An open meeting and discussion about the QGIS plugin to manage water networks.
Time: 28 May 2021 11h00 UTC.
Duration: 60 mins
Venue: Youtube Live Stream Link
Presenter: Hans van der Kwast
With QGIS installed in a Conda environment, we can combine the power of QGIS with other available packages without much effort. In this session you'll see how easy it is to setup a Conda environment with QGIS. Next, as an example, we'll install PCRaster, which provides modules for map algebra. In the QGIS Python console we can then import PCRaster, but it's also possible to write processing tools that integrate in the Processing Toolbox and can be used in the Graphical Modeler. Currently around 100 PCRaster tools are available for QGIS in Conda and can be easily installed through the QGIS Resource Sharing Plugin. Some of these tools for environmental analysis and hydrological studies will be demonstrated.
Time: 28 May 2021 12h30 UTC
Duration: 60 - 80 mins
Venue: Youtube Live Stream Link
Presenter Tibor Lieskovsky
This presentation shall focus on ways to convert point clouds to hi-resolution DEM with a discussion on the topic. There will be a few simple workflows on how to clean up the data as well. Finally the session will cover some visualization techniques for hi - resolution lidar. Workflow will be based on QGIS and FOSS (mainly on WhiteboxTools from John Lindsay).
Time: 28 May 2021 15h00 UTC.
Duration: 90 mins
Venue: Youtube Live Stream Link
Presenter: Tim Sutton
Tim will be sharing how you can build a complete open source GIS stack with QGIS at the heart of the stack. He will show how docker and a mega docker-compose file can be used to integrate a whole range of different open source GIS technologies into one platform. Don't worry if you don't know much about docker, the focus will be on moving data and integration between the different parts of the stack which will include QGIS Server, Mergin, PostgreSQL, GeoServer, and more!

You can do this too! We really encourage others to follow our initiative, using the wiki page link below to organise your plans (just add a section below the last one). You can host virtual meetups in the Jitsi room, plan your next steps to take QGIS further down the road to world domination and much much more. We encourage language and region-specific huddles, documentation improvement sessions, bug fixing, making beautiful maps, and working together to do amazing things with QGIS.
We would really love to see more events offered from our country user groups and broader user base. The content can be at any skill level and in any language you like, and the times can overlap if needed. So please feel free to organise your activities on this wiki page. The QGIS Open Day is also an ideal time to hold virtual country user group meet-ups - please share your activities on the open day schedule, so that even people from outside of your country user group can benefit from your presentations. Contact me (see below) if you need help adding your events to the wiki page.
You can spread the word! We have prepared the following materials so that you may easily copy and paste the relevant contents to publish on your media platform of choice to let others know about these awesome events.
About QGIS Open Day
Dear QGIS Users
On Friday, 28th May 2021 we will be holding our monthly QGIS Open Day! What is a QGIS Open Day you may be wondering to yourself? It is an initiative to replace the wonderful community meetups we used to hold every six months when times were different. Like our in-person meetings, the event is organised on the principle of self-organisation and community participation.
Programme
