If you would like to discuss topics on our Kwakfriday, please add sections below for each discussion along with proposed time and agenda.

Event promotion message:

Dear Users of our beloved QGIS Project

This Friday is KwakFriday! What is KwakFriday 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 a principle of self-organisation and community participation.

Giovanni Manghi (world renowned QGIS expert) and I will be hosting a 2 hour AMA (ask me anything) session on friday morning WET. You can find out more about it here:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/QHF-September-2020

The session will be recorded so if you can't watch live, you can still feel free to submit your QGIS brain teasers and burning questions for Giovanni to answer.

We really encourage others to follow our initiative, using the above wiki page to organise your plans (just add a section below our AMA 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.

Participants are kindly reminded to please read and observe our QGIS Code of Conduct and Diversity Statement to make these events a great experience for everyone!

We look forward to seeing you there!

QGIS AMA (Ask Me Anything)!!!

Background:

In this session we will answer any random QGIS questions! If you need us to work with a sample dataset please make sure to package it up nicely so we can test with it. Giovanni Manghi is a world-leading expert in the use of QGIS and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the QGIS issue tracker. If there is something you are struggling with and you are not sure if it is a bug or 'just you', he is the one to ask! Any questions relating to using QGIS and the QGIS project in general are welcome!

How to submit a question:

  • Send a tweet to @timlinux
  • Add it at the bottom of this list
  • Add it to the YouTube chat at https://youtu.be/S_Av0zeW_XA
  • Hi, is there any plan to create native custom style sharing option in QGIS? E.g. I have some styles others might appreciate and want make them available for others. There is the "QGIS Resource Sharing" plugin but might be useful to have this built-in natively... Thanks :-)
  • What's the recommended way to set defaults for the Map Composer? i.e. font and alignment for text boxes, parameters for the coordinate grid, fonts in the legend, scalebar settings etc. If this can be achieved by saving templates, then please elaborate...
