In general, open source development patterns mean that improvements to one low-level component can have exponential benefits as that change gets incorporated down the dependency chain It's easy to see why FOSS was originally a sort of utopian ideal

The Journal of Open Source Software is looking for new editors -- and, relevant to my community here, we're particularly looking for folks with a background in geographic data science, remote sensing, ecology, or urban science

@defuneste@fosstodon.org one of many download venues! Believe it's still freely accessible via EarthExplorer and MRLC (though I confess I haven't tried a download yet)

this is a half-formed opinion! but: older tech would force migrations of data into newer formats, and damn anyone who didn't. I genuinely don't have a good understanding of how to evaluate the current status quo, which doesn't force migrations but does force new tools to support old formats

to some extent: I wonder if tools would be better if we were still in a place where we could enforce data standards on providers maybe we can't do that anymore! but that definitely feels like a different era than past tools, which could say "you're doing my data standard or you're left behind"

@mdsumner@rstats.me @hughagraham@fosstodon.org does raster calc require python bindings?
