Do #QGIS pre- and postprocessing scripts work for anyone (especially in 3.40)?
https://docs.qgis.org/3.40/en/docs/training_manual/processing/hooks.html
Whatever I put in there, nothing seems to be executed. No print(), no QgsMessageLog.logMessage, no Path.touch()
Example script for testing:
from pathlib import Path
Path("/tmp/preprocessing").touch()
I have a #GDAL / #QGIS question for the #GIS commnunity in the Fediverse #askFedi concerning the use of geolocation arrays in raster datsets, i.e. in bands the hold (for example) the latitude and longitude of each cell in the raster.
I'm used to produce datasets in UTM format, for which adding the appropriate georeference metadata is simple. However, in this case I'm producing a raster dataset where the cells are distributed in a “warped” area (think aerial imagery with non-affine transform from data matrix to geo coordinates). I have arrays holding resp. the latitude and longitude of each pixel, and can add it to the dataset, I can specify the GCRS (lat/lon WGS84), but I can't seem to be able to find the metadata to add to the raster so that the goelocation arrays are correctly identified as such.
Online there seems to be only sparse documentation about this, generally implying that this is only supported for specific dataset types in specific formats (usually, the standard format from common satellite data) and the only pages I've found on how to “roll your own” refer to a single old-ish mailing list contribution that recommends the use of a sidecar VRT file. Are there any more modern solutions possible?
Thank you to #Kone & Mai and Tor Nessling Foundations for supporting this work. A quantitative work like this would not be possible without a robust suite of FOSS tools. My thanks to the maintainers of #QGIS, #pandas, #geopandas, #duckdb, #dask, #statsmodels, #jupyter and many more!
I am toying with the idea to build a (physical) globe 
myself. Preferably using #QGIS and maybe Inkscape for final touches (or other OS tools).
I would like to design the globe as far as possible in QGIS and then use an appropriate projection to output the lobes. Then glue to a sphere using wallpaper glue etc. - I imagine it difficult to get the labels right.
Surprisingly, I can find few resources on how to approach such a project.
Any pointers or own experience?
Did you attend the presentation on G3W-SUITE this morning at FOSSGIS2025? Are you curious and want to see it in action and learn how it works? We look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM (BoF3/Exp. (Senatssaal)).
We’re proud to partner with Oslandia on the new #QGIS Security Initiative!
This community-funded project will help QGIS meet modern security standards (CRA, NIS2), improve code and plugin security, and strengthen trust across the ecosystem.
Support the initiative and learn more at https://security.qgis.oslandia.com or talk to us at #FOSSGIS2025

QGIS Processing Scripts can now be shared via the QGIS Resources Hub! 
They’re efficient, lightweight tools for automating tasks in #QGIS, requiring #Python & #PyQGIS skills. Easier to develop than plugins, they’re perfect for customizing workflows.

Today Oslandia and partners ( e.g. @opengisch ) publicly launch the "Security Project for QGIS" : a mutualized funding effort to increase QGIS cybersecurity.
Pledge now 
and share the info !
Details here : https://security.qgis.oslandia.com
New regulations (e.g. CRA, NIS2), threat increase, IT requirement, legacy… Many reasons for #QGIS to improve its security practices.
We will work on tech & organizational aspects, and collaborate closely with the user and dev community.
Share the word !
