(1/5) My employer, Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (linz.govt.nz) is now sponsoring GDAL (gdal.org/en/latest/sp...).
I believe we are the first government mapping agency to directly sponsor the project. Would be great to have some peers join us!

If I wanted to persuade someone who only knows ArcGIS/ESRI products that they should look at QGIS/open-source tools, what particular features should I point to? Aside from being free and open-source - what wow features do they have? What can you do easily that you can't in Arc? #gis #gischat #foss4g

I enjoy poking at ESRI. I also poke at everything. There are no sacred cows. My State GIS Organization is constantly going "Welp Randy hates ESRI because he uses that open source stuff". No - I use it because of ABC - I don't hate anything. It cracks me up how in 2026 this is still a black and […]

My 2025 talk at #FOSS4G EU is up online!
It was a really fun opportunity to share about hydrography. One of the points in my introduction was that hydrographic data is only special to a point, and then more general geospatial techniques can and should be employed. Intersectional geospatial!

FOSS4GE 2025 | Adapting Legacy Code with Boost.Geometry: A Hydrographic Perspective
QPS maintains a substantial legacy codebase of approximately 5.5 million lines of code, developed over the past 35 years to collect, process, analyze, and deliver hydrographic spatial data. Updating this codebase to incorporate new libraries often requires significant refactoring to accommodate new data types. Recently, we successfully transitioned from an in-house solution to `Boost.Geometry` for spatial indexing. This transition required far less refactoring than anticipated, primarily due to `Boost.Geometry`'s ability to adapt to our existing geometry types. `Boost.Geometry`'s geometry types are concrete implementations of "concepts," which facilitate the adaptation of user-defined geometry types to seamlessly integrate with its algorithms and spatial indexing features. In this presentation, I will: - Provide an overview of the unique spatial data we handle in hydrography. - Share our success story of transitioning to `Boost.Geometry`. - Discuss how `Boost.Geometry` enabled us to generalize our spatial indexing. - Demonstrate, through a brief code example, how to use concepts to adapt existing types for use with `Boost.Geometry`. Join me to learn how `Boost.Geometry` can streamline your transition to modern spatial indexing solutions while minimizing codebase disruption.
