Description:
Felt is a browser-based GIS that specializes in sharing and collaboration, and provides an ideal extra layer on top of QGIS for users that need to share their maps with a broader audience. The "Add To Felt" QGIS Plugin, developed by North Road is one of the main ways in which users upload layers to Felt.
Chris Loer, software engineer at Felt, will be talking about the intricacies of the new plugin version, which adds support for local and XYZ raster layers and also a much improved translation of QGIS styles to Felt styles via an automatic conversion of QML (QGIS Style File Format) to FSL (Felt Style Language).
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, 31 May 2024 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.
