Check out the Cloud-Native Geo starter pack. It is an excellent way to keep up with this growing community in the geospatial and GIS industry.

If you are active in this community, send me a note so I can add you!

My Overture/Source Coop/Cloud downloader QGIS plug-in is live! It lets you download a GeoParquet or GeoPackage for just your view port from hosted GeoParquet files.

Check it out at plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgis... and install it by searching for 'GeoParquet Downloader' in the QGIS plugin manager.
