1st UK QGIS user group meeting -Wales
This is just an interim post, the full blog is being written up by Kevin Williams and You Tube videos are being put together by Shaun Lewis. To wet your appetite, you can see the introduction presentation and agenda on SlideShare.
Update 27th January 2014 :-
A long overdue update.
The event was a big success! We had around 50 people attend from various organisations throughout Wales. The event was kindly sponsored by Exegesis (http://www.esdm.co.uk/) and Astun Technology (www.http://astuntechnology.com/) both of which gave excellent presentations.
Huge thanks to Shaun Lewis and his manager, Paul Funnell for hosting the event in such a professional manner. The venue and technology were second to none.
There’s been lots of feedback via email and phonecalls, together with a survey carried out by Shaun Lewis of Brecon Beacons National Park.
From all of the comments, the future is bright for QGIS in Wales. There is an ever-increasing interest and numbers of users, not just in QGIS but in the full SDI provided by QGIS, postgis, geoserver etc. I can see the group incorporating elements of the open source stack to give a more detailed advice, collaboration and guidance, but let’s walk before we can run!

Scottish QGIS User Group
The inaugural Scottish QGIS user group meeting is being planned and organised for mid-March next year. If you would like to participate, I am looking for user presentations, case studies, map displays and practical demos and tutorials.
The event will be held in Stirling and will be a full day of networking and open-source geo-goodness. Full details will go out in the new year and will be available through Eventbrite, this blog, the Google+ group, Twitter and probably a heap of other channels. After the success of the English and the Welsh events we are hoping the Scottish event will raise the bar even higher. Please use the contact form to get in touch with me, Ross McDonald.
Scottish QGIS User Group 19th March 2014
The Scottish QGIS user group meeting is happening on 19th March 2014 in Stirling at the Stirling Management Centre. Doors open at 9:30 with a 10:00 start and a planned finish of 16:00. Registration is through Eventbrite and there are 50 places available working on a first come, first served basis.
Details on how to get to the Stirling Management Centre are available here.
The agenda will be published a bit closer to the time once speakers have been finalised. If you would like to present let me (Ross McDonald) know as it would be good to have a mix of input to the day. There are both 20 minute and “lightning talk” 5-10 minute slots available.
A big thank-you to thinkWhere for hosting this first QGIS user group event in Scotland.
If you want two days of geo discussion then think about attending the AGI Scotland – Future Cities event in Glasgow the day before. Check the AGI Scotland website for more details.
