💻 Virtual hackathons: continue to be successful at bringing in new community members and focusing energy.
- 🛠️ Big topic of discussion right now: Reproducible processing toolbox!
🤑 Looking for funding opportunities! What are you aware of?
- NSF GEO OSE Track 2, due November. High effort.
🔧 Processing toolbox
- Export to shapefile?
  - http://switchfromshapefile.org/
  - Brookie: Shapefiles ubiquitous. It might be a mistake not to support them!
  - We could deprioritize shapefiles?
  - Could point to an online converter tool until we support shapefile export
- POC has been merged geojupyter/jupytergis#510 🎉
- Support other units: User enters e.g. meters, convert to degrees, pass to GDAL in native projection units.
  - Spatialite supports unit conversion, but doesn’t seem to be geospatially aware: https://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/spatialite-sql-5.1.0.html#length_cvt
  - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62514871/how-to-change-buffer-size-from-degrees-to-distance-by-meters-in-postgis
Layer export: geojupyter/jupytergis#528
- Warn users when converting vector data to raster (lossy). Hover-over ⚠️ icon?
- Move format-changing operation into processing toolbox and only support exporting vector as vector and raster as raster?
