🌍 World GIS Day: We are releasing a global satellite dataset of road surfaces for humanitarian routing & monitoring infrastructure change.

Paved vs. unpaved roads worldwide, based on high-res imagery to support better routing, accessibility mapping & planning where data is scarce.

“The generosity of the group in directly funding the software projects is greatly appreciated, and helps maintain the ongoing sustainability of QGIS”.

Nyall Dawson, Director, North Road

Do you have a open source geo project that could benefit from funding? https://uk.osgeo.org/gofundgeo.html

I’ve rebuilt and updated Public Rights of Way tiles for England and Wales, showing (almost!) every footpath, bridleway and byway, under a licence that allows inclusion in OpenStreetMap. Includes a new Natural England data release with pretty much all of England outside the major conurbations. Map browser and details: https://osm.cycle.travel

#FOSS4GUK 2025 is a wrap. It was an amazing experience and outstanding success. All of our speakers did so well to represent the spirit of OSGeo and #FOSS4G. Our greatest achievement was to welcome so many first time delegates and presenters to carry the torch and define us as a community, diverse, and united. We are looking forward now and hope that our local chapter, with your support, will be given the opportunity to invite you back to the UK for #FOSS4G2027 🌍🌎🌏♥️🫂
