I'm very pleased to share the full details on 'fiboa' - a data schema and ecosystem to improve the interoperability of agricultural field boundaries and related data. It's my favorite project to work on lately. Start with our intro post: cloudnativegeo.org/blog/2024/04/i… 🧵(1/n)

@FedExHelp - We've got two air pallets with our belongings as we're moving abroad. They were supposed to arrive 1 day ago, but there are no updates. It's been sitting in the same spot for 10+ days. Really worried it's lost, but can't talk manage to talk to anyone - please help!

Just published a post on new features in the GeoParquet Downloader QGIS Plug-in I've been working on, see cholmes.medium.com/new-features-o… The most exciting thing to me is that a majority of the new enhancements have come from outside contributors.

I'm incredibly pumped that we'll be launching 'phase 2' of the TGE initiative that lead to Fields of The World (fieldsofthe.world) and fiboa (github.org/fiboa). And I'd like to invite you to join us! See tgengine.org/tge-innovation… for more info...

I just published a blog post sharing some videos on how to make a QGIS plugin with AI coding tools: cholmes.medium.com/learn-how-to-m… I've been having great fun with it, so wanted to help demystify the process for anyone curious & hopefully inspire more people to add cool stuff to QGIS!
