Hi Michael,
Or you could buy a used Intel Mac that is only 1-3 years old. I would
assume that many Apple afficionados are eager to jump to new hardware
and would give away the old Intel stuff for a bargain. If QGIS is
important to you, that might be a better deal than becoming an early
adopter of arm hardware and suffer from all the early problems. Over the
years - after all the major problems are solved, I would agree that a
more energy efficient processor sounds compelling.
About documentation: documenter are always welcome. The introduction can
be found at https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/document.html -
there is a dedicated mailing list for documenters and you need a github
account.
Thanks in advance for your efforts in joining the documentation team!
Greetings,
Andreas

Thanks to everyone who responded to my email.
I'm currently running a 27" late-2013 iMac, whose life I extended by upgrading
the boot drive to SSD. While it's still a capable machine, I don't think it has 2+
more years left in it. Sigh. So I may be forced to make the ARM transition sooner
rather than later, unless I decide to upgrade to an Intel iMac instead (which is not
so desirable given my other commitments to the Apple eco-system)..
I've been running QGIS on Macs since 1.x. Over the years Mac support has been
spotty even into the 3.xx era. For example, a few months ago I had to run the
Windows version in a VM to export a georeferenced PDF. That was a python issue,
I think... QGIS 3.8 needed a later version of phython which didn't then exist
for Mac. That said, a sincere thanks to kyngchaos making it possible to run on
Mac at all for many of those years!
Good news that the port to ARM should be straight-forward. I do hope it
becomes a priority because the inherent energy efficiency of the ARM chipsets
should make for some compelling hardware, particularly for laptop users.
Finally, I would like to volunteer to write some documentation. What's the
best way to do that?
Michael

Hello! I am with QGis version 3.10.x.
How can I export a composite image to kmz format?
Thank you

Hi,
earlier posts said that a port to ARM architecture should not be too big of a
problem.
I do not remember the details, but my conclusion was: Just wait, no problems to
expect.
But I have to admit that I own a MacBook Pro from 2019 and do not plan to
change in the next five or more years. I would hesitate to buy ARM architecture
in the next 12 months anyway.
Best,
Maria

I've just joined this email list, so if this has been covered earlier, I
apologize. Also, let me know if I should be directing this question to a

Do plans exist to port QGIS to the new Apple Mac ARM architecture?
While I am not technical enough to help with the coding/re-compiling, I am a
good documentation writer and would be happy to help document a new Mac
release. How should I volunteer?

Hi,
I believe only Vector layers are supported. Kmz is a zipped kml.
Nicolas
https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/kml.html
Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is an XML-based language for managing the display
of 3D geospatial data. KML has been accepted as an OGC standard, and is
supported in one way or another on the major GeoBrowsers. Note that KML by
specification uses only a single projection, EPSG:4326. All OGR KML output will
be presented in EPSG:4326. As such OGR will create layers in the correct
coordinate system and transform any geometries.
At this time, only vector layers are handled by the KML driver. (there are
additional scripts supplied with the GDAL project that can build other kinds of
output)

Ça va bien aller!

Hi
I have a challenge. I have 2 vector data sets. One is point vectors
(Occurrence of a soil fungus Pc at a point +red with a year of sampling
as a label) and polygon vectors that show the various surface geologies in
an area ( the name is on the boundary (purple) Inside of the one it is
e.g. S10, S8 Mc1 etc.
QGIS can give me the number of Pc sample points in each polygon which I have
done. I want to be able to get the distance from the point to the NEAREST
boundary and the other name of the surface geology of the closest adjoining
polygon I want it for all Pc points
How do I do that in QGIS ??
Thanks Dave

Hi
We have already ported QGIS to iOS for Input app (https://inputapp.io and
https://github.com/lutraconsulting/input-sdk/tree/master/ios). iOS is ARM
based architecture. Hence, it should be possible and straightforward to
support the new mac ARM too. It also depends on the upstream support from
Apple, Qt, Python...
Kind regards
Saber
