsorship program enables. No single contributor or contributing organization had the wherewithal to carry the effort forward for the three releases necessary to complete the transition.

[@[email protected] @howardbutler]

Bespoke, non-standard, lacking in features, and frustrating in behavior, https://t.co/Hq91hfDhGq's build system has always been something that developers worked around. Thanks to https://t.co/082h8iybwz, @EvenRouault, @miurahr and @nyalldawson are adding CMake build support.

[gdal org @GdalOrg]

Exciting to have @nyalldawson joining the team as a sponsored maintainer !

@Mapgears @guyaroy @LeQuotidien_Cyb Comme l'a très bien rapporté @guyaroy « Quand j’ai quitté la région, au milieu des années 1990, on me disait que je ne reviendrais pas dans la région, faute d’emploi. J’ai fini par revenir et créer des jobs de qualité. J’en suis très fier »

[gdal org @GdalOrg]

We're very excited to join @NumFOCUS and the opportunities this will provide to the project!

GDAL 3.3.1 is released: https://t.co/V1s4NifKfV

[@[email protected] @howardbutler]

@pwramsey @postgis We didn't know that when we made these things that just needed to be made that they would be around forever (GDAL, PROJ, MapServer, GeoServer, GEOS, PostGIS).

[Paul Ramsey @pwramsey]

The first @PostGIS release was 20 years ago. Here's a little background colour. https://t.co/hSF8iBWrzf
