<div dir="ltr"><p>Dear QGIS Users</p>
<p>On Friday, 29 January 2021 we will be holding our monthly QGIS Open
Day! What is a QGIS Open Day you may be wondering to yourself? It is an
initiative to replace the wonderful community meetups we used to hold
every six months when times were different. Like our in-person meetings,
the event is organised on a principle of self-organisation and
community participation.</p>
<p><strong>Programme</strong></p>
<p>1 QGIS Dashboards - Next Level 10h00 UTC Tim Sutton, Luis Eduardo <br></p><p>2 QGIS Point Clouds 11h15 UTC Tim Sutton, Martin Dobias, Saber Razmjooei, Nyall Dawson <br></p><p>3 QGIS Ask Me Anything 14h00 UTC Tim Sutton and various experts (panel volunteers please contact me)<span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"></span></p>
<p><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"></span>See "where to watch" below for the link to the wiki page with session
times etc., additional sessions on the day may be announced there.</p>
<p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Adding more events</span><br></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"></span>You can do this too! We really encourage others to follow our
initiative, using the wiki page link below to organise your plans (just add a
section below the last one). You can host virtual meetups in the Jitsi
room, plan your next steps to take QGIS further down the road to world
domination and much much more. We encourage language and region specific
huddles, documentation improvement sessions, bug fixing, making
beautiful maps, and working together to do amazing things with QGIS.<span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"></span><br></span></p><p><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">I would really love to see more events offered from our
country user groups and broader user base. The content can be at any
skill level and in any language you like, and the times can overlap if
needed. So please feel free to organise your activities on the wiki page
(see link below). The QGIS Open Day is also an ideal time to hold
virtual country user group meet ups - please share your activities on
the open day schedule, so that even people from outside of your country
user group can benefit from your presentations.<span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"> Contact me (see below) if you need help adding your events to the wiki page.</span></span><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Where to watch</strong></p>
