[Ottawa_users] Virtual Meet up this coming Thursday, April 15th?

[Jérôme St-Louis]

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing good despite the difficult pandemic times.

I was thinking we could organize an official "monthly" meetup this 
week/month at the usual 3rd Thursday of the week / 7:00 PM time (April 15).
It has been quite a while since we last did one, although I heard some 
of you did get together virtually a few times.

Suggesting Jitsi:

     Password: NotTheFoxAndFeather

although suggestions for an alternative to jitsi are welcome. If I don't 
hear otherwise I will be hanging outat the above jitsi.

Sorry the radio silence over the last few months...

We have been swamped with work on our /Modular OGC API Workflows/ 
project, financed by Natural Resources Canada's GeoConnections program, 
which just officially ended at the end of March.

On this note, that is one of the things I would like to present to you 
on Thursday if there is interest.

A major output of the project is an extension to /OGC API - Processes - 
Part 3: Workflows and Chaining/ which allows to:

- connect any dataset served over an OGC API (local or remote) as an 
input to a processing workflowm
- connect a nested process (local or remote) as an input to a process, and
- trigger processing via simple OGC API data requests (e.g. /Features, 
Coverages, Maps, Tiles/...), allowing to access a "virtual" dataset 
(result of the processing) just like any other datasets

One of the thing that was developed as part of our project is a GDAL 
driver for this capability from the client-side:

https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/ogcapi.html

the driver also implements new support for OGC API - Tiles, Maps and 
Coverages in one single unified driver!
Super cool stuff.

This capability is available in the latest development GDAL and QGIS builds.

Many other contributions to open standards and open source were made as 
part of this project, including to pygeoapi, rasdaman, and of course our 
cross-platform Ecere SDK.

Looking forward to tell you more about it, and also hear what you have 
all been up to!

Best regards,

-Jerome
