Slides for my @foss4gna.bsky.social NA talk, "Cloud-Native Geospatial Metadata with stac-geoparquet" are at www.gadom.ski/presentation...
I subtitled the talk "Practical STAC", because #stac-geoparquet was motivated by real-world problems found while managing large @stacspec.bsky.social systems
We recently completed the move of the #stac-geoparquet specification documents to a new repository in the @radiant.earth Github org: github.com/radiantearth...
Check out the rendered HTML here: radiantearth.github.io/stac-geoparq...
We're honored to serve as fiscal sponsor for Common Space, as they work to build a high-res satellite constellation for humanitarian aid. If you use sat imagery for social good, fill out their survey to help shape their 🛰️ mission requirements @billfgreer.bsky.social
