i think the 2005-2015 era open source boom was built on a nice job environment where people had a little free time and employers believed in creativity
the free time dried up, everyone burned out, 2015-2025 open source has been explicitly targeted toward getting funding & making money. what's next?

The uv build backend is now stable, and considered ready for production use.
An alternative to setuptools, hatchling, etc. for pure Python projects, with a focus on good defaults, user-friendly error messages, and performance.
When used with uv, it's 10-35x faster.

So now there is the 2day AI4EO symposium in Renne in Sep 25 (previously 3 times in Munich organized by TU Munich), and new 1.5 day ML4Earth in Bonn also in Sep 25, directly organized by TU Munich. What's up with that.

I'm looking for any info about how & why it was decided to use the Space Shuttle do create SRTM in 2000
A few questions I have:
- How of the world had we mapped in 3D before 2000?
- Why the Space Shuttle over a dedicate satellite (or pair of satellites)
- How the data was processed
