Out of interest which OS are you on?

Is anyone up to test my geoparquet downloader qgis plugin? We want to change the directory in the latest release, which means migrating users from the old plugin to the 'new' one. If you could try out github.com/user-attachm... and let me know how it works I'd appreciate it.

Vance certainly has something of the night about him!

I believe that Overture are thinking of using it in the future to link to their hosted geoparquet.

That's incredibly worrying.

Would love to see the code of conduct for this one.

Crazy times huh! Orgs should be pushing their data here and quickly. source.coop

Nobody needs an excuse to go to Leeds, but with FOSS4G-UK coming, it's a no-brainer... uk.osgeo.org

I like that idea. I think that maybe there won't be teachers as such but facilitators. Learning needs to change anyway. The system is fundamentally how it was when I went to school, which was eons ago!

Always makes me think of this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_...

Was it Overture night? Great turn out and speakers by the looks of it!

It's like Twitter used to be. You know, nice and that. Great to see you here!

It's been great to see this open source project develop over the years. Bravo @jameslmilner.bsky.social

Nice work James!

Zuckerberg urges Trump to stop the EU from fining US tech companies Comparing the bloc’s antitrust penalties to tariffs, the Meta boss argued that Brussels is “screwing with” American industry.

I wonder why....

It's embarrassing how they're all bending the knee to Trump.

A thoroughly deserved win by the Pilgrims. Frank was gracious in defeat I thought. #COYG

You best start believing in Climate Change, because the company insuring your home does

"A tile puzzle game created from a map of Cold Lake, Alberta using the OpenTopo basemap. It shows the bottom panel of QGIS where "bored" has been entered for the coordinates." Image & alt text also via Corvus

This really works!! 😲 From Corvus on Mastodon:

"In case you weren't aware, you can just type 'bored' in the coordinates panel of QGIS and get a tile puzzle of whatever you have on your map canvas."

Yeah. Like WTAF!

This is some next level geo merch! Where did you get it from?

I would love to be added please 🙏

Promising initial results with the GeoParquet Downloader QGIS plug-in by @opencholmes.bsky.social. Many traditional GIS workflows can benefit from seamless desktop access to cloud-native data stores. This is GOOG/MSFT/OSM buildings from Source Cooperative in Leonardtown, MD.

This seems like a thing that has slowly crept into society. Also see people having conversations with the loud speaker on. It really bugs me.

Hi Linda. Did you manage to add me.

My Overture/Source Coop/Cloud downloader QGIS plug-in is live! It lets you download a GeoParquet or GeoPackage for just your view port from hosted GeoParquet files.

Check it out at plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgis... and install it by searching for 'GeoParquet Downloader' in the QGIS plugin manager.
