Sessions
Astral is an open-source framework for working with geospatial data in decentralized systems. It extends the FOSS4G ecosystem with support for location information on smart contract and p2p data systems, including a modular schema, example recipes, and development tools.
This Birds of a Feather (BoF) session will bring together developers, users, and stakeholders to foster dialogue across projects and domains to identify shared needs, reduce fragmentation, and collaboratively advance the capabilities and sustainability of the Python geospatial stack.
