About QGIS Open Day Promotion Materials

Dear QGIS Users

On Friday, 29 January 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 a principle of self-organisation and community participation.

Programme

No Name Time Coordinator 1 QGIS Dashboards - Next Level 10h00 UTC Tim Sutton, Luis Eduardo 2 QGIS Point Clouds 11h15 UTC Tim Sutton, Martin Dobias, Saber Razmjooei, Nyall Dawson 3 QGIS Ask Me Anything 14h00 UTC Tim Sutton and various experts (panel volunteers please contact me)

See "where to watch" below for the link to the wiki page with session times etc., additional sessions on the day may be announced there.

Adding more events

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.

I 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 the wiki page (see link below). 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.

Where to watch

Please see the event wiki page at https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/QHF-January-2021 for all the details of times and links for watching.
