<div dir="ltr">Greetings QGIS community,<div><br></div><div>With the release of 3.16 LTS around the corner, we are hoping to have the changelog ready to publish at the time of release. The developers have been hard at work implementing a wealth of new features, which of course makes for a lot of new entries in the changelog which need some help getting dressed up and "publication ready".</div><div><br></div><div>It would be great if some community members would like to get involved in the changelog maintenance process. It is a great way to contribute to the community without the need for highly specialised skills. The skills you will need are:</div><div><br></div><div>- Strong command of the English language</div><div>- Decent writing ability</div><div>- Some basic understanding of the QGIS functionalities and changes you will be describing...</div><div><br></div><div>Basically, the process entails taking the contents from Pull Requests of features introduced by the developers and tidying up the entry into a more publication friendly format suitable for end users.</div><div><br></div><div>We have detailed the workflow for changelog maintenance [1], which includes a recording of our walkthrough of the changelog maintenance process from kwakfest.</div><div><br></div><div>Of particular interest to those interested in partaking are the conventions[2] used when editing changelog entries.</div><div><br></div><div>To get involved, you will need to sign up or have an account at the changelog site[3] and contact myself or Tim Sutton in order to get edit permissions for the changelog entries.</div><div><br></div><div>The more eyes we have going over these entries, the less likely it is that errors will be overlooked. Looking forward to hearing from you all.</div><div><br></div><div>Emails and queries can be directed to charles[at]<a href="http://kartoza.com">kartoza.com</a></div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/Changelog-Workflows" target="_blank">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/Changelog-Workflows</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/Changelog-Workflows#conventions-for-changelog-entries" target="_blank">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/Changelog-Workflows#conventions-for-changelog-entries</a></div><div>[3] <a href="https://changelog.qgis.org" target="_blank">https://changelog.qgis.org</a></div><div><br></div><div>Regards<br clear="all"></div><div><div><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="text-align:center">Charles Dixon-Paver - GIS Specialist<br><div>Cell: +27(0)720607511</div><div style="text-align:center">
