🚀 QGIS2VectorTiles v2.3 is here — with a huge performance boost!

✅ Preprocessing now runs in parallel using multiple QGIS tasks.
🕜 No more waiting on endless rules exports.

Scale your resources, generate stunning web maps faster and do not forget to say goodbye to ESRI’s VTPK.

Please share and help spread the word.
Go #FOSS ! 🙂

I am excited about this tech and where it's going but I can't help try to point *away from* the thing that just didn't bring the tech *already* but obstinately blocked it for reasons unknown

https://sedona.apache.org/latest/blog/2026/03/01/sedonadb-030-release/#r-gdalogr-read-support here's some examples of less-amazing alternative: https://gist.github.com/mdsumner/fc16a9f98ed35dbfcd944124da02fcf5 supported A VERY LONG TIME by #GDAL

SedonaDB 0.3.0 Release - Apache Sedona

Apache Sedona is a cluster computing system for processing large-scale spatial data. Sedona extends existing cluster computing systems, such as Apache Spark, Apache Flink, and Snowflake, with a set of out-of-the-box distributed Spatial Datasets and Spatial SQL that efficiently load, process, and analyze large-scale spatial data across machines.

Oh no, remote #GeoParquet is much less fun in #QGIS than I thought. These few polygons took ~50 Megabytes to fetch. I guess it is not enough to just use #GDAL defaults.
How do I build a #FlatGeobuf with #GDAL that makes #QGIS *not* scan the whole file when adding to determine some metadata?

Schluss mit langen Ladezeiten bei Luftbildern 🫵

🗺️ GeoTIFFs knacken schnell die Gigabyte-Marke – träge Dienste, volle Festplatten. Muss das sein?

Dennis Davidsohn zeigt auf der #FOSSGIS2026 mit #GDAL wie's besser geht:
• Pyramiden für flüssiges Zoomen
• Kompression & optimale Formatwahl

💡 Pflichttermin für alle mit großen Orthofotos!

#GeoTIFF #Rasterdaten #Performance

Optimierung von Rasterdaten mit GDAL FOSSGIS-Konferenz 2026

Luftbilder spielen in vielen Anwendungen eine zentrale Rolle und werden meist als GeoTIFF gespeichert. Die Eigenschaften solcher Rasterdaten stellen jedoch häufig eine Herausforderung für Speicherung, Verarbeitung und Darstellung dar. In diesem Vortrag werden Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, Rasterdaten mit GDAL zu optimieren.

#rust rewrite of #gdal
I am skeptical, but let's see ...

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.
