QGIS Annual General Meeting – 2023

Dear QGIS Community,

We recently held our 2023 QGIS Annual General Meeting. The minutes of this meeting are available for all to view.

This year, we did not have PSC elections. Anita Graser will continue as Vice-Chair, I will continue to serve on the PSC as chair, and our longstanding treasurer, Andreas Neumann, will complete the board. Furthermore, Jürgen Fischer, Alessandro Pasotti, and Régis Haubourg will continue on the PSC. Last but certainly not least, the PSC is completed by our project founder, Gary Sherman, and long-term PSC member Tim Sutton, who serve on the PSC as honorary PSC members. They both set the standard for our excellent project culture, and it is great to have his continued presence.

QGIS has been growing from strength to strength, backed by a fantastic community of kind and collaborative users, developers, contributors and funders. This year, we reached another important milestone for the project’s sustainability by welcoming our first flagship sustaining member – Felt. I look forward to seeing how it continues to grow and flourish.

Rock on QGIS!

Cheers

Marco Bernasocchi (QGIS.ORG Chair)

Call for Proposals: QGIS Website Overhaul 2023/2024

Our web site (https://qgis.org) dates back to 2013, it is time for a revision!

As well as modernizing the look and feel of the site, we want the content to be updated to represent changes in the maturity of the project.

We want to appeal to new audiences, especially business and NGO decision makers (in particular the experience for the front pages), whilst still maintaining appeal to grass roots users (especially the lower level pages which contain many technical details and community collaboration notes).

We want to enhance our fund raising efforts through a site that encourages people to contribute to, as well as take from, the project.

First some key links:

The above websites were created with a mix of technologies:

  • Sphinx (rst)
  • Doxygen
  • Custom Django Apps

It will not be possible to unify the technology used for all of the above sites, but we want all of the web sites to have a cohesive appearance and the navigation flow between them to be seamless. For the main website at https://qgis.org and its child pages, we want to re-implement the site to provide a new experience – according to the design we have laid out in our figma board. Note that we want to follow this design. Some small tweaks will be fine but we are not looking for a ‘from scratch’ re-implementation of our design.

This will be our website for the next 10 years – you need to hand it over to us in a way that we can continue working on it and maintaining it without your intervention.

We are calling for proposals to help us with this migration as per the phases described below.

  • ⌚️Timeline
  • 🏗️ Proposed site structure
    • What content will be kept
    • What will be removed
    • What is new to be added
  • Keep front page as starting point
    • Suggest tweaks if needed
  • Establish a clear vocabulary of page types
    • Second and third level page design
    • Special pages such as
      • Download
      • Release countdown
      • Donation / sustaining members
      • Gallery
      • and any other you identify as non-standard second/third level
  • Guidance and standards for producing visuals like screenshots etc. For example, how we present QGIS screenshots in a flattering way.
  • Establish a plan for auxiliary sites:
    • Plugins.qgis.org
    • Api.qgis.org
    • Docs.qgis.org
    • etc. (see intro for more exhaustive list)
  • Iterative review and feedback from the QGIS web team should be incorporated from biweekly check in calls.

🏆️ Outcome: We have a clear roadmap and design guide for migrating all of our websites to a consistent unified experience.

During this phase the contractor will focus on migrating the content of the main site to the new platform.

There will be an iterative review and feedback from the QGIS web team should be incorporated from biweekly check-in calls.

🏆️ Outcome: https://qgis.org new site goes live! (Target date end of February 2024)

This is out of scope of the current call for proposals but should be part of the overall planning process:

This would be a collaborative process involving a QGIS funded web developer and the consultant. 

Iterative review and feedback from the QGIS web team should be incorporated from biweekly check in calls.

🏆️ Outcome: Auxiliary sites goes live with a cohesive look and feel to match the main site.

  • Maps and screenshots, videos, animations (with inputs from design team)
  • Inputs in terms of content review

✅ Must have an established track record of website design and content creation.

✅ Individuals or companies equally welcome to apply.

✅ Any potential conflict of interest should be declared in your application.

✅ Discussions will happen in English, with live discussions as well as written communication via issues or Pull request. Being reasonably fluent in English and understand the soft skills required to interact in a community project will be more than appreciated

🗓️ Payment milestones

10 % Kick off

40 % Phase 1 Completion

50 % Phase 2 Completion

💸 Indicative budget

We would like to point you to the QGIS Annual Budget so that you have a sense of our broad financial means (i.e. we will not be able to afford proposals in excess of €25,000 for phase 1+2).

https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/annual_reports/index.html

👩‍💻 Technology choices and IP:

  • Must be wholly based on Open Source tooling (e.g. javascript, css, web frameworks)
  • Needs to be ideally implemented in Hugo (or Sphinx)
  • Must produce a static web site (except for existing django based sites)
  • Publication and development workflow will follow standard pull request / review process via our GitHub repositories
  • Mobile friendly
  • Site will be english only – any auto-translation tooling that can be added so that users can trivially see an auto-translated version of the site will be considered favourably.

Your proposal should consist of no more than 5 pages (include links to relevant annexes if needed) covering the following:

  • Overview of yourself / your organization
  • Delivery timeline
  • Team composition
  • Budget for each phase
  • Examples of prior work
  • Bonus things to mention if relevant: GIS experience & working with Open Source projects

Please send your proposal to [email protected] by October 29nd 2023 midnight, anywhere on earth.

QGIS server 3.28 is officially OGC compliant

QGIS Server provides numerous services like WMS, WFS, WCS, WMTS and OGC API for Features. These last years, a lot of efforts were made to offer a robust implementation of the WMS 1.3.0 specification.

We are pleased to announce that QGIS Server LTR 3.28 is now certified against WMS 1.3.0.

This formal OGC certification process is performed once a year, specifically for the Long Term Release versions. But, as every change in QGIS source code is now tested against the formal OGC test suites (using OGC TeamEngine) to avoid any kind of regressions, you can always check any revision of the code against OGC failures in our Github continuous integration results.

All this has been possible thanks to the QGIS’s sustaining members and contributors.

QGIS Contributor meeting at BIDS ‘23 Vienna

We are happy to announce that OSGeo kindly extended an invitation to have a QGIS contributor meeting joining the OSGeo Community Sprint 2023 during the Big Data from Space 2023 conference in Vienna.

The 26th QGIS Contributor Meeting will be held from Monday, November 6th to Thursday, 11th.

For more details and to sign up, please visit the corresponding OSGeo announcement page.

About QGIS contributor meetings

QGIS Contributors Meetings are volunteer-driven events where contributors to the QGIS project from around the world get together in a common space – usually a university campus. During these events, contributors to the QGIS project take the opportunity to plan their work, hold face-to-face discussions and present new improvements to the QGIS project that they have been working on. Everybody attending the event donates their time to the project for the days of the event. As a project that is built primarily through online collaboration, these meetings provide a crucial ingredient to the future development of the QGIS project. The event is planned largely as an ‘unconference’ with minimal structured programme planning. We do this to allow attendees the freedom to meet dynamically with those they encounter at the event. Those sessions that are planned are advertised on the event web page, and we try to enable remote participation through video conferencing software. Although our hosts are not funded and donate the working space to us, we show our appreciation by making one of our software release’s splash screens in honour of that host, which is a great way to gain exposure of your institution and country to the hundreds of thousands of users that make use of QGIS.

About OSGeo

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) has a long tradition of organizing code sprints for developers of Free and Open Source GIS software.

Since 2009, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) has been organizing a yearly Code Sprint of the “C Tribe” OSGeo projects, which has evolved into a full OSGeo Community Sprint and all “Tribes” are included/welcome. Leading developers of projects like GDAL, PostGIS,
MapServer, GeoServer, GRASS, QGIS, PDAL, pygeoapi and many more get together to discuss new ideas, hack, decide, tackle large geospatial problems and have fun.

The OSGeo Community Sprint is open to all who wish to participate in one or more projects. There is always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, testing – all this is also important for projects so everyone is cordially invited to attend the code sprint!

About BiDS

BiDS brings together key actors from industry, academia, EU entities and government to reveal user needs, exchange ideas and showcase the latest technical solutions and applications touching all aspects of space and big data technologies, providing a unique opportunity to discuss and present the most recent innovations and challenges encountered in the context of big data from space. The 2023 edition of BiDS will focus not only on technologies enabling insight and foresight inferable from big data from space. Together, we want to emphasize how breakthrough space data-driven technologies impact society’s grand challenges, such as climate change and the green transition.

The event, organized by the European Space Agency (ESA) together with the European Union Satellite Center (SatCen) and the Joint Research Center (JRC), will take place at the Austria center Vienna, and counts on the support of the partners FFG, Austria in Space and the Federal Ministry Republic of Austria.

QGIS Grant Programme 2023 Results

We are extremely pleased to announce the 4 winning proposals for our 2023 QGIS.ORG grant programme:

Funding for the programme was sourced by you, our project donors and sponsorsNote: For more context surrounding our grant programme, please see: QGIS Grants #8: Call for Grant Proposals 2023.

The QGIS.ORG Grant Programme aims to support work from our community that would typically not be funded by client/contractor agreements. This means that we did not accept proposals for the development of new features. Instead proposals focus on infrastructure improvements and polishing of existing features.

Voting to select the successful projects was carried out by our QGIS Voting Members. Each voting member was allowed to select up to 6 proposals. The full list of votes are available here (on the first sheet). The following sheets contain the calculations used to determine the winner (for full transparency). The table below summarizes the voting tallies for the proposals:

A couple of extra notes about the voting process:

  • Voting was carried out based on the technical merits of the proposals and the competency of the applicants to execute on these proposals.
  • No restrictions were in place in terms of how many proposals could be submitted per person / organization, or how many proposals could be awarded to each proposing person / organization.
  • Voting was ‘blind’ (voters could not see the existing votes that had been placed).

We received 35 votes from 20 community representatives and 15 user group representatives.

On behalf of the QGIS.ORG project, I would like to thank everyone who submitted proposals for this call!
