[gdal-dev] FOSS4G2019: State of GDAL kind of presentation

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

FYI I've just submitted a proposal for a 'State of GDAL' talk.

Suggestions to improve wording and/or content of the below abstract 
appreciated.

"""
After a brief introduction to the project, this talk will focus on the two 
feature-oriented releases which have occurred during the last year, GDAL 2.4 
and GDAL 2.5.
We will explore new drivers (Google Earth Engine Data API, NextGIS Web, 
GeoJSON sequence, TileDB, ...), improved drivers (BAG, GeoTIFF with Lerc and 
WebP codecs, Geospatial PDF generation…), improved algorithms (polygonal 
contouring), new virtual file systems, the integration of PROJ 6 and its 
benefits (proper database with definitions of coordinate reference systems and 
coordinate operations, support for WKT 2, late-binding transformations)
The advance of community efforts that have lead to a revamped Python testing 
suite and documentation/web site will also be presented.
"""
