To celebrate the launch in @leslibresgeographes #SDI of an #ETL service for #openstreetmap data with #tags in English but also in French for the 28 #francophone countries of the South (thanks to @osm_fr replications extracts and diffs), I'm publishing a blog post to retrace the context, the history, the technical approach and the ways to access this data #OSM #opendata #commun #georchestra #qgis leslibresgeographes.org/des-do

The Sustainable Development Index has been updated with data through 2022. The SDI is a metric that (broadly) normalizes a country's level of human development by the resource consumption & ecological impacts required to provide that human development. Both hyperconsumptive & underdeveloped countries score poorly, while middle income countries focused on wellbeing tend to score well (Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, Uruguay)

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDEXSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INDEXThe Sustainable Development Index (SDI) measures the ecological efficiency of human development, recognizing that development must be achieved within planetary boundaries. It was created to update the Human Development Index (HDI) for the ecological realities of the Anthropocene.

GStreamer 1.24 will include a plugin for AJA capture / playback cards

I developed a GStreamer plugin for AJA SDI / HDMI capture / playback cards over the last few years in separate repository on GitHub but now that it has proven to work reliably for multiple people and the underlying NTV2 SDK is actually open source, nothing was preventing it from getting merged into GStreamer proper anymore.

So starting with the 1.24 GStreamer release there will be an AJA plugin included. If you're building GStreamer via meson this even comes with a subproject for the NTV2 SDK so you only need to make sure that a driver for your card is loaded.

If you want to test it, now is the best time to make sure there are no unexpected bugs left for your use-case before the release!

#SDI was yesterday, #CloudNativeGeo is the future. It spares you all the server side hustle of maintaining SDI webservices, because its all just static files on an http/s webserver and facilitates WASM for clientside processing and querying of the data. This looks just so beautiful to me. cloudnativegeo.org/about/
