QGIS Users Group Meeting – June 20th 2016

Jun 8, 2016 | Chattanooga, OSGEO, QGIS

This morning I had the rare opportunity to spam the world with the wrong date. It’s the 20th.

So – on June 20th from 3:30 to 7ish PM EST there will be a QGIS meetup happening at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga

Address:
701 East ML King BLVD Chattanoog’a TN

I’ve had a lot of people go “We want to learn more about QGIS and Open Source”. So I’m boiling down the class I teach to something like 3 hours. Some have questions on data, some have questions on community, some have questions on making  a map. Well:

  • QGIS and the Community
  • Installing QGIS
  • Data Display and Editing
  • Making a Map

I expect this conversation to meander around. I’m also blocking off 15 or 20 minutes to see if people want to do more of these these type of things – maybe they have something they want to talk about or do more open source type of things. I tried a MapTime meetup and that wasn’t working for me.

We end the 20th at a brewery – probably.

Show up if you are in the area.

I can sum it up: It's not much of one. Way back in my younger days I was infatuated with ArcPlot (which was the plotting portion of ArcINFO). From there I moved to Arcview, ArcMap, and eventually here to QGIS. All of my work typically revolves around Data. I usually...

Tricks with an ESRI File Geodatabase

A few years back I jumped in way over my head with QGIS/Postgis. I had moved a process out of one software and into my favorite two (QGIS/PostGIS) and little did I know the final output had to be a ESRI File Geodatabase. So what did I do? I shamed them into using a...
