Re: [Qgis-user] OpenSource software for Drones

[Jeffrey Johnson]

Interestingly enough, the main ground station software for the
3DRobotics/DIYDrones stuff is based on Qt like QGIS is.
http://planner2.ardupilot.com/ and https://github.com/diydrones/apm_planner
I wonder if there are opportunities for direct integration. CC'ng a friend
of mine at 3DR that works on the android based ground station as he may
know more or be able to point you at other resources.

I own a 3DR MultiRotor, but as Brent said, the learning curve is very steep
and long. The craft from DJI are supposedly a little more easy to use, but
are not open source in any way as far as I know.

Re: [Qgis-user] FOSS4G 2014 Workshop submissions

Sounds great to me!

 Hi Tim, et al.,
 
 I am currently working on a presentation and workshop for the upcoming 
 inaugural QGIS user group meeting in DC [0]. The concept is on how to become 
 a QGIS developer. There is an obvious dearth of developers in the US compared 
 to around the globe, though most certainly not because there is a lack of 
 potential developers.
 
 The focus will be on the many avenues one can gain working knowledge and 
 apply their ideas to help the project and themselves or their business, 
 whether it be with writing plugins, standalone apps, documentation or 
 tutorials, or submitting code pull requests. The goal is to get potential US 
 developers excited about and involved in the project.
 
 The presentation/workshop covers taking the first steps from user to 
 developer and an overview of the project's structure and organization. It 
 includes an overview of the technologies used and recommends tools and 
 workflows for working with and managing both QGIS and Python/plugin source 
 code. It is not about how to specifically write code, but how to gain the 
 knowledge and set up the development environment to do so, regardless of 
 platform, and what to do with the working and finished code/plugin/app.
 
 Additionally, it covers the benefits of becoming a developer, or sponsoring 
 one as a business.
 
 I think this would make a good FOSS4G workshop, especially once the 
 presentation/workshop has been trial-run at the US user meeting. I've done 
 smaller, similar presentations for the local GIS community here in the past.
 
 If others agree this would be a good workshop, I'll submit something today.

 Hi All
 
 I was just wondering if anyone has made submissions to run QGIS workshops at 
 the upcoming FOSS4G 2014 event. As I write this it is about 13 hours to the 
 closing event. It would be great if those planning to submit workshop 
 proposals coordinate a little to avoid duplication. I know Jeffrey Johnson 
 is putting in to do a QGIS Analysis workshop. Is anyone planning to offer an 
 introductory workshop (or anything else)?
 
 It would be great if the US folks could pool effort - perhaps also giving a 
 quick start guide to writing QGIS plugins would be nice!

Yep, being developed privately and will be released to our github. Not
sure the timeline on that, but I will check and reply back.

Re: [Qgis-user] Organizing a US / North American User Group

[Jeffrey Johnson]

Having a separate list isn't so critical. That said, the intention was
to use it to discuss organizing local events rather than for general
knowledge/questions which should go to this list.

Alex, your point about splitting mindshare is well taken and you do
nail the one point which is that we are finding that QGIS is kind of a
hook to get people into FOSS4G that otherwise might not be interested.
So having a QGIS Specific 'User Group' makes sense to get people
involved who might otherwise be overwhelmed by the full scope of
FOSS4G groups. I do think it makes sense to generally try to organize
local events around the dates of the other events you mention. Thats
the idea for this first one before State of the Map in DC.

 There really isn't a procedure that I've seen. I think most people are
 served by local user groups of FOSS or GIS origin. North America might
 even be too big of a geographic area for what many traditionally call a
 user group. I see a good role being to help ensure Birds of a
 Feather/Local meets whenever good related conferences roll into town:
 FOSS4G, FOSS4GNA, NACIS, State of the Map, URISA (e.g. WAURISA, CalGIS)
 etc...

 Note the comparison in the EU is the hackfests which is really a lot of
 developers and power users getting together to work on QGIS.

  Please contact me off-list if you are interested in helping with this
  effort and as soon as we get a mailing list going I'll follow up with
  a link here.
 
  Hoping to see some of you in DC in April!
 
  Jeff

 My personal opinion is that beyond meetups coinciding with other confs,
 and possibly organizing QGIS hackfests (can be user oriented) that most
 other functions of such a group overlap either with QGIS' existing
 infrastructure (e.g. do we really need our own mailing list since the
 main QGIS ones are in English except to discuss regional events?) or
 OSGeo chapters.

 Guess I'm mostly hesitant about splitting the FOSS4G community
 mindshare, I don't use QGIS in isolation and never would (unlike some
 monolithic software packages), so to me leaving out Postgis, Spatialite,
 GRASS, (Everything else in Processing) kinda misses the mark.

 But I do get the notion that some things simplified can be more
 attractive to a general audience (ie hook in the QGIS users out there
 somehow).

 Thanks,
 Alex
