<div>I wouldn't take it down. Let's show users some activity (it
will disappear anyway in 2 weeks when the event is gone). They
can easily ignore it, if they are not interested.</div>

<div>Meanwhile: let's try to implement a way to get access to
the user location (coordinate or country). The server seems
ready for geofencing, but QGIS as a client not.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I don't understand: the QGIS news panel is technically
a web-browser - right? A web-browser send and IP and an IP can
be geolocalized by some external services (with some
uncertainty of course). Something along the lines of <a
href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/contrib/gis/geoip/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/contrib/gis/geoip/</a>
- Would this be possible?<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p>Not even necessarily an external service only, there is also
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/">https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/</a> , a local database
which can be used to map ips to locations. This could be done
server side only, whenever the client doesn't send a specific
location.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Regarding dismiss/updating of entries, I currently see two
different entries, one seems to be cached from an older release.
Do we have a possibility to force-delete the first one from
clients that already downloaded it? Or instead of deleting and
recreating an entry if it contains wrong information to
force-update an existing one?<br>

<p>Hi Andreas, it looks like it is like you say. I tried by
using some vpns and by changing the system location and I
always see the german announce. <br>
</p>
<p>We should probably take it down for now to avoid people
getting the feeling the news are irelewant toi them<br>

<p>Cheers Marco<br>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does that mean that despite my adding of geofencing
around Switzerland, now everybody sees my german news
item about the Postgis day in Zurich?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Theoretically, I could use the language filter, but
the language filter is not so desirable in my opinion,
because I know an awful lot of QGIS users in
Switzerland who have set the language to english -
just because they know english well and all of them
wouldn't see the news item if they switched to
english.</div>

Australian User Group meeting can be shown to just

announcement post after PSC approval and keep the rule
as simple as that?<br>
<br>
It's not that simple. The backend has support for
geofencing, but we<br>
currently don't have any way to geolocate users to
take advantage of<br>
this (aside from manually setting a qsetting value to
your location).<br>
So we'd first need a way to locate users... which
would be<br>
super-useful anyway, e.g. to allow project templates
shipped with QGIS<br>
to open by default somewhere close to the user's
location...<br>
