Description: Creating a Multi-Tool QGIS Plugin with Pyqgis which shows how it can be beneficial for researchers and developers by spending less time on coding the process, they can focus on the analysis of data rather than processing it. In this, I am unifying some existing QGIS Tools in a single processing Plugin.

Duration: ~60 min
Venue: YouTube Link,Jitsi Link
Presenters: Dror Bogin
Description: In this QGIS Short Dror Bogin will take us through some cool geometry generator functionality in QGIS. We'll see how to use expressions to create a simple flag fill, create regular polygons, use polygons as markers, and maybe some other shenanigans if time permits.

Duration: ~60 min
Venue: YouTube Link,Jitsi Link
Presenters: Hans van der Kwast and students
Description: IHE Delft MSc students of the Masters in Water and Sustainable Development present the preliminary results of catchment maps made with QGIS for the subject Water Quality Assessment and Monitoring. Participants of the session can give constructive feedback on how the maps can be further improved, sharing tips and tricks.
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 help us by spreading 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, 27th January 2023 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.
