A Look Back at My Open-Source Journey in 2025!
As 2025 comes to a close, I’d like to share a brief summary of my open-source and content-creation work this year.
I worked intensively on five open-source projects, including GeoAI, SamGeo, Leafmap, AnyMap, and Geemap. They together have accumulated nearly 14,000 GitHub stars. You can follow ongoing updates and releases on GitHub:
github.com/opengeos
In parallel, I published 145 videos on YouTube. My YouTube channel has gained 57K subscribers, reached 2.7M views, and accumulated 143K watch hours. If you’re interested in geospatial Python, GeoAI, and open-source workflows, feel free to subscribe:

I also shared more than 160 original posts across social media, engaging with the community and documenting new features, tutorials, and releases. You can find me across platforms using the handle
@giswqs.
This year, I published two books: Introduction to GIS Programming (
gispro.gishub.org) and Spatial Data Management with DuckDB (
duckdb.gishub.org), both focused on practical, open-source geospatial workflows.
I’m deeply grateful for the feedback and support from the open-source and geospatial communities. If you have suggestions for improving my current projects, or ideas for new ones to explore in 2026, I’d love to hear them in the comments.
Wishing everyone a productive 2026! 🎉
