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

USGS

Annual National Land Cover Database

Land cover is foundational information for land managers, scientists, and the general public. Many types of scientific studies have applied annual land cover information including projecting future land use, documenting forest fragmentation or conservation practices, modeling wildfire hazards, tracking water quality and quantity, and understanding change in wildlife habitat and ecosystem disturbance/disease.

@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?
