Nice to read a press release about an update to software I use that isn't "we're excited to introduce you to our AI chatbot!!!"

I am really excited to hear that @qgis is gearing up for their next major point release, 4.0!

Having been a user since 2014, the whole project is a testament to the awesome power of #FOSS software. A sizable chunk of my daily work would not be possible without #QGIS.

Good news from #FreeCAD 's "cousin" application #QGIS, " Big Changes Ahead: QGIS Is Moving to #Qt6 and Launching QGIS 4.0!"

Going for an 80's style vector graphics flight down Carnoustie high street. At Mach 0.3 :)

Done with #Blender in EEVEE. Used #QGIS for GIS wrangling, and #Inkscape 'trace bitmap' to get SVG into Blender.

Font is 'Pointed Laid St'.

For their new Safe Streets Plan to reach #VisionZero, @alexkgellis in Providence, RI used my "Walk Potential" metric to better understand pedestrian demand in their city so infrastructure investment can be prioritized where it's most effective.

I'm considering rewriting the Walk Potential software as a #QGIS plugin. Let me know if that would make it more accessible for you to try!

The road to QGIS 4 is open ! The #QGIS Roadmap for the next major version is now official ! https://blog.qgis.org/2025/04/17/qgis-is-moving-to-qt6-and-launching-qgis-4-0/

The migration to Qt6 is almost complete and will enable QGIS to improve significantly. The #CMYK mode will namely be fully available.

As for releases, QGIS 3.40 LTR will be supported until may 2026. QGIS 4.2 will be the next official LTR in February 2026.

Migration work will be required for plugins, we are working on tools and docs.

This month's #QGIS Open Day is on the 25th of April 2025.

Internet down. #qgis works, #ArcGISPro does not. @altbot

I've been setting up a #geonode instance for a #medieval studies institute. Next step will include #qgis training :) any good and clean basemaps that I can use? No #Esri account so I think no esri basemaps are available (because of copyright).

Dear #QGIS

I'm setting up a new Linux laptop and am reconsidering the best way way to manage keeping a particular QGIS version in sync with a number of key plugins.

Last time I used conda and that worked OK.

The Arch Linux package manager struggled with the task and I did not get very far trying Nix as a package manager for these. Is there another choice I should be considering?

An attempti at a cartogram of world population distribution.

Generated cumulative population by lat and long separately, then normalized to lat/long in Web Mercator.

Done in #QGIS with spatialite/GPKG.

Note, individual grid cells don't have same population. But each column, and each row, should be equal population.

The center point should be the median center of population

Data from Kontur 22km hex cell centroids.

Nifty QGIS feature:
If you have a raster map image and you know the projection (in this case I recognized it as Wagner VII), you can just use the Georeferencer tool, put in a few points and assign the projection. Just use the setting ”linear” if you know that no warping is necessary.

Hola ! Quelqu'un connait de bonnes formations QGIS pour les bases ?
(encadrées, si possible en présentiel, donc pas des tutos ou moocs)

Autrement, je réfléchis à proposer des formations en QGIS, en particulier orienté sur la gestion des données naturalistes

GIS folks: is there a viable #QGIS plugin for freehand drawing features that will work in 3.x.x?

It looks like "BeePen" is only good for annotations, and "Freehand Editing" was last updated 12 years ago.

If not, would there be interest in one?

quick map I made about a year ago of Yellowknife showing property tax revenue density

keep on going back to this one as a way to show benefits of denser/central neighbourhoods

wish we had more openly available property tax data like this across Canada
