Code Sprint QGIS Grenoble, March 2024 - qgis/QGIS GitHub Wiki
QGIS local code sprint in Grenoble 26 march 2024
This opportunistic event will happen the day before QGIS FR user days. Why not join all the contributors that planned to come to the user conference :) It will probably mainly be a French speaking event, but still open to anyone interested
See https://conf.qgis.osgeo.fr if your are interested in going to the conference or helping with the workshop day.
There will also be a local OSM event on the 26 March, in the same building.

What is a Contributor Meeting?
A QGIS Contributor Meeting is a volunteer-driven event where contributors to the QGIS project from around the world get together in a common space. The event is normally three days in duration and we hold two such events each year. During these events, contributors to the QGIS project take the opportunity to plan their work, hold face-to-face discussions and present new improvements to the QGIS project that they have been working on. Everybody attending the event donates their time to the project for the days of the event. As a project that is built primarily through online collaboration, these meetings provide a crucial ingredient to the future development of the QGIS project. The event is planned largely as an ‘unconference’ with minimal structured programme planning. We do this to allow attendees the freedom to meet dynamically with those they encounter at the event. Those sessions that are planned are advertised on the event web page and we try to enable remote participation through video conferencing software. Although our hosts are not funded and donate the working space to us, we show our appreciation by making one of our software release’s splash screens in honour of that host, which is a great way to gain exposure of your institution and country to the hundreds of thousands of users that make use of QGIS.
Code of conduct
When attending our meetings we ask you to please abide by the QGIS diversity statement and Code of Conduct. We also ask attendees to respect local laws, customs and culture and be good ambassadors for the QGIS project.

Individual Preparation
- Bring your own laptop (and power supply and adapter!). French sockets (Type E) (230V/50Hz) look like this:
The Type E plug has two round pins (diameter 4.8mm, centers spaced 19mm apart) and a hole for the earth pin. The Type E plug is round, and the Type E socket has a round recess.
Note: The CEE 7/7 plug can be used with both Type E and Type F sockets. It has a hole (for the earth pin of Type E sockets) as well as earth clips on the sides (to work with Type F sockets).
The Type E plug is used for currents up to 16 A.
Workshops
Please submit workshops you would like to lead
Morning
QGIS as an ETL
Lead: Jacky Volpes
timing : 1h30
The landscape of ETL is changing a lot these days with the end of Talend open source and the cost explosion of FME. It is favorable to the emergence of an open source ETL, and QGIS Processing is clearly a good candidate.
- Florent Fougères will introduce Oslandia's work in progress about listing QGIS modeler features VS FME and some key features missing in QGIS
- Valentin Buira will present a very nice GSoC project to revamp QGIS modeler UI, heavily inspired by node-based applications outside the GIS world, especially the open source software Blender.

Integrate a 3d computational library in QGIS
Lead: Loïc Bartoletti and Jean Felder
timing : 1h30
QGIS relies on some 3d algorithms for QGIS 3D and the elevation profile tool. However, it does not use an external 3d computational library which can result on some issues and limitations. For example, QGIS 3D is not able to properly display a 3d line because of the lack of a 3D buffer algorithm. Besides, the elevation profile tool is not able to properly handle some edge cases for lines and polygons because there is no 3d intersection.
There are a lot of libraries to handle these 3d algorithms. However, SFCGAL seems like a good fit for a QGIS integration because it suits well in the OSGEO ecosystem and it is already used by postgis and gdal.
This workshop aims to present a study in order to add SFCGAL as a new QGIS optional dependency. QGIS already provides geos integration by using a class named QgsGeos which inherits from QGsGeometryEngine. SFCGAL could use a similar approach by creating a new QgsSFCGAL class and integrate some popular 3d algorithms such as buffer and intersection.

Afternoon
QGIS security process, how to prepare to CRA obligations ?
https://demo.hedgedoc.org/L1oKpYlqQj2LfLS5AwU5YQ#
timing : 1h30
Lead: Régis Haubourg
- Discuss activation of github's security options (code scanner, secret scanner, dependabot)
- redirect trafic to private issues
- new website security page
- CRA, what can we really expect ?
QGIS packaging
timing : 1 h 30
Lead : Loïc Bartoletti @lbartoletti
QGIS is distributed across all platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, *BSD, Haiku, etc.). While each BSD or Linux system employs its own packaging system, there are multiple other ways to install QGIS. On Linux, Debian has packages in the main repository. However, alternative packages are also available, which are more up-to-date and may lead to conflicts. On Windows, there are at least three solutions: the most well-known being OSGeo4w, but also MSYS2 and Conda. Additionally, we can mention vcpkg, which is gaining popularity among Windows developers. vcpkg, like Conda, aims to be multi-platform, as Nixpkg or Pkgsrc already are, but the two are mainly on unix-like platform. Given these solutions, the question arises as to what can be offered in a modern and installable manner through App Store-like platforms, such as the Microsoft Store or the App Store, which is not currently the case for 98% of our users on Windows and macOS. The workshop aims to examine the strengths and weaknesses of existing solutions, gather feedback from various packagers and developers, and facilitate a discussion on the current market landscape.
Ski in Grenoble
yes, it is a good timing for this :)
Climbing shoes are also welcome, we have plenty of climbing places.
