[CNG 2025] Open Data Cube is Dead. Long Live Open Data Cube – Alex Leith (Lightning Talk) YouTube video by Cloud-Native Geospatial Forum

#CNG2025 Lightning Talk
Remember the days of costly satellite imagery stored on tapes? @ausp.io's presentation shows how far we've come with accessing EO data from a tedious, expensive process into a more efficient and globally accessible resource.

This little checkbox should be checked by default on all Git repositories on @github.com

Super useful not to need to clean up dead branches after a merge!

4.5 DAYS until early bird registration closes.

(Printing maps is very 1990s too!)

I want to complain about maps...

Exhibit 1, rare earth elements. Because the OBJECTID_1 and SHAPE__Length are very important indicators of the availability of rare earth elements.
