FOSS4G SE United States – QGIS Meeting

Apr 5, 2019 | QGIS

Here comes about the most abstract thing I’ve done in a while.

I’ve been having meetings centered around FOSS4G Software in the Southeastern US (Knoxville TN – UTK) for the last 2 years. Over the last 2 we’ve had talks ranging from GRASS to LIDAR to SAGA to QGIS and all points in between. We even have a listserve for email.

Now that we are in the third year I want to shake this up a bit. I’m announcing a QGIS centric meeting for October of 2019. I don’t have a firm date because I have no clue who is interested and who isn’t. I can easily take this to Knoxville or Chattanooga – but my worry with a QGIS centric meeting we may attract more than the normal crows which would be a great thing.

So with that I’m probably going to start some chatter on the QGIS-us users list and a few other places but center it on the southeast-us listserve. SO JOIN THAT MAILING LIST TO HELP ME NOT LOSE MORE HAIR.

  • Cost: As cheap as I can make it
  • Location: Somewhere free
  • Who: You
  • Sponsors: I’ll scream your name out
  • Talks: Yes
  • Workshops: Maybe

With that – prepare to see more noise and a possible website crank up – I’ve got enough lead in time so maybe we can make this a grand adventure. If you want to help email me and you can be part of the insanity.

I don't know if I would label this exercise as fun but I've learned alot. I don't do a ton of data collection these days. At one time a few years ago I was out in the field with Fulcrum, a laptop, and sketchy internet for days at a time. These days I'm hardly ever...
