Scaling spatial computing at Wherobots, Inc. ApacheArrow PMC, #gischat, #rstats, ex Voltron Data.
I taught a 70 person section of intro to computer science and the automated checks were a total godsend. (I also ran out of GitHub Actions minutes almost immediately...)

Finally...we're now on crates.io! We're still learning how to support Rust projects that are interested in spatial support...leave a note on our repo if you're interested!

We were fortunate to have over 40 functions contributed since our last release, but if we didn't get to your favourite you can now patch it in via pyarrow and/or shapely!

On the write side, SedonaDB can now write GeoParquet 1.1 files with spatial sorting and limited row group size to optimize partial reads when hosting or viewing large files.

Just like our GeoParquet suport, if your query contains one or more WHERE ST_Intersects() (or similar), this is automatically pushed into the data source to read as little as possible!

We're proud to officially be GDAL in a trenchcoat! You can now query GeoPackage, FlatGeoBuf, Shapefile, or anything else supported by GDAL/OGR, including URLs, zipped files, directories, and globs.
