<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>
<p>Cheers Marco<br>

<div>Hi,</div>

</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>

it was one of the key reasons we introduced the feed. We want
to get to know our user base, what their concerns are and
usage habits are. Inviting them to join opt-in surveys and
sharing project news through the feed are a good way to
achieve that.<br>
><br>
><br>
> I disagree a bit on 1 and 2 - Ale introduced a geofencing
capability for the news feed so for example Australian User
Group meeting can be shown to just people in Australia. Posts
can also be language specific. I think we should accept any
local 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>
