@calli #OpenSource #GIS software actually IS commercial GIS too ! You mean competitors to proprietary solutions maybe ?

At @oslandia we made numerous migrations from proprietary GIS softwares to OpenSource, in production-ready environments. Get in touch if you want more info.

Some use cases are also showcased on QGIS website ( qgis.org/project/case-studies/ ), and #FOSS4G conferences as well as QGIS conferences ( or @JourneesQgis ) are full of feedback from users migrating !

The largest competitor to commercial #GIS is open source software and tools – #FOSSGIS infrastructure is now at a level where municipalities and companies shift away from commercial solutions. Would anyone happen to have any material (case studies etc.) on this topic to prove this point?

Das war die #FOSSGIS2025 in Münster.

Wir waren wieder als Platinsponsor mit unserem Team vor Ort und freuen uns, an so einer erfolgreiche Veranstaltung teilgenommen zu haben. Wir sind bereichert von dem regen Austausch mit Expertinnen und Experten der GIS-Szene, aufschlussreichen Vortragsthemen und der Diskussion spannender neuer Erkenntnisse! 🤝🏻

Alle Vorträge wurden aufgezeichnet und sind auch online verfügbar

Ich hab da mal was vorbereitet ...

... und zwar ein Glossar.

Nach der 5ten oder 6ten Folge aus der Staffel #fossgis2025 bin ich nämlich aus dem AküFi-Cyber-Zauber nicht mehr rausgekommen. HDV, ALS, GRASS, GML, INSPIRE. JOSM, LiDAR.... Da rauchte mir die Birne... Nicht lange überlegt habe ich mal ein Glossar angefangen. Auch gerne zum mitmachen. Einfach kurz bscheid geben. Hedgedoc Dokument ist offen:

“The rgrass package allows us to interact with GRASS tools (and data) serving as an interface between GRASS and R. The rgrass package source code can be found at: github.com/OSGeo/rgrass. In this fast track tutorial, [they will teach you] how to use GRASS from R…”

I have a #GDAL / #QGIS question for the #GIS‌ commnunity in the Fediverse #askFedi concerning the use of geolocation arrays in raster datsets, i.e. in bands the hold (for example) the latitude and longitude of each cell in the raster.

I'm used to produce datasets in UTM format, for which adding the appropriate georeference metadata is simple. However, in this case I'm producing a raster dataset where the cells are distributed in a “warped” area (think aerial imagery with non-affine transform from data matrix to geo coordinates). I have arrays holding resp. the latitude and longitude of each pixel, and can add it to the dataset, I can specify the GCRS (lat/lon WGS84), but I can't seem to be able to find the metadata to add to the raster so that the goelocation arrays are correctly identified as such.

Online there seems to be only sparse documentation about this, generally implying that this is only supported for specific dataset types in specific formats (usually, the standard format from common satellite data) and the only pages I've found on how to “roll your own” refer to a single old-ish mailing list contribution that recommends the use of a sidecar VRT file. Are there any more modern solutions possible?

I recently sent a list of learning resources to a MSc student I'm working with, and (with her permission) am sharing in case others find it useful

‼️ #Russians strike #Sudzha gas metering station again and accuse #Ukraine of shelling energy sector

The head of the Centre for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defence Council, #Andrey_Kovalenko, has already written that it was the #Russians who again attacked the #GIS in a territory that they do not control.

By the way, regarding the violation of the ceasefire agreements: in the last 24 hours alone, the #Russians have struck #Ukrainian energy twice .
