I’m launching #QwastTube: a #PeerTube‑based, privacy‑friendly alternative to my YouTube channel.
If you care about digital sovereignty and open‑source GIS, this is for you.
I’m still importing videos, but it’s already live:

“A new tutorial on creating hydroflattened DEMs directly from airborne point cloud data has been posted in the GRASS tutorials site... There is a link in the tutorial to a more detailed version on Zenodo.
Be sure to check out the other tutorials on the recently renewed tutorial site…”

Great vídeo from @hansakwast "Introduction to the Geospatial Abstraction Library (GDAL) with the new CLI"
Practical examples to manipulate raster and vector files with #gdal 's new commands.
Thank you Hans!

#QGIS #OpenSourceGIS #CommunityBuilding #QGISOpenDay
🚀 Today, I'm running a workshop on #PointCloud Processing in #QGIS at #FOSS4GEurope 2025 in #Mostar! We'll dive into:
🔹️ Downloading & preprocessing data
🔹️ Creating DSMs with interpolation
🔹️ 3D visualization & styling
🔹️ Elevation profiles & filtering
🔹️ Automation with #PDAL Wrench
🔹️ Editing point clouds
💻 Can’t join in person? Free access at @gisocw

🎙Last Saturday, I had a great chat with Safae Aala on the I.Talk podcast about my 25-year GIS journey. We covered QGIS, open source, education & innovation.
📺 Check it out here: https://youtu.be/_qhJezrsK-o

Check out @spatialthoughts's "QGIS Expressions Masterclass" workshop. This was first presented at the QGIS Conference 2025 in Sweden and now made available on his channel
🎥 New video demonstrating the #QGIS Resources Hub portal and QGIS Hub plugin: https://youtu.be/79yFgVLvuZM
Improvements were made during the QGIS Contributor Meeting last week in Norrköping, Sweden. Thanks to @xpirix, @ismailsunni & Ronit Jadhav!
Looking forward to see more contributions from the QGIS community to the hub! Styles, projects, models, layer files, Map Gallery & Processing Scripts—all making the hub a richer resource for geospatial innovation! 🚀 :qgis:
An extremly useful new #qgis-Plugin: Atlasgrid by Mortem Storm (https://github.com/styrke10/atlasgrid). No more fiddling around for making a fitting atlasgrid, just a few mouse-clicks
The GRASS Developer Summit is happening next week 🎊🥳🎉 We’re excited to see you 🫵 there!!

📣 1 MILLION DOWNLOADS! QField started as an open-source dream, now mapping in 150+ countries!
Thanks for making GIS nerds the unsung heroes of fieldwork everywhere. Here's to changing the world, one field at a time!
🔥 De QGIS.NL-dag & ALV 2025 gisteren in Utrecht was een topdag! 💻💚
Samen hebben we gewerkt aan de website (https://qgis.nl/), stickers, ledenadministratie en meer! We hebben ook een leuke nieuwe groepsfoto 📸. De dag werd afgesloten met een gezellige borrel en pizza's 🍕.
Dank aan iedereen die heeft bijgedragen—de community groeit en bloeit! 🫶🏼 :qgis:
This month's #QGIS Open Day is on the 25th of April 2025.

🤖 Afgelopen vrijdag hebben wij bij #ITC
@utwente de toekomst van #AI #MachineLearning en #DeepLearning in #QGIS verkend. Inspirerende presentaties over plugins en tools. Waardevolle discussies en inzichten voor de toekomst van deze technologie in QGIS. Dank aan alle deelnemers en in het bijzonder onze internationale gasten Matthias Kuhn en @suricactus van @opengisch.
Dank aan Rosa Aguilar voor het organiseren en de steun van @eScienceCenter!
