Community Mapathons in India 🇮🇳
🗺 Mapathon in Pune
In May, #UNMaps Community Ambassador Pawan Muddu joined online for a mapathon hosted by Tomtom. They completed mapping flood-affected and drought-prone areas in India.
🎤 Swecha presentation
In June, Pawan was invited to share about #UNMappers & #openstreetmap by Swecha, a #foss community in India. Students learned about OSM and how it can potentially be used for their projects.

Every #FOSS4G gives me bad ideas and a bunch of TODOs. For last week, it was a tool to convert AIS in CSV format into OGC's Moving Features JSON, which I had to rewrite in Rust so it doesn't crash when out of memory when processing the AIS datasets, which can be multi-gigabyte.

At #FOSS4G Europe I attended the awesome workshop on #mapserver with Seth and Even. I was really impressed with the capabilities, but even more with the depth and quality of the prepared materials and help and explanations. Thanks. Super cool 🌎😎🗺️💻

In today's #gleo news (and just in time for the #foss4ge2026 workshop): UI control for M-values.
A simplistic control for intervalified/trajectorified/trailified symbols. It's not too pretty, but it feels really nice and useful.

In today's #gleo news: Several more modes for the "intervalify" decorator.
This means that, for data which involves a M-coordinate (e.g. time), the GL code can show either a span or just the top bit of the span or what's not on the span. Combine several and you can symbolize the inside of the span and the edge of the span differently.
And just in time for the #FOSS4GE.

Volunteering for the campaign of #GLPvdA during the last municipal elections in Rotterdam inspired me to try a small pilot for planning and monitoring canvassing with #QGIS and @merginmaps.
In my new video, I show how to set up a similar workflow: simple, practical, and fully #opensource.▶️Watch on QwastTube: https://videos.qwast-gis.com/w/je8KqK2BpNyNREiavxidYB

confused about #postgis ST_NPoints with polygons, because a triangle apparently has 4 points.
SELECT ST_NPoints(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON ((0 0, 0 1, 1 0, 0 0 ))'));
From a technical point it makes sense, but it is also quite unintuitive, because normal people on the street would definitely say a triangle has 3 points ...

Just open-sourced QGIS Style Manager v0.3 — export & import layer styles (QML) with project-based organization.
v1 was a local QGIS 3.x tool. Migrating to QGIS 4.0 / Qt6 broke a few things — enums, return types, deprecated APIs — so I fixed it up and made it public.
✅ Compatible with QGIS 4.0 (Qt6)
✅ Auto-organizes styles into ProjectName/ subfolders
✅ Configurable keyboard shortcuts
✅ i18n support (EN + UK) -

How did Calgary respond to the wet summer of 2025?
Here’s the median summer NDVI map derived from Sentinel-2 imagery.
You can clearly see the Bow River corridor, Nose Hill Park, and the contrast between established tree-rich communities and newer developments.Full analysis here:
