[Qgis-user] Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS workshop(s) at FOSS4g2007
Hi It seems to me that if we could coordinate our efforts we could try to get the following presentations together: Presentations: - QGIS 'nuts bolts' - all about the Quantum GIS open source desktop GIS application project. - Using QGIS libs in your application Workshops: - plugin writers workshop ( we should get feedback from Marco on whether there was a lot of demand on this ) - QGIS and GRASS - Programming QGIS with python Regards Tim 2007/2/9, Gary Sherman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Greetings, The FOSS4G2007 conference is scheduled for September 24-27, 2007 in Victoria, Canada. I sent out information on the call for workshops earlier in the week. The web page can be found at: http:// www.foss4g2007.org/workshops.html It would be good if several of you (developers/users) submitted a proposal. I think workshops that illustrate the application of QGIS in real-world situations would be good, however they would have to have a broad enough scope to appeal to a wide audience. Developer focused workshops are also of value. In particular, something along the lines of plugin development, application development using QGIS libraries, and plugin/application development using Python would be of interest. I'm sure you have more and better ideas. Read the call for workshops to see the focus areas the organizers are interested in for this years event. I have a favor to ask. If you are planning to submit a workshop proposal, please email me with a few details. I would like to not only be aware of what is being proposed, but also be aware of any overlap and possibility for collaboration. If you want to share your plan with the list, feel free to do so, otherwise just email me directly. I have set up a wiki page that can be used to document conference plans as they evolve: http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/FOSS4G2007_Conference If you need write access to the wiki, create an account and then email me or tim at linfiniti.com. Finally, we are hoping to be able to offer a subsidy for folks presenting a workshop or paper at the conference. This would apply to those that lack any corporate/academic funding. The amount of subsidy will be decided on a case by case basis and will offset some of your costs, not cover them all.

Re: [Qgis-user] Fwd: New and inexperienced--how to make NASA SRTM work properly?
Hi You could also try OpenEV for 3d visualisation Regards Tim 2007/2/10, Amanda Wintcher [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Brent Wood wrote: QGIS (AFAIK) does not support 3D displays of terrain models. It can display vector (point/line/polygon) and georeferenced raster (terrain models, imagery) in 2D (from above) only- basically a plan view. Whoops! I guess I missed that very simple piece of information! Sorry about that. To use SRTM data with QGIS, I believe you'll need to generate georeferenced images from the SRTM terrain model, or download such imagery. GRASS GMT can generate such imagery from the SRTM model. QGIS does not have the analytical capabilities to do this (yet). As said elsewhere on the list, I don't really need to be able to see the data as 3D (except that it will impress my advisors), and I don't plan to try and print anything other than flat images in the final product. I presume that if I have the information in the file, generated using one of the methods above, that I can still use the elevation data in calculations of things like visibility or slope via qGIS? Or am I really better off using GRASS by itself? Thank you all very much for your help and patience.
