Joining Forces to Drive Geospatial Innovation

Dear readers, followers and users of my QGIS contributions:

In my trajectory in the GIS world, I have ideated and developed several projects of great interest to the user community, highlighting the QGIS Dashboard plugin, GeoAI, PostGIS Expression and raster analysis. Most of them have been published and made available to the public.

However, despite their progress, these developments have not yet reached their potential, limited mainly by resources and time.

Therefore, I hereby extend a formal request for collaboration to:

1. Research and Academic Institutions: If your organization sees value in these developments, it would be an honor to discuss possible synergies.
2. Business Organizations: If you consider that these projects can contribute to your sector, I invite you to evaluate a possible cooperation.
3. Students and Professionals: If you have contacts or skills you can contribute, your contribution would be invaluable.
4. To the Community at Large: The simple act of disseminating this release can be crucial in reaching out to interested parties.

The objective of this linkage will be to promote, adapt, consolidate and jointly publish these and other projects that may be of interest to these entities.

In order to provide clarity, I briefly outline my visions for two central projects:

GeoAI:

• Integrate variety of IA models, including specific applications for particular crops or infrastructure.
• Incorporate tools to improve the quality of geospatial imagery.
• Simplify the generation of inputs for training new IA models.

QGIS Dashboard:

• Create an advanced interface for statistical and geostatistical analysis and visualization.
• Enable the export of dashboards in web formats.
• Include advanced tools for exploratory analysis and creation of interactive dashboards.

I thank you in advance for your attention to this communication and remain at your disposal for further discussions. It is my hope that, through collaboration, we can optimize and expand the scope and capacity of GIS technology.

Note: thanks to Franz Leonardo and Abimael Cereda Junior for their editorial suggestions and contributions.
