Description: Inspired by the world-famous Bob Ross tutorials, the Kartoza interns have created pieces of digital art in QGIS. The goal was to replicate the artistic essence of a Bob Ross painting using QGIS tools like vector layer creation, styling, and digitization techniques.

Duration: +/- 60 min
Venue: YouTube Link, Jitsi link
Presenters: Selma V. Husic & Lova Andriarimalala
Description: QGIS Documentation: We will be presenting the latest updates to the QGIS Documentation User Manual. Learn about the improvements we’ve been working on, which chapters received the most significant enhancements, and gain insights into the documentation process that supports QGIS development. You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions and engage with the team behind the documentation efforts. QGIS Website: In the QGIS' websites development segment, we will showcase the features of the QGIS Resources Hub portal. This will include a deep dive into the publication workflow—from defining resource types to publishing and downloading resources on the website. Additionally, we will provide an early preview of the upcoming standalone websites for the changelog, sustaining members, and certification. While these are still a work in progress, they are expected to go live soon!
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, 28 March 2025 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.
