[Qgis-community-team] Looking for data to use in qgs-projects for screenshots

[DelazJ]

Thanks

Yes, Richard, I've seen this path but since it's a relative one I couldn't
figure out what was the parent folder, ignoring that sample data needed to
be downloaded from another repo.
So Alexandre, please, make it more explicite since we don't all
remember/know where and what's the QGIS Data sample repo.

Thanks to both of u.
