Get your ticket soon, and come join an incredible group of people in Utah - you won't regret it. But you likely will regret NOT going, not being there at this inflection point for the CNG movement, and connecting with such an awesome group of people.

The AI tools also really make it much easier to 'drop in' and just spend 20-30 minutes but make some concrete progress.

Do it! The vibe coding for QGIS is amazing these days. My recent learning is to start with plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plug... to start with a good structure. And newborns sleep a lot 😀 - I got through a lot of Breath of the Wild after putting mine (now 6) down. But qgis coding is just as fun...

Just download that zip, and in QGIS go to Plugins -> Manage and Install Plugins -> Install from ZIP. Ideally you have v0.6 or earlier of GeoParquet Downloader plugin installed. It should pop up a message & guide you to know what's happening. Please let me know if it works, or what went wrong.

(unless you love SQL and have your lat/long coordinates memorized).

A big thanks to all the new contributors!

I think my favorite (pictured in the gif) is the ability to select multiple

layers and then have the plugin download them all at once. I'm pretty confident it's now the easiest way to get a bunch of Overture data for your area of interest.

It's so cool to see the plug-in get better as different people 'scratch their own itch' and add what they think is useful.
