Our own @stefdegreef has fully covered the entire Belgian capital #Brussels by bike to create street-level imagery in 360° using one of our GoPro Hero Max's. All footage is available on @mapillary .com under the CC-BY-SA license. Massive applause👏👏👏 mapillary.com/app/user/Stefd…

The first release of GeoParquet is out! This is a new geospatial vector data (point, line, polygon) format that is built on Parquet, an awesome columnar-storage format. See github.com/opengeospatial/ge… for more information and join the growing community! (1/4)

Thanks @tiledb for contributing PDAL's enhanced Python API. Thanks to this, you can now compose PDAL operations in Python instead of just passing JSON to PDAL. It should open up huge possibilities for people mixing point clouds with Python's ML machinery.

Thanks to @tiledb, @pointcloudpipe now has an enhanced Python API that support composition, meshio, streaming, and better numpy support. Grab the source from pypi.org/project/PDAL/ or wait for @condaforge to catch up its feedstock.

Cloud Optimized Point Cloud, or COPC, seeks to live in the same niche as COG does for raster data, which allows for single-file storage of a the most common container format with support for spatially accelerated incremental remote access. Read up on it at copc.io/DRAFT-SPEC.html

With support from @NumFOCUS and @GdalOrg's sponsors gdal.org/sponsors/index.html, we took a big step yesterday in fixing things so the GDAL guy in France isn't in this spot all alone. lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gd…

Help us shape the future of @geopandas development. We're launching our first GeoPandas User Survey! forms.gle/ZYAbPeXURGvudY3V8 It takes 5-10 minutes. After we close it in about a month, we will share the results with you. Thank you!

The Gentoo and Ubuntu of datascience: thinking about a source distribution based on mamba, quetz, boa and conda-packages, so users can recompile with custom compiler flags and use special build-features. I'll get a prototype of this into boa soon! wolfv.github.io/posts/2020/0…

Yay! @pandas_dev officially added consistent missing data handling to its roadmap! 🎉 pandas.pydata.org/docs/dev/d… If you'd like to see this sooner rather than later and want to help with making it actually happen (and not only words on a roadmap ;-)), don't hesitate to contact me

I've been prototyping a lightweight Sphinx extension that lets you add *interactive code cells to your docs*. It uses @mybinderteam under the hood. Give it a shot, I'd love to hear what people think! sphinx-thebelab.readthedocs.…
