Learning from the “cool kids”: how academic research can benefit from becoming more like open-source
While academic research heavily depends on open-source software, the relationship is often one-way. We believe that designing research in close relation to open-source development is beneficial for all parties and present one way of doing that, by turning a research project into a component of the open-source ecosystem.
State of GeoPandas ecosystem
GeoPandas is one of the core packages in the Python ecosystem to work with geospatial vector data. This talk will give an overview of recent developments in GeoPandas and the broader ecosystem.
Scaling up vector analysis with Dask-GeoPandas
This workshop introduces the Dask-GeoPandas library and walks you through its key components, allowing you to take a GeoPandas workflow and run it in parallel, out-of-core and even distributed on a remote cluster.
