Hmm this job require ESRI, should I be blunt in my cover letter and tell them that I can do everything they want without paying a license and that they can pay 10% of it to FOSS dev/org?

In #foss4ge2025 I was talking about Mercator projection, and what is the difference with "Web-Mercator"

These images (at different zoom levels) show a loxodromic curve (at 45° N) in Web-Mercator (EPSG:3857) - that is a straight line in Mercator (EPSG:3395). In red the loxodromic or rhumline. In blue a straight line connecting the endpoints.

(To reproduce it in #QGIS, deselect "Clip features to canvas extent" for the affected layers as discussed in https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/62654)

Vector tiles for openstreetmap.org: Yesterday, the #OpenStreetMap Foundation (#OSMF) launched #vectortiles on #OSM, delivering a sharper and faster map powered by a new backend. Developers may use the OSMF-hosted tiles under the Vector Tile Usage Policy and apply their own map styles.

Help from the #rstats folks. I have a landuse raster and a state raster. I want to tabulate the area of each landuse in each state. I've been reading {terra} docs but I can't figure out which function to use (`zonal` or `crostab`, `freq`).

I believe I've done this before but I can´t remember how. Any tips?

ESRI settlement case.

No idea what is claim 7

“Claim (7) (for unfair, unlawful, or fraudulent business practices“

Very nice mapping project

I got a commission to render a map of the municipality of Macabebe (and Masantol) in the province of Pampanga, #Philippines . So here’s a preview of the said map.

Almost all of the data is from #OpenStreetMap.

(Commissions are open if you want maps and like how I create maps. )
