✨What’s new in geocomputation this year?
The #geocompx 2025 update covers project milestones, current work, and future plans.
Chapter 8 of Geocomputation with Python is all about cartography:
🎨 Designing maps
🖼️ Static maps with .plot & rasterio.plot.show
🌐 Interactive maps with .explore

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the presentation and of course to pygeoapi itself.
pygeoapi - An OGC API for geospatial data
pygeoapi is a Python server implementation of the OGC API suite of standards. The project emerged as part of the next generation OGC API efforts in 2018 and provides the capability for organizations to deploy an RESTful OGC API endpoint using OpenAPI, GeoJSON, and HTML. pygeoapi is open source and released under an MIT license.

Check out the pygeometa FOSS4G 2025 status update presentation: https://pvgenuchten.github.io/slides/slides/2025-foss4g-pygeometa-project-update.html
The presentation was well attended/received and had good discussions around ISO 19115 parts 3/4, as well as import/export of QGIS .qmd files.
What are the most exciting trends you’re seeing in spatial data science lately?
Some of mine:
- New file formats (e.g. #GeoParquet)
- Geospatial DBs (e.g. #DuckDB + spatial)
- Global discrete grids
What would you add?
Diving into pygeoapi and Doing Geospatial in Python workshops in the books for #foss4g2025 ! Thanks to all of the participants, and to @krishnaglodha and @dovtov for your help this year! #foss4g @pygeoapi #geopython @opengeospatial #OGCAPI
