# Spatial Data Science across Languages workshops
# Spatial Data Science across Languages Community

The ‘Spatial Data Science across Languages’ (SDSL) workshops provide a space for bridging the
communities and establishing cross-language interaction between developers and users.
SDSL seeks to bring together the communities from the common and emerging programming languages used
for data science such as R, Python and Julia, to discuss interoperability, methodological developments,
and shared challenges such as interfacing upstream libraries (including GDAL, GEOS, and PROJ), packaging
and distributing software, and managing user and developer communities.
The ‘Spatial Data Science across Languages’ (SDSL) community seeks to bring
together the communities from the common and emerging programming languages used
for data science such as R, Python and Julia, to discuss interoperability,
methodological developments, and shared challenges such as interfacing upstream
libraries (including GDAL, GEOS, and PROJ), packaging and distributing software,
and managing user and developer communities.

The SDSL workshops aim to identify commonalities and differences between spatial data science languages,
to bridge language barriers and to bring the different communities together to discuss, cooperate, and
synchronise the development efforts.
## Annual Workshop

Our main activity since 2023 has been annual workshops which provide a space for
bridging the various programming-language communities and establishing
cross-language interaction between developers and users.
