I prepared two portable builds of QGIS 4 for Windows (full + light).
Run QGIS without installation — just download, extract and launch.
Useful for GIS training, workshops, students, or restricted workstations without admin rights.

Geo-enabling Apache #Hop: @edigonzales has been geo-enabling the open-source #ETL tool #ApacheHop, building #GDAL/#OGR reader and writer plug-ins and adding an interactive preview for geometries: Early days, but promising progress toward a fully geo-capable data integration pipeline tool.

Finally, we have our 3rd speaker Dr Stuart Grieve from the Queen Mary University of London representing the academia.

If you are hiring or planning to hire for spatial roles soon, please come along.

built-in #geometry datatype in @duckdb v1.5 without plugin - that is huge! #gis #gischat #spatial #geospatial
https://duckdb.org/2026/03/09/announcing-duckdb-150#geometry-becomes-a-built-in-type
The good news: #DuckDB now includes #Geometry as a built-in type, a major step forwards for this #database engine.
The bad news: it stores #Geographic #Coordinates backwards, with #longitude first. Beware of interoperability with other software.

When I moved from India to London last year, James was kind enough to invite me for a lunch, and now I am inviting him to speak at the first London "Geo" Meetup.
James will be presenting on "Undo/Redo in Terradraw".
It's a library for drawing on maps that supports MapLibre, Google Maps, OpenLayers and Leaflet out the box.
Look forward to his talk at the LGM on the coming Wed 11th March.

How can open #geodata support better decisions in humanitarian response, infrastructure planning, and climate action?
In our latest blog post, we present five open datasets that support humanitarian aid, infrastructure planning, and climate research. Each dataset is free for everyone to explore. 🔍

[Show GN: 실제 지구본 위에 픽셀을 찍는 협업 캔버스를 만들었습니다
WorldCanvas는 실제 지구본을 기반으로 한 협업 캔버스 프로젝트로, r/place에서 영감을 받았습니다. 주요 특징으로는 2.68조 픽셀의 고해상도, 실시간 동기화, 글로브와 평면 간의 자동 전환이 있습니다. 사용자들은 지구본 위에 픽셀을 찍고, 줌아웃하면 지구 전체에서 자신의 픽셀을 확인할 수 있습니다.
